The View Rooftop Bar Launches Mediterranean Concept

The View Rooftop Bar on Bangkok's Novotel Platinum has relaunched with an authentic Mediterranean concept, featuring Greek cuisine from chef Christos Karageorgiou and signature cocktails with live music and DJ sets overlooking the city skyl

27 Dec Coconuts Bangkok

Love the beach but want to stay in the chaotic Bangkok city? And who doesn’t enjoy panoramic views while sipping on cocktails? Well, The View Rooftop Bar on the 9th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam mall has transformed itself into what their staff call a “Mediterranean Haven,” with a revamp to accommodate Mediterranean cuisine with some beachy vibes.

Gone are the bean bags and infinity pool – now you can enjoy their brand new cuisine while marveling at Bangkok’s beautiful skyline and sunset with a DJ and live music. The bar now includes not just a place to dine but also space to dance to the music.

The View prides itself with a brand new authentic menu, led by their experienced Greek chef Christos “Titos” Karageorgiou, who brings his rich culinary heritage to the heart of Bangkok.

So what is there to eat? No need for fancy cutlery here, just grab-and-go goodness that tickles every taste bud.

Skip the fork and embrace the primal pleasure of succulent beef tartar and pita cracker. Each bite explodes against the sturdy crunch of the toasty cracker. Primal heaven without the fuss.

Dive in, let the coolness refresh, and savor the tangy whispers of Greece with the bar Greek salad gazpacho and feta cream.

Our personal favorite is the falafel and hummus, a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. Embrace the warmth of their golden falafels while dipping them in the creamy hummus.

Or how about the fiery tango of saganaki cheese and sweet heat tomato chili jam? Or sample a taste of Moroccan streets with their Kormos delicacy.

There are also live stations on hand, including Mediterranean sea bass and sirloin with bell pepper cream and salsa verde.

After enjoying all of the bites, wind down with their desserts, particularly the citrusy oasis of the orange pie and Greek yogurt.

Once you’re done savoring all the unique flavors the bar has to offer, cool yourself with some of their signature cocktails – two of which are gin-based and one vodka-based.

For gin lovers, taste a burst of sunshine with the Sevilla Sun-Drenched. Or, for a little more of an adventurous kick, why not be enthralled with their Charm of Marrakech with its mix of Gin Mare and vermouth?

The vodka-based cocktail, Saint Tropez Breeze, is not to be skipped either, as it offers a quick refreshing escape from the summer heat.

The View is also cranking up the vibes with live music. A resident DJ is on hand to provide groovy ethno house beats alongside live performances, including a violin accompaniment to the dance music.
