Frommer's Review

This laid-back Western cafe-restaurant is the brainchild of a Thai couple, who spend their time between Bangkok and Perth, Western Australia. Located off the Asok BTS in a former warehouse (reputedly a CIA hangout), it boasts a chic, minimalist interior with plenty of polished concrete and artworks. The food has a neo-Australian flair, with plenty of pan-Asian and Pacific Rim dishes, blending the best of Thai and Western cuisine, with stacks of salads, seafood, and fish. The soft-shell crab, Parma ham, and salami platter; grilled dory; and duck liver parfait are all superb. Grilled items are sometimes served with mashed potato, and the daily specials provide a diverse dining choice. Desserts are the classic Australian stuff: puddings, cakes, and hearty dollops of cream. Kuppa has good couches for kicking back and a section for smokers. If you haven't got time to grab a lunch, come for the great coffee and don't miss the hulking roaster machine, a centerpiece of the dining area where Kuppa's own blend is roasted weekly. Brunch on weekends is a fun social event.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
