Food by Fire

Perched on the 27th floor of the Ad Lib Hotel on Sri Chan Road, Food by Fire brings an elevated dining concept to Khon Kaen's culinary scene. The restaurant centres its menu around live-fire cooking techniques, making flame and smoke central to both the flavour and the theatre of the meal. Floor-to-ceiling views over the city provide a dramatic backdrop that distinguishes this from the typical dining options found in the region. Guests can expect a refined atmosphere that suits both special occasions and leisurely evening meals. The open kitchen style and fire-forward cooking approach create a sense of occasion, while the setting atop one of the city's tallest hotels gives the room a striking, contemporary feel. As a luxury-tier venue, the menu and service are pitched accordingly, making it a natural choice for travellers looking to treat themselves during a stay in northeastern Thailand. Food by Fire opens Wednesday through Sunday from 17:00 to 23:00 and is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Given the intimate scale of a 27th-floor restaurant and its growing reputation, making a reservation in advance is strongly advisable, particularly on weekends. Smart casual or smarter attire is appropriate given the setting and price point. The restaurant is accessed through the Ad Lib Hotel lobby at 999 Sri Chan Road.
