Sukhumvit, Bangkok
Chenin is an intimate natural wine bar and all-day bistro on Sukhumvit 31 in the Phrom Phong area, prized for its warm, romantic, and relaxed atmosphere that suits date nights, casual hangouts, and weekend brunch alike. The wine program runs deep, with more than 100 labels dominated by French and Italian producers plus interesting natural and orange wines and some finds from Japan, and the staff happily guide guests to the right bottle. The kitchen turns out fresh house-made pastas, Neapolitan-style pizzas and flatbreads, seasonal dishes, and shareable plates like warm olives, squishy focaccia, and burrata. Signature dishes include the Cheese City flatbread, tagliolini with shrimp cream sauce, grilled branzino with habanero salsa, and desserts such as baked Basque cheesecake and sticky date pudding. The room is small but buzzing, described as feeling like being at a friend's table, and a rotating calendar of weekly guest chefs and special events keeps regulars coming back. It appeals equally to seasoned wine drinkers and those simply after a good night out. The bar is reachable from Phrom Phong BTS with valet parking available at nearby OFTR Bar. Chenin has become one of the most talked-about spots in Bangkok's growing natural wine scene.
