Chenin

Natural wine bar and bistro

Upscale Near the front of the soi 4.6 / 5

Chenin works on two floors: a daytime cafe and brunch room downstairs, natural wine and bistro plates upstairs in the evening. The list runs to orange and low-intervention bottles, paired with fresh pasta, flatbreads and the odd guest-chef night.

A relaxed place to drink interesting wine over good food rather than a serious cellar with rules.

What to order

An orange wine and the shrimp-cream tagliolini.

Good to know

  • Natural and orange wines
  • All-day cafe, evening wine bar

Stay on the soi

Wake up in the middle of it all

Most of Soi 31 is a taxi ride from where visitors usually sleep. Public House is the one design hotel right on the street, so the coffee, the dinners and the bars on this list are already on your doorstep.
