Sirocco Restaurant on top of State Tower






The restaurant first opened in the winter of 2003 and in some respects Sirocco revived the Bangkok dining scene in several ways. As the first of the Dome's venues, it generated a lot of buzz simply because so many people were curious to finally see the view from the city's second tallest building, and its highest outdoor balcony.


What they found when they arrived took their breath away in ways they did not expect. Jutting into the city skyline like the deck of a flying ship, Sirocco was its own sparkling vista of soft light and clean lines, capped by the entrancing glow of the Sky Bar . But the real revelation was the food and the jazz, and Sirocco's stunning atmosphere is meant only to complement its excellent cuisine, not replace it.


And very good the food is too. The Chef has put together a refined and accessible menu of Mediterranean starters and entrees which is constantly being updated. But the intent was that Sirocco would become one of Bangkok 's best live jazz venues too, featuring the vocal styling of international performers six nights a week. And they are well on the way to achieving that ambitious goal.


Location
Address: 1055 Silom Road, Bangrak, Bangkok 10500. There are two entrances to the building and plenty of free parking.
