Ms.Jigger — Restaurant in Lumphini Subdistrict

I came to Ms. Jigger at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok for a leisurely lunch, and what I found was far more than a hotel restaurant—it’s a chic, effortlessly stylish Italian gem tucked within one of Bangkok’s trendiest urban enclaves.

From the moment I stepped in, I was drawn to the space. It’s elegant but unpretentious, with a modern European soul—warm wood tones, patterned tiles, a stylish bar corner, and an easy, welcoming vibe. But what really took me by surprise was the lush outdoor terrace—a green escape in the middle of the city, with views of trees, landscaped gardens, and open skies. It felt like a secret garden meets Milanese café, and it added so much charm to the overall dining experience.

The service? Flawless. The team was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful—friendly without being too formal, which perfectly matches the Kimpton philosophy.

Now let’s talk food. I came for the Italian flavors, and every dish I tried brought a beautiful blend of comfort and creativity:

✨ Arancini Funghi e Tartufo – Crispy golden risotto balls filled with earthy wild mushrooms and zesty black truffle, balanced by the creamy notes of parmesan. These were addictive—crunchy outside, soft and deeply savory inside. A must-order starter.

✨ Parmigiana di Melanzane – A classic done beautifully. Layers of soft, roasted eggplant with tangy tomato fondue, fragrant basil pesto, and gooey cheese—a heartwarming dish with bold flavor, yet still delicate and light.

✨ Gnocchi Gorgonzola e Speck – This one was indulgent and absolutely delicious. The gnocchi had that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture, tossed in a gorgeous pink gorgonzola sauce that was creamy but not overpowering. The speck ham added a savory, smoky touch, balancing everything perfectly.

✨ Pizza Diavola – Spicy, bold, and satisfying. Topped with spianata calabra salami, fresh buffalo mozzarella, and a hit of chili, this pizza had that wonderful balance of heat and richness without going overboard. The crust? Thin, crisp on the edges, and soft in the center—everything you'd want from a good pizza.

Lunch at Ms. Jigger isn’t just about food—it’s about setting, mood, and intention. It’s a place where you can linger, sip wine, enjoy conversation, and savor bites that feel both elevated and comforting. Whether you're looking for a cozy lunch with friends or a stylish spot to impress a guest, this place hits all the right notes.

Tucked into the beautiful Kimpton Maa-Lai, it’s also conveniently located just steps away from Langsuan and the surrounding green spaces—yet it feels like a world of its own. I’ll definitely be back, maybe for dinner next time, or just to enjoy a spritz on that...

Service was average and wish to focus more on details for the price I paid for.

I went for the dinner with friends on Saturday night. My friend stayed in the hotel.

We need to ask service cutleries even I said we all shared during the order taking. We also need to ask to top up the wine. Food comes on time with timely manner which was good.

Again we order seafoods pasta but additonal bowl for shells needs to ask again.

Menu for the dessert to order needs to ask again as well as the Bill. When we they get busy the service level droped a big time. I can see two people in burgendy suite are rarher busy to set up for following day or stroll for nothing but not the guest on the floor to look after.

Finally I have aksed Italian gentleman in the bugundy suit to check whether the rooft top is busy or not he said yes to check but never come back to say anything or dont bother to come back to share and ignore me and walk away when I try to mKe eye contact to get attention. I feel he seems careless which was very interesting to see how the restaurant considers the guest request.

I am unsure whether I come back. Plus, please consider to take your date if you want to impress her or him. They also allow baby- around 2-3 years to dine. Kids can play kids toy keeping making the noise and cry or scream. Also the staff seems okay for that as I dont see any approach to...
