Terrace Bar & Cuisine Restaurant

3.5(441 reviews)

Situated on Prapokklao Road just outside the walls of Chiang Mai's Old City, this terrace restaurant draws a mix of tourists and locals looking for a relaxed meal without the noise of the city's busier dining strips. The venue operates as both a restaurant and a casual social space, with an elevated terrace setting that offers a step back from street-level activity. The Thai dishes are where the kitchen clearly excels. Reviewers single out the fried beef rice for its wok hei and the seafood salad as solid choices, and several visitors have returned for multiple meals. The menu also includes pizza, though multiple guests have found it disappointing — it is worth sticking to the Thai side of the menu for the most satisfying experience. Service is generally noted as quick and attentive. Good to know: Opening hours are not listed online, so it is worth checking social media or calling ahead before making the trip, especially for an evening visit. The Prapokklao Road location is walkable from most Old City accommodation and pairs well with a day of temple-visiting in the area. First-time visitors are better served ordering from the Thai menu rather than the Western options.

Visitor Reviews

STRONG RECOMMEND!!!WAY MUCH BETTER THAN those restaurants that influencers recommended. fried beef rice tastes really good, not too greasy, but with fully wok hei. Seafood salad also tastes good, with fresh squid,shrimps, good for the hot summer!

We ate here twice and both times food was very tasty. We enjoyed the place as well

After a long day visiting temples in Chiang Rai, we laughed pizza. Did a Google search and this came up wow high and read on our way back to the hotel. Service was quick and good only took a few minutes. While food was tasty, these were not fresh made pizza bases. Still tasty nonetheless. 4 pizzas and 4 Changs, £11 each bargain.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

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.
