But apart from shopping, today we will be uncovering the top 10 restaurants that you shouldn’t miss out on in Gurney Paragon Mall.
10 Restaurants You Have To Try When You’re Visiting Gurney Paragon Mall
1. Arakawa Japanese Gastro & Bar
When it comes to a classic Japanese restaurant that serves hand-crafted sushi and traditional donburi dishes, there are only a few places in town that have them.

If there is a quiet spot to talk gossips with your friends, then it’s got to be Brown Pocket. Hidden on the 6th floor, Brown Pocket is a great hideaway spot to read a book or listen to soft music.
