Description:
A spreading banyan tree on the edge of the garden-like grounds inspires this restaurant's name. An upscale venue that serves suppers only, Le Banyan has for years been the domain of Michel Binaux and Bruno Bischoff. The decor is warm in tone, furnished with sisal matting and white clapboard walls adorned with Thai carvings, old photos, and prints of early Bangkok. The house special is a dish for two, a Rouennaise pressed duck with goose liver; other high-end choices include lobster bisque, chateaubriand with Armagnac, or Provençal-style rack of lamb. There are daily specials and a list of fine wines. If you come on foot, you'll run the gauntlet of all the girly bars at the entrance of the soi, but ignore those until you arrive at this little upscale gem and you'll enjoy an evening of fine dining and effusive service.

I really liked this restaurant too. Food very similar to the Normandie but much lower prices. Was difficult for the taxi man to find but we got there in the end.
