Sirocco: A Rooftop Culinary Journey at Lebua
Book on Viator →Operated by I Asia Thailand · Bookable on Viator
Dinner with Bangkok below you changes everything. Sirocco at Lebua is a rooftop, open-air fine-dining stop on the 63rd floor where you eat under the skyline and the Chao Phraya River glow. I love the panoramic night views that make the meal feel like an event, and I also like having a choice between a 3-course set menu and a 5-course chef tasting menu. The main drawback is price: this is a premium experience, and if you’re hunting for a bargain meal, it may feel steep.
This is the kind of meal that’s built for special nights—think anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, and that one time you want to dress up a bit and slow down. The setting is famously recognizable, including the iconic golden dome and a stylish atmosphere that’s elegant but not stuffy.
A few practical notes help you plan better: drinks aren’t included, and hotel transfers aren’t included, so you’ll want to handle your own way there. The ticket is mobile, and you’ll get confirmation within 48 hours of booking (based on availability).

The Lebua Rooftop Setup: What You’re Really Paying For

Sirocco is basically “dinner with a view” done at a high level. You’re dining at the top of Lebua State Tower, and the payoff is the sightlines: Bangkok’s skyline spreads out around you, and the river is part of the scene. It’s open-air, so you’re not eating in a closed box—you’re outside enough to feel the night air, while the experience stays polished and formal.
That view is also why this experience tends to feel memorable. Even if you’ve seen Bangkok photos before, the scale hits differently when you’re looking at it from above. And because Sirocco is known for a luxe rooftop vibe (plus film and TV fame), there’s a sense of occasion the moment you arrive.
What I love about this setup: the rooftop makes the whole meal feel like a “moment,” not just a restaurant stop.
What to watch: if weather turns unpleasant, you may be moved temporarily to another restaurant inside the same hotel until it clears. That’s beyond control of the operator, and it can affect the exact rooftop feel.
Choosing Between the 3-Course Set and the 5-Course Tasting Menu

Your ticket includes either a 3-course set menu or a 5-course chef tasting menu. That choice matters more than you might think, because it changes how the evening flows and how full you’ll feel.
You can also read our reviews of more tours and experiences in Bangkok.
3-course set menu: best when you want variety without feeling rushed
The 3-course option is the easier sell for many people because it still gives you a structured, plated progression—just with fewer courses. One caution: portions for the 3-course menu may feel smaller if you’re expecting a big, heavy meal. If you’re hungry-hungry, you can still make the night work by going in ready for the experience (not a calorie quest).
5-course chef tasting menu: best for food-focused evenings
The 5-course tasting menu turns the meal into a longer “story.” You’re getting more dishes and more chances to taste the chef’s Mediterranean-inspired approach. This option fits well if you like food that evolves from course to course and you want a more complete look at the kitchen’s style.
Drinks are separate, so plan your budget
The menus are included, but drinks are available to purchase. If you’re thinking about pairing with wine (the venue has a world-class wine selection), decide ahead of time whether you want to treat drinks as part of the night—or keep it to soft drinks/one glass. Budgeting here prevents that last-minute sticker shock.
Stop 1: Sirocco on the Rooftop (The Main Event)

Sirocco is the experience—there isn’t a series of sightseeing stops. Your “itinerary” is essentially a dedicated time window in the restaurant, with the rooftop views doing the sightseeing work.
The first impression: views first, then service rhythm
When you step onto the rooftop, you get the skyline hit right away. That instantly sets expectations: this place isn’t hiding what it is. The staff then guides you into the dining rhythm, and the meal progresses course by course.
A highlight that comes up again and again in the kind of feedback this restaurant attracts is service quality—friendly, attentive, and tuned to making the evening feel smooth. One staff member is specifically mentioned by name in the feedback: Ms. Jum, noted for delivering great service. That kind of detail matters because it usually means the staff is engaged, not on autopilot.
Dining atmosphere: elegant, romantic, and star-worthy
Sirocco’s atmosphere is open-air but still refined. The goal is to give you that “dining in the sky” feeling—romantic, elegant, and designed for nighttime views. If you’re celebrating, the vibe supports it. If you’re not, it still works because the view keeps pulling your attention upward.
Weather backup is real, so don’t assume every night is identical
Even with the open-air concept, weather can change things. If it’s unpleasant, you can be moved temporarily to another restaurant in the hotel while conditions clear, with no refunds. If you’re booking for a “must be rooftop at sunset” moment, build in flexibility in your expectations.
Mediterranean Cuisine Meets Bangkok: What to Expect From the Food
The kitchen leans Mediterranean, using “fine ingredients” and building dishes that feel carefully planned. You’re not in a casual street-food setup. This is a plated, restaurant-style meal meant to feel intentional from the first course to the last.
Here’s how to approach it so you get the most value from what’s included:
- Treat the meal as part of the experience, not just fuel. The included courses are your main event.
- If you’re ordering (or planning to order) additional items, do it based on your preferences and the pace you want.
- If you have dietary needs, tell the operator when booking. Vegetarian, vegan, and halal options are mentioned as possible special requests.
Dietary needs and allergies
You can request Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, and accommodations for special occasions like birthday and anniversary. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, inform your server. That’s especially important here because Mediterranean food can include ingredients like nuts, dairy, and seafood depending on the dish.
Wine, Cocktails, and the Included vs. Extra Trap

Sirocco is paired with a world-class wine selection. But since drinks aren’t included, your final bill depends heavily on what you choose to drink.
I recommend thinking in two layers:
- The included menu value: you’re paying for the course experience plus the rooftop setting.
- The add-on layer: wine/cocktails are where the total can climb quickly.
If you want the full “luxury night out” feel, plan for a couple of drinks. If you’d rather keep costs tighter, one drink paired with the meal can still feel special without turning this into your most expensive night in Bangkok.
Dress Code Reality Check: Avoid the Wrong Outfit

One of the easiest ways to protect your night is to follow the dress code. It’s specific, and it’s there for a reason: the venue wants a certain look.
Male attire
Collared shirts like polos or button-downs are welcome, as are t-shirts. You’ll want tailored shorts, covered shoes, and loafers. Athletic wear, swimwear, sleeveless shirts for male guests, flip-flops, and beach slippers are strictly prohibited.
Female attire
Elegant tops, blouses, t-shirts, dresses, skirts, and tailored shorts of respectable length are appropriate. Pair them with dress sandals. Swimwear and flip-flops are not the vibe, and the same prohibited categories for casual athletic wear apply.
If you show up in the wrong outfit, your plans can get stalled. So pack accordingly and keep it simple.
Getting There: No Hotel Transfer Needed

This experience is near public transportation, and transfers aren’t included. That’s good news for value because you’re not paying extra just to get to the rooftop.
A practical way to handle it:
- Plan to arrive a little early so you can settle in without rushing.
- Use public transport unless your group prefers a private ride.
- Bring your mobile ticket details since it’s a mobile ticket.
Price and Value: Is $281.86 Worth It?

At $281.86 per person for about 2 hours (approx.), this isn’t a casual dining bargain. So the right question isn’t “Is it cheap?” It’s “Does it match what I want from Bangkok nights?”
Here’s how I’d judge value for your situation:
- If you want a high-view, high-design evening with a structured menu, the price can make sense. You’re paying for the rooftop setting and the included course experience.
- If you’re mainly focused on eating a lot for less money, you may feel disappointed—especially if you choose the 3-course menu and expect generous portions.
- If you’re sensitive to tourist-trap vibes, you should go in with eyes open. The experience is heavily about the view and the reputation, so it’s not trying to be low-key or budget-friendly.
A balanced takeaway: the rooftop view is the headline, the Mediterranean food is the supporting cast, and the final act is how smoothly the service runs. If those are your priorities, you’ll likely feel the value. If your priority is maximum food quantity for minimum cost, you might not.
Before You Go: Confirmation Timing and Weather Moves

After booking, confirmation will be received within 48 hours of booking, based on availability. The ticket is mobile, which reduces paper hassle.
Weather is the only wildcard mentioned. If conditions are bad, you may be moved temporarily to another restaurant in the hotel until it clears. Since the experience is non-refundable for cancellations, it helps to choose a night when you’re willing to adapt.
Should You Book Sirocco at Lebua?
Book it if:
- You want a special-occasion dinner with the kind of skyline views that feel like Bangkok from above.
- You’re happy to pay for a rooftop experience and an included menu.
- You prefer a plated dining format and can work within the dress code.
Skip it (or rethink the menu choice) if:
- You only care about food volume for the price.
- You dislike add-on spending, since drinks are not included.
- You’re booking on the strict assumption that the rooftop will be perfect no matter what weather does.
My practical call: choose Sirocco when you want the full “eat above the city” experience and you’ll treat the meal as part of the night, not just a meal replacement.
