Bangkok’s skyline will soon welcome EA Rooftop at The Empire, the city’s largest and highest food and beverage destination, opening on September 18. Spanning six floors, including an expansive rooftop, EA Rooftop embodies the theme, “Celebrating The World’s Newest Horizon”, promising a striking 360-degree view of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River.
Positioned as the centrepiece of The Empire in Sathon, this flagship F&B destination by AWC covers an impressive 10,000m², with 2,500m² dedicated to an open-air rooftop space. It brings together a significant collection of high-end restaurants, cafes, and bars under one roof, offering a comprehensive experience of dining and entertainment.
A social space designed for dining and gathering, the EA Gallery offers a selection of restaurants and cafes under the concept of “Eat, Meet, Experience.” Visitors can enjoy some of the city’s most spectacular views while sampling notable venues like the world’s highest %Arabica store, 手 qraft, a multifunctional oriental brunch and bakery spot, Onggi, a Korean fine-dining experience, and Invitation Only, a speakeasy bar reminiscent of the 1990s.
This level is dedicated to an exclusive dining experience curated by acclaimed chefs from around the globe. Highlights include Le Du Kaan, a modern Thai concept from Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, K by Vicky Cheng, a Chinese restaurant helmed by Hong Kong’s Chef Vicky Cheng, and Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo, an Italian eatery by the Argentinian-born Chef Paulo Airaudo.
As Bangkok’s first rooftop Thai restaurant, Le Du Kaan blends modern Thai cuisine with an immersive dining narrative. The restaurant showcases fresh, locally sourced ingredients from Thai farmers and fishermen, with an emphasis on connecting diners to the country’s rich landscape and culture. Divided into multiple dining zones, Le Du Kaan features a casual restaurant space, a stylish indoor bar, and a vast outdoor terrace.
Speaking about the project, Chef Ton noted that the restaurant seats about 280 guests, with more than half enjoying views from the terrace. “We didn’t want to replicate Le Du in name or menu,” said Chef Ton, adding that Le Du Kaan retains the same philosophy but offers its own distinct identity. Dishes are divided into snacks, appetisers, mains, and desserts, with prices starting from B290++.
This marks the first international venture for Chef Vicky Cheng, known for his creative fusion of Chinese cuisine and French techniques. At K by Vicky Cheng, the concept is built around the 24 solar terms from ancient Chinese wisdom, with seasonal ingredients driving the menu’s direction.
Renowned for his contemporary take on classic Italian dishes, Chef Paulo Airaudo brings his signature flair to Bangkok with Sartoria. The restaurant offers a menu that emphasises locally sourced seasonal ingredients and features an open kitchen, allowing diners to observe the culinary process.
EA Rooftop promises to be a destination that pushes the boundaries of Bangkok’s dining scene, offering a variety of unique concepts within one expansive space. EA Rooftop at The Empire is located at 168 Sathon Road.
