Silver Waves Chinese Restaurant

For Chinese cuisine with a bit of romance you can't beat Silver Waves. Located on the 36th Floor of the elegant Chatrium Riverside Hotel, this refined spot has to be the most panoramic destination for a Chinese meal in town. The restaurant towers above the Chao Phraya River and diners get a bird's eye view of the river and skyline to go with their bird's nest soup. Menu standouts include the Peking duck infused with Oolong tea, served with handmade pancakes and Hoisin sauce, and the moist and tender steamed snowfish served with black bean sauce. Appetizers include cold chicken or pork flavored in Chinese wine, as well as plenty of other Chinese tapas. While the river views are staggering, foodies might want to sit at the intimate private chef's table, a small cubicle with a giant glass window looking straight into the open kitchen where a master chef will create a personalized dinner. While the emphasis is on Cantonese cuisine at Silver Waves, it does come with a modern twist, and this is certainly the place to go for that special meal high above the city.
