Aesop's

Bangkok


Traditional Greek dishes, complete with plate-smashing theatrics, make Aesop's a meal to remember. Run by Greek/Australian John Gamvros, to honour his father’s famous Sydney diner, it’s fresh Mediterranean cooking at its finest. Spanakopita (spinach and cheese filo pie) and kofta (grilled lamb and beef skewers) are two standout dishes, while on Sunday, brunch with backgammon takes place from noon to 4pm.
