About this tour
When Lily from our BugBitten team booked a table at Sirocco, she stepped into Bangkok's most talked-about rooftop dining scene — perched 63 storeys up on the Lebua State Tower. The restaurant sprawls across an open-air deck with a signature golden dome, commanding views of the Chao Phraya River and the city lights stretching to the horizon. It's slick, formal, and packed with well-heeled diners marking anniversaries and special moments. The kitchen slings Mediterranean fare through a 5-course tasting menu or 3-course set, backed by a serious wine list. Duration runs roughly 2 hours, though lingering over cocktails easily stretches that longer.
Highlights
- Panoramic 63rd-floor views of Bangkok skyline and river at dusk
- Open-air golden dome setting — architectural statement piece
- Mediterranean tasting menu showcasing seasonal, premium ingredients
- World-class wine pairings curated by knowledgeable sommeliers
- Attentive service reads the table without hovering
- Caters to dietary needs — vegetarian, vegan, halal all accommodated
- Special occasion energy without feeling stuffy or pretentious
What to expect
Arriving early pays off — grab a spot at the edge of the deck and watch Bangkok shift from afternoon to twilight. The 5-course tasting menu unfolds slowly, each plate arriving with timing that feels unhurried. You're eating Mediterranean cuisine that lands genuinely well-executed, not just expensive window-dressing. Wines are offered by the glass or bottle, and staff chat through options without pushiness. The dress code is enforced (no athletic wear, flip-flops, or sleeveless tees for blokes), so plan accordingly.
The setting is undeniably the main event — that view justifies the splurge. Crowds skew towards couples and small groups marking milestones. Service is polished and reads the room; they'll remember if you've mentioned a birthday. Weather is the wildcard: if it's foul, you'll be moved to another restaurant in the hotel (no refunds), so check the forecast. Overall, it's a genuinely good night out rather than a gimmick.

Good to know
This is one of Bangkok's genuine fine-dining experiences, not just hype. The view alone makes it worth a visit once; the food backs it up. Staff handle dietary requests smoothly, and special occasions get subtle recognition without theatrics. You can dress smart-casual and still fit in.
Drinks aren't included — wine and cocktails add serious money on top. The dress code is strict, so no casual sneakers or beachy vibes. If weather turns, you're bumped indoors with no refund (frustrating if the view was your main draw). It books up well ahead, especially weekends and peak tourist seasons. Some nationalities can't buy online and must pay at the venue, which can complicate planning.
Budget for meals plus a full drinks spend if you're keen on wine. Allow 2–3 hours including arrival. Get there just before sunset to catch the light show. Public transport gets you there (BTS and MRT nearby), but taxis and apps are easier with a dress-up dinner. Inform staff upfront of allergies, dietary preferences, or celebrations.
