Tips

  • Three of the four brunch picks are by the river; Cat 'n' A Cup is the one central option, worth knowing if you're planning your morning around one area.
  • Chivit Thamma Da's garden fills up after 11:00; arrive before then if you want a table without a wait.
  • Le Meridien's Sunday brunch is the only proper buffet of the four, and it's priced accordingly at 1,200-1,800 THB against 200-600 THB for the cafe options.
  • Cat 'n' A Cup gets busy on both Saturday and Sunday, so a weekday visit is the easier way to skip the queue.
  • Melt In Your Mouth is the most relaxed of the group for a weekday walk-in — no need to plan ahead.
