Exploring the sophisticated flavours
of Greenhouse Restaurant &

Terrace.

BY GRACE CLARKE

here’s a certain allure in seeking comfort, especially
when it’s wrapped in the embrace of an exceptional
Thai meal. And when that experience unfolds in a

space that mirrors the refinement of the dishes themselves,
you know you’re in for something riveting. Greenhouse
Restaurant & Terrace at Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok is
just such a place. Step inside, and the city’s lively pulse
melts away into an atmosphere of refined tranquillity –

a delicate tune that harmonises with Bangkok’s vibrant
energy, inviting you to rejuvenate as you savour each
passing moment.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Upon stepping out of the elevator on the seventh floor of

Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok, I was immediately welcomed by
the inviting embrace of the renowned establishment. The
interior is thoughtfully adorned with blond wood accents,
a playful juxtaposition of wood and tile flooring, sleek

black metal details, and strategically placed greenery; a
refreshing oasis amid the city’s bustling pace.
As your gaze sweeps across the expansive restaurant, your
attention is inevitably drawn to the terrace, which offers

a captivating view of the city skyline. The outdoor space
beckons, inviting you to step through the glass doors,
where you can sip your drink of choice by their outdoor
bar while basking in the golden hues of a Bangkok sunset.
Inside, the bar is fully equipped with the essentials to

craft your favourite cocktails, offering a sophisticated MASALA
