Peruvian Food in Bangkok and Khao San Road
Above Eleven
If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Bangkok, Above Eleven is a must-visit. Nestled atop the Fraser Suites in Sukhumvit, this trendy rooftop restaurant and bar offers stunning 33rd-floor views of the city skyline, making it an ideal destination for an evening out.
Upon arrival, I was immediately captivated by the striking design, which artfully blends elements of urban New York and the lush nature of a Peruvian jungle. The vibrant greenery and modern metal structures create a unique ambiance that sets the stage for a memorable evening.
The menu, a fusion of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine known as Nikkei, is both innovative and delicious. I began my culinary journey with the Ceviche Above Eleven, which was an absolute delight, featuring fresh seafood marinated in leche de tigre, with a subtle hint of wasabi. For the main course, I had spicy beef empanadas, fish tacos, and cream cheese & salmon sushi.
Above Eleven offers a winning combination of innovative cuisine, breathtaking views, and an exciting atmosphere that makes it an essential destination for anyone visiting Bangkok. Plus, they have a pretty cool men’s bathroom. Make sure to reserve a table in advance, as this popular spot fills up quickly.

As dusk falls, neon lights flicker to life, igniting the night with electrifying energy that transforms Khao San Road into an urban playground for travelers, expats, and locals alike.
