The brunch scene in Bangkok has been touted as “up and happening” by friends and I finally step foot onto Roast after numerous failed attempts. It is by no means a “stone’s throw away” from Thong Lor Station, I would recommend heading there in the evening though, it is a really happening district and I just wish I had more time to check Apothecreke out!
Seen
at Space is a collection of bars and eateries, pretty much like
Chijmes. Be prepared for a friendly 15 minute wait without reservations.
Roast
is a coffee-brunch-western food joint with mismatched décor. The only
table available was a low table and sofa chairs, not the most comfy
option but hunger, is not to be trifled with.
Newspaper menu.
I found some interest in the ceiling decor.
Bread and butter.

Cobb Salad
Grilled Chicken Salad and Avocado in a bowl of greens, hearty fare.
Crab cakes were hardly like crab cakes, more potato cakes in my opinion. Forgettable.
Mushroom soup with a garlicky toast - I would prefer it with a bit more starch.
Fish and mussels put together only brings one fishy test to the table - It was passable with a really robust gravy which was a pity. It had the makings of a really outstanding dish.

Burger
I
am always compelled to order a burger when I see it on the menu and
this time was no different. I love the grilled cheese spilling over, I
also love the tooth pick piercing through a moutainuos burger but it did
not work oral wonders for me. Pretty much a “is that all?”
