"At the end of a quiet soi off busy Ploenchit Road, Rioja offers a rustic, family-like ambience at the front and a more formal but cosy setting in the bodega at the back...The only Spanish restaurant in town serves specialities from all around Spain, prepared by a Thai chef who was trained by co-founder and chef Fernando Andres Yusta..."

Naphalai Areesorn, Thailand Tatler - January 2007

"Tucked in a small lane off busy Ploenchit Road, Rioja is located in a rowhouse with wrought-iron over the windows. Outdoor seating is available in the courtyard out front, while inside the decor is warm and rustic. The only Spanish restaurant in town offers specialities from the Iberian peninsula prepared by a talented Thai chef. Good service by knowledgeable, courteous waiters adds to the pleasure of the meal."

Naphalai Areesorn, Thailand Tatler - January 2006

"Classy and consistent, Spanish eatery Rioja comes as close to the essence of Spanish good living as you’ll come in Bangkok. Rioja’s sophisticated but also homey and a little camp. Named after Spain’s wine country, the restaurant’s cellar takes up almost half the space. Start with the tabla de Ibericos, a platter of salted pork loin cuts and chorizo eaten with delicious, home-baked crumbly bread. Also don’t miss the paella de marisco, snowfish with scallops and prawns in black sauce or the grilled Australian veal chops. Save room for the heavenly dessert platter."

NA, The Nation - December 2005

"The menu here is extensive and interesting with enough tapas style dishes, alas served in slightly too large a portion if you are a couple. A party of four or more could have a really varied and interesting meal. There is a tapas plate that we started with, and this has five different items for two people. It was good but barely touched the sides, so as soon as it appeared I ordered a tortilla, and then some garlic prawns which went together very well.

I very pleasant meal and well worth the effort to find the place. As I have said before, it is always good to find somewhere one can get some genuinely different food. Rioja is one such place."

Sam Worthington, Sam Worthington A restaurant reviewer at large! - June 2005

"Bangkok's only authentic Spanish restaurant offers fine Iberico ham from the famous black pig, shrimp carpaccio on sour cream with salmon roe, Rioja-style oxtail stew, and an exceptional seafood paella."

Howard Richardson, Insight City Guide ---- Bangkok - January 2005

"Authentic Spanish cuisine is often difficult to find as it is dwarfed by the other European favorites, French and Italian. However, a new restaurant, Rioja, has opened under the direction of native Spaniard Chef Fernando Andres Yusta and fills that niche in the local dining scene."

Vanniya Sriangura, Bangkok Post - January 2003
