You find Chenin on the ground floor first with brunch and coffee until 4 PM, then the restaurant and wine bar take over upstairs for dinner. The wine list runs more than 100 labels anchored in natural producers from France, Italy, and Japan. Lead with the Cheese City flatbread or the Grilled Branzino with habanero salsa, and ask the staff for a wine match.

You reach Chenin at 29/4 Sukhumvit Soi 31 in the Khlong Tan Nuea area of Watthana, a neighbourhood well served by BTS Phrom Phong with motorbike taxi access into the soi. Valet parking is available at the adjacent OFTR Bar.

The name pays direct homage to one of the world's most recognised white wine grapes, and the wine program follows that lead. Chenin holds a White Star designation from Star Wine List, placing it among Bangkok's recognized natural wine destinations. The list runs more than 100 labels, weighted toward natural producers, with affordable entry points alongside prestige options. Bottles span family-owned French and Italian vineyards to more unconventional Japanese producers, giving both casual wine drinkers and serious collectors a reason to explore the list. Staff are trained to make recommendations.

The format splits across floors. The ground floor runs an all-day cafe offering brunch and coffee until 4 PM. Dinner moves upstairs to the restaurant and wine bar. On the fourth floor, a weekly rotating guest chef program brings in omakase-style tasting menus, making the kitchen a venue for culinary collaborations that change on a regular basis.

The menu is concise and rotates based on available seasonal ingredients. Core items include fresh pastas, flatbreads baked in a Neapolitan style, and proteins sourced and prepared with care. Signature flatbreads include the Cheese City, built with Parmesan, and the Green Velvet, featuring parsley and garlic. The Grilled Branzino comes with habanero salsa, and the Lasagna Verde rounds out the heartier options. Lighter starters include warm olives and focaccia.

On the drinks side, options beyond wine include a sparkling Macabeo blend. Weekday dinner hours run from 5 PM to midnight. Weekend hours extend to include the lunch service from 11 AM to midnight, giving you a full afternoon window on Saturdays and Sundays.
