"Let's go on a date!!!! Rooftop restaurant with Chao Phraya River view, great music, delicious food
Must come to Top Knot Rooftop Bar & Restaurant @ Hotel Once"
Hello everyone, welcome back to Stop me. Of course, there must be something delicious and tempting to review as usual. And today, we're taking everyone to get to know a rooftop restaurant with a great atmosphere and delicious food, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the Charoen Krung area.
If you're ready to experience the deliciousness, just scroll down and read!
Menu
This restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes to choose from, including appetizers, pasta, steaks, burgers, and even Thai food.
The bar serves a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including wine, beer, liquor, cocktails, and mocktails.
Food
Let me start by saying that the portion sizes are not small. We understand that the food sizes are generally average, but when we ordered, we were surprised by how much food we received. We wondered if we would be able to finish it all. However, as we continued to eat, we managed to finish everything.
The Double cheese burger is a meat-based menu item with a generous amount of cheese. What we particularly enjoyed was the bread, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We have only come across a few burger places that have bread of this quality. The abundance of cheese is sure to please cheese lovers. The sauce was delicious enough that we didn't need to add any more, and the French fries were large and very crispy. The standout feature was the French fries. If you enjoy crispy French fries, you will love these. Another menu item is the Classic carbonara, which is a carbonara pasta dish with an egg yolk on top. It is very visually appealing and includes parmigiano cheese.
Strip loin beef 354g.
The signature dish of the restaurant is the Hot Pan Dry-Aged Beef Steak. This dish is special because the beef is specially selected and aged using the restaurant's unique method, which takes 35 days! This meticulous process gives the meat a special aroma. The restaurant serves it on a hot pan with gravy sauce, which makes it taste delicious. If you want to try it with Thai basil sauce, you can dip it in the sauce.
The restaurant informed us that only Strip loin beef was available today. After ordering this dish, the staff brought us a chart of the size of the meat and the price. The small pieces were almost sold out, so we decided to choose the largest piece available at that time. The chef recommended that we eat it Medium, as the aged meat is quite dry. If you eat it well done, the meat will be too dry and lose its flavor and tenderness.
Personally, I like this dish the most. I usually eat well-done meat because I'm afraid it will be raw, but here, the chef cooked it so that it wasn't raw at all, even though the meat was still red. The meat was very tender and not dry. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it. Before I knew it, I had finished it all.
Draft Beer
On the day of our visit, the restaurant was running a buy-two-get-one-free promotion on beer and cocktails. However, we preferred to sip on beer at our leisure, so we ordered a glass of Singha draft beer. We enjoyed it with the snacks provided by the restaurant, making for a relaxing experience.
Outdoor Zone Atmosphere
The outdoor seating area is located on the 9th floor, accessible by a double spiral staircase. Upon exiting the elevator, you are greeted by the sound of music and a luxurious atmosphere. The tables are adorned with marble patterns, and the chairs are upholstered in black fabric. The warm yellow lighting creates a comfortable and relaxing ambiance. The cool breeze and panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River, city buildings, and evening lights make for a truly memorable experience.
Indoor Atmosphere
As the rain began to fall, we moved to the indoor area on the 8th floor. It was then that we realized the source of the music we had been hearing: two musicians playing below. Ah, so that's where those beautiful voices were coming from! Unlike the open-air area above, this indoor space is air-conditioned (of course!). The chairs here are wooden with backrests, unlike the fabric ones upstairs. The walls are made of clear glass, offering a view of the outside. There's even a bar downstairs!
Receipt
After enjoying the atmosphere and food to the fullest, I asked the staff for the bill. The restaurant accepts Mastercard, so if you don't have cash, you can pay with your card.
The restaurant charges a 7% VAT and a 10% service charge. However, the staff was very friendly and provided excellent service, including recommending delicious dishes and being attentive. Therefore, I believe the 10% service charge is reasonable.
The total cost was 1,302.94 baht. (We received a 50% discount on food, specifically burgers and spaghetti carbonara. If you're interested, you can book through Eatigo. The restaurant also has a 2-for-1 drink promotion, which is a great deal.)
