Booking tips
- Set-menu lunches are the cheapest way into an expensive restaurant. Pa Pa Ya costs half at lunch what it does at dinner.
- Avoid rooftop bookings from June to September. The monsoon closes most open-air seating.
- BKC restaurants fill up on weeknights because of the offices around them, so weekends can be easier to book.
