Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away on Soi Anantachai in the heart of Phimai's old town, this café offers a welcoming stop for travelers exploring the famous Phimai Historical Park and the surrounding area. With a strong local following and consistently positive feedback, it draws both residents and visitors looking for a comfortable place to eat, drink, and unwind after a day of sightseeing.

Guests can expect a relaxed café atmosphere with mid-range pricing, making it a practical choice for those who want something more than a street stall without stretching the budget. The setting suits leisurely meals as well as casual drinks, and the extended evening hours mean it works equally well as a lunch stop or a place to wind down later in the day.

On Sundays, the café stays open until midnight, making it one of the later options in the area for an evening out. For the rest of the week, hours run from 11:00 to 22:00. Visitors traveling through Phimai on a weekend will find it particularly convenient. The Facebook page listed on the website is the best place to check for any updates to the menu or seasonal changes before visiting.

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.
