*A hidden gem worthy of a Michelin Star!* Where do I even begin? The first time we came here, we were in a rush and just wanted a quick bite. We were served immediately, and the food arrived in no time. Even taking the leftovers with us was no problem at all — everything was handled with ease and a smile. The second time we tried the honey prawns and the pork with pineapple in sweet and sour sauce — honestly, some of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted in my life. The cocktails are crafted with just as much care and attention to detail. The interior is elegant yet calming, making it the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. The manager is genuinely kind, and he takes real pride in explaining the dishes and cocktails — something that makes the whole experience even more memorable. Prices are on the higher end for Thailand, but for a European they feel very reasonable — and given the quality, it’s an absolute bargain. We’ve already been here twice, and we’ll definitely be coming back. A truly unforgettable dining experience!

The owner is amazing. He is very friendly. I just met him in one of his dispensaries and we talked a bit. But him and his wife prepared everything for my proposal. The food is super awesome and a good value for the money. Their Mango Sticky Rice cocktail is a must-try! Plus the chicken pad thai!

Great food! The waiters were super nice and Nigel as well! The cocktails are on point and I think you’ll enjoy it

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
