    The overall ambiance is absolutely lovely. Designed in a cozy bistro style, the place tastes elegant and refined. The service was warm and attentive throughout my meal. What surprised me most was the exquisite presentation of every dish. I ordered chicken leg, which came with extremely delicate plating. The dessert portion was surprisingly generous too. I had a fantastic dining experience here. I will definitely come back again.

    I recently dined at Luma Bangkok and had a very enjoyable Spanish dining experience. The restaurant is led by Chef Pepe Dasí Jiménez from Valencia, and the menu reflects authentic Spanish techniques paired with carefully sourced premium ingredients, including high-quality Ibérico selections and fresh seafood. Here are some of the dishes we tried: • Paella del Senyoret (~¥7,200 / €45 equivalent) Aromatic saffron rice with well-balanced seafood flavours. Comforting yet refined. • Pescado a la Donostiarra (~¥6,900 / €43 equivalent) Spanish seabass prepared in classic Basque style. The fish was perfectly cooked and delicately seasoned. • Croquetas de Jamón Ibérico (~¥1,600 / €10 equivalent) Crisp on the outside, creamy inside — easily one of our favourite dishes of the evening. • Esgarraet (~¥1,400 / €9 equivalent) A surprisingly memorable vegetable dish with smoky depth and natural sweetness. Desserts were also a highlight: • Flan de Calabaza (~¥1,300 / €8 equivalent) The caramelised pumpkin seeds added excellent texture and balance. • Torrija (~¥1,600 / €10 equivalent) Rich, indulgent, and beautifully nostalgic. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, making it suitable for both special occasions and casual gatherings. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Overall, Luma Bangkok offers a well-executed and authentic Spanish dining experience in Bangkok. Reservations are recommended.

    Luma Bangkok is definitely worth a visit ! The paella is outstanding—juicy, flavorful, and easily one of the best I’ve had in Bangkok. Every bite was packed with rich seafood flavor and perfectly cooked rice. ❤️ The steak was good but fairly average compared to the other dishes. It was cooked well, but it’s not something I’d specifically come back for. What really elevated the experience was the service. The staff were extremely attentive, welcoming, and friendly throughout the meal. They were also great at taking photos, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, come for the paella, enjoy the warm hospitality, and you’ll likely leave impressed. 🫶🏻

    Advance booking recommended esp for bigger group. A traditional Spanish food with the vibe! I really liked their paella, grilled baby octopus, and fried japaleno. Not a huge selection of wine but the one we had was also great. Seating and decorations are adorable.

    I had expected more, so I’m giving this place 4 stars. Food: 7/10 – Some dishes were very good, while others were just average. Service: 5/10 – Lacking attention to detail and more in line with a second-tier restaurant. Atmosphere: 9/10 – Elegant interior with a luxurious feel. As for the food, the steak and croquettes were excellent, while most of the other dishes were average. I didn’t order the paella after reading other reviewers’ comments. The Iberico ham was sliced quite thick and had a strong fermented aroma, making it something people will either love or hate. The turbot fish, despite costing even more than the steak (3,800 baht), lacked impact and was disappointing. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the Basque cheesecake was excellent. I was pleased to find Sierra Nevada beer on the menu, and the wine selection was also impressive. Even bottles in the 2,000-baht range were well chosen and offered good value. The wine glasses used were of high quality, which I appreciated. The biggest issue was the service. There was very little attention paid to the tables. Empty wine glasses went unnoticed, and whenever we wanted to order something, there was rarely anyone around. The staff seemed constantly rushing around, making them difficult to catch, and they gave off an atmosphere that made it hard to ask for anything. The food was also slow to arrive. Two members of our group was celebrating a birthday, and we had hoped for something a little special. Unfortunately, they simply placed a candle on the cheesecake without any presentation or celebration, which was disappointing. I visited the restaurant to see whether it would be suitable for company dinners, but based on this experience, I don’t think I would choose it for that purpose.
