Conveniently located off the Sukhumvit corridor behind Emporium Mall and close to Seafood Market Restaurant up a bit, but more or less across the street. On the ground floor of the new Marriott Executive Apartments, which is self-contained with every conceivable amenity including: the Bistro M Restaurant, kitchens in each suite, tennis, squash and badminton courts, a lovely setting surrounding the pool with a conveniently adjoining bar . . . just a few steps away. On the ground floor private lounges are at the disposal of the residents. Bistro M occupies an enviable space fronting onto bustling Soi 24 and serves a wide variety of dishes to suit almost every taste, and in addition, there are frequent promotions to keep things interesting. I found that all the offerings which I sampled to be made from quality ingredients maintaining a high level of distinction across the menu, and certainly not to be overlooked, is the inherent talent from the kitchen.

MoMo Cafe, Marriot Executive Apartments, Sathorn Vista – Bangkok

Marriott Executive Apartments Tel. (66) (0) 2 343 6789, Sathorn Vista 1 Soi 3, South Sathorn Road, Thungmahamek, Sathorn, Bangkok, 10120
The MoMo Cafe is on the ground floor to the right of the main entrance to the lobby of the Marriot Executive Apartments. You may relax and have a leisurely meal while watching the hustle and bustle of activity on the circular driveway in front of the building. MoMo Cafe has a set menu and many dishes that looked fresh and very enticing as well. During the period that I visited, they were showcasing Mexican cuisine, and I had an opportunity to taste some of the selections. The dishes were certainly authentic renditions, and the chef did a good job not only on the taste side, but he managed to make them equally appealing to the eye.

Marix Tex Mex Cafe, West Hollywood – Los Angeles
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
The dining room at Marix, it really starts to heat-up around cocktail hour and into the late evening
Marix is located in West Hollywood and gets very, very busy around cocktail hour and serves excellent margaritas and other drinks along with taco chips and bowls of fresh tomatoes. It is fun to watch the scene go on, even if you are not of the same persuasion; after all this is in the heart of “boystown”.
This is their famous “kickass” margarita that really packs a punch!
Their version of quacamole is really excellent
Black beans and rice
Tacos, chile relleno and enchilada assortment
