About Bangkok Cafe
The Story
Bangkok Cafe opened in 2008 as a Thai family business founded by Chattip Ampunant. Operating from a small space on a quiet residential street in Les Corts for over 18 years, the restaurant has earned a devoted following among locals and expats seeking authentic Thai flavours in Barcelona.
The Cuisine
The kitchen serves authentic Thai cuisine with a full range of curries -- yellow, red, green, massaman, and Panang -- all with adjustable spice levels. Signature dishes include pad Thai, larb gai (herb-laden chicken salad), chicken satay with peanut sauce, tom yam kung, duck with pak choi, and ha kao (shrimp dumplings). Desserts include sticky rice with mango and homemade mango sorbet. A complimentary soup is offered at the start of meals. The kitchen does not dilute Thai flavours for European palates.
The Team

Bangkok Cafe Dining Experience
A small, intimate space with fewer than 10 tables and an open kitchen integrated into the dining area, reminiscent of a traditional Thai marketplace. The quiet residential street with garden entrance adds to the charm. Casual, no-frills, and focused entirely on the food.
