Le Gourmet

“Le Gourmet” is a very up market French Tea Café on Sukhumvit Soi 33, very close to the Phlom Phong BTS Station. Before any of you say “What’s Chris doing there?” The Manager Gee is a good friend of mine. Le Gourmet must have 100’s of different teas for you to try, everything from fruit to chocolate flavoured tea. A lot of the hotels in Bangkok serve their tea in their Cafes.

The cold Jasmine tea they serve is so refreshing. They also do a good selection of coffees from around the world. There is a counter full of chocolates that you can take away, you must also try one of the many cakes that are on display. The service is very good and the price for this very good experience is reasonable.

Le Gourmet is also a good source of French, Spanish and New World Wine. Bangkok is not renowned for its abundance of wine, so this is an oasis for good wine.
