A rooftop dinner in Bangkok usually means one of two things: eating outdoors with the city around you, or eating indoors while the skyline sits behind the glass. At lebua at State Tower on Silom Road, both are available, and they feel quite different. Sirocco is the open-air rooftop restaurant. Mezzaluna is the fine-dining restaurant with a high-rise city view.

This page explains how the two differ, so you can decide which suits your evening before you reserve.

Sirocco: open-air rooftop dining

Sirocco is lebua’s rooftop restaurant, and its page describes rooftop Mediterranean dining with river views. Because it is a rooftop, you are outdoors rather than behind a window. The air, the light and the sound of the city are part of the meal.

This is the choice for a diner who wants the experience of being above Bangkok, not only looking at it. It suits an evening where atmosphere matters as much as the food, such as an anniversary or a first night in the city. The Chao Phraya River is the main view from here.

If you would like to see what is served, Sirocco’s menu and wine list are on the site, so we leave the details to those pages.

Mezzaluna: fine dining with a high-rise city view

Mezzaluna by lebua – An Elevated Expression of Fine Dining

Perched high above Bangkok on the 65th floor of lebua at State Tower, Mezzaluna by lebua invites guests into a world of refined gastronomy, where exceptional cuisine meets breathtaking panoramic views of the city skyline.

Within its elegant and intimate setting, every detail is thoughtfully considered, from the artistry of each dish to the grace of personalised service. As the city lights unfold beyond the windows, the evening becomes a celebration of culinary excellence, meaningful conversation and moments to savour.

Awarded two MICHELIN stars, Mezzaluna stands as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and culinary creativity. Under the direction of Chef Ryuki Kawasaki, the restaurant presents a distinctive interpretation of French haute cuisine, enriched by Japanese precision and a profound respect for the finest seasonal ingredients.

For those seeking an extraordinary dining experience in an atmosphere of understated elegance, Mezzaluna offers more than a memorable dinner. It is an invitation to slow down, connect and discover the art of fine dining above the city.

Open-air or high-rise: a quick way to decide

  • Atmosphere: Sirocco is outdoors and lively with the city around you. Mezzaluna is indoors and more composed.
  • Weather: An open-air rooftop depends on the evening. A high-rise dining room does not.
  • Occasion: Sirocco suits a memorable setting. Mezzaluna suits a formal, food-focused dinner.
  • View: Sirocco is known for its river views. Mezzaluna looks out over the city from a high floor.

Neither is the better choice in general. It depends on whether you want the open sky or a quiet table.

Timing your dinner around sunset

For many guests, the appeal of a rooftop dinner is the change in light as day becomes night. If that is what you are after, think about reserving a table that lets you arrive while there is still daylight, so you can watch the city shift. Sunset time changes through the year, so it is worth checking the time for your date when you plan.

At Sirocco, an earlier arrival means more of the open-air view in daylight. At Mezzaluna, the same idea applies through the windows, with the added comfort of being indoors if the weather turns.
