Iris & Wild Iris – Rooftop Bar & Restaurant
A Riviera Inspired Above the City
Iris & Wild Iris – Rooftop Bar & Restaurant at SO/ Bangkok presents a Riviera-inspired destination above the city, unfolding across the 29th and 30th floors overlooking Lumphini Park.
The venue integrates three connected environments: Iris, an elegant glass-house dining room on the 29th floor; Iris Terrace, an open-air terrace on the 30th floor with panoramic park views; and Wild Iris, a rooftop bar on the 29th floor that transitions the atmosphere from sunset Aperitivo to late-night celebration with curated DJ sets.
Under the direction of Italian-trained Sicilian chef Enrico Pantorno, the culinary concept centres on contemporary Southern Italian cuisine — citrus-bright, ingredient-led plates, crudo-style seafood and handcrafted pasta designed for sharing. The bar programme draws inspiration from Southern European aperitivo culture, featuring botanical, citrus and bittersweet cocktails. Soft curves, warm textures and layered lighting guide guests through a fluid progression from refined dining to vibrant nightlife, creating an elevated rooftop experience defined by Italian Riviera elegance, skyline views and a seamless evolution from dinner to celebration above Bangkok.
More than a rooftop, Iris & Wild Iris unfolds as a seamless narrative in three expressions.
Iris is the dining expression — composed, intimate and ingredient-led, set within an elegant glass-house dining room.
Iris Terrace extends the experience outdoors, where sunset light meets panoramic views of Lumphini Park and Italian plates are enjoyed in open-air elegance. As the tempo gently rises, Wild Iris emerges — a rooftop bar alive with curated cocktails, live DJ sets and a confident shift in energy.
Together, they form one fluid journey — from refined dining to terrace aperitivo and finally into celebration above the skyline.
At the helm is an Italian-trained culinary team led by Chef Enrico Pantorno. A Sicilian chef whose career spans Europe and Asia, Enrico was born and raised in Sicily, where his cuisine was shaped by the flavours and rituals of Southern Italian family cooking — rooted in seasonality, generosity and connection.
The Culinary Direction
Having worked in the UAE, Denmark and Thailand, Enrico brings an international perspective refined by discipline and cultural exchange. His achievements include winning the Aviko Masterchef Plating competition in 2025, appearing as a winner on Iron Chef Thailand in 2020, and representing Etihad Airways as the face of its inflight chef campaign.
His philosophy balances authenticity with evolution — honouring Sicilian ingredients such as olive oil, citrus and seafood while expressing them through a contemporary lens. At the heart of his work is a simple principle: creating culinary connections that bring people together through meaningful dining experiences defined by vibrant produce and restrained elegance.
The menu celebrates citrus brightness and balanced textures — from delicately crudo-styled seafood to handcrafted pasta designed for sharing. Each plate is vibrant yet composed, intended for sociable evenings that unfold unhurriedly above the city.
This is not theatrical dining — it is Riviera dining: effortless, luminous and anchored in authenticity.
The Bar & Atmosphere
As golden hour dissolves into twilight, Wild Iris shifts the mood.The cocktail direction draws inspiration from Southern Europe — bright Aperitivo notes, botanical infusions and refined classics reimagined with contemporary precision.
Signature cocktails balance citrus, floral and bittersweet profiles
