The Peak Wine & Grill
Perched on the 10th floor of what appears to be the Riverie hotel complex, The Peak Wine & Grill offers something genuinely rare in Chiang Rai: an elevated rooftop setting with sweeping sunset views over the city. The combination of an open-air bar atmosphere, attentive service, and a well-stocked wine list makes it a standout evening destination for travellers looking to wind down in style after a day of exploring the region.
The venue leans Western in its food offering, with a menu centred on grilled meats including tenderloin steak and braised pork dishes, alongside salads and sides. Visitor experiences with the food are mixed, with some meals landing better than others, though the bread, sides, and house red wine draw consistent praise for their value. The cocktails are described as competent rather than exceptional, but the sunset views consistently draw visitors back regardless. Staff are frequently noted as friendly and attentive, and the venue itself is well-maintained.

Reviews from Google
We came here on recommendation to watch the sunset and have a drink and we were so glad. The 10th floor bar of this golf club-like institution has a relaxed vibe and the cocktails from 6pm to 7pm (I think) are great value under 200 BT each. Good service and well worth a visit. The evening menu looked nice too but I am unable to comment on the food as we had already booked somewhere else.
Phenomenal view. The view makes up for the cocktails, which were fine. For happy hour they were a reasonable price too. Free nuts! Very friendly service. We walked from the town, which was a bit of a stroll and then through the hotel grounds, but easily manageable. Not busy, there were only about 8 or 9 people up there at sunset, which was gorgeous, so felt very relaxed.
The tenderloin steak was just ok. The sauces were very bland. The braised pork was tough like it was rushed. The salad was good enough and house red wine was surprisingly good for the price. A lot of empty tables but food still took an hour. I’ve worked in restaurants before and 1 hour is completely unacceptable. Rooftop atmosphere is nice but the interior side needs an update.

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.
