If you’re someone who believes dining is about more than just food - that it’s an experience filled with flavors, ambiance, and memories - then you’re in for a treat. Located in the heart of Bangkok, The Riddler isn’t your typical Japanese dining experience and wine bar. Here, you get to indulge in creative Japanese fusion cuisine and impeccable wine pairings for an unforgettable gastronomic restaurant adventure.
What Is a Gastronomic Restaurant?

To understand why The Riddler is such a standout, it’s helpful to know what a gastronomic restaurant is. At its core, a gastronomic restaurant focuses on culinary artistry, pushing boundaries with innovative techniques and premium ingredients. It usually means the restaurant offers carefully curated menus - whether à la carte or tasting - designed to surprise and delight the palate.
Exceptional service is also a hallmark of a gastronomic restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a team that’s as passionate about the dining experience as you are. Every recommendation, every glass of wine poured, and every dish placed before you is part of a carefully crafted journey.
Finally, the ambiance plays a starring role. A gastronomic restaurant’s design and aesthetics are all about creating an environment where you can savour every bite and sip in style. Pair all of this with a curated wine list that complements the menu, and you’ve found a place that elevates dining to an art form.

The Riddler effortlessly checks all the boxes of a gastronomic destination - with its own unique twist.
