PLEARN RESTAURANT

I’m here for my yoga retreat, and one of the big reasons I came back to this place for the third time is the food at Plearn Restaurant. Every meal is a beautifully presented three-course set, prepared with so much thought and detail. The dishes taste amazing, and the drink options — from healthy smoothies to cocktails — are always refreshing with no repeats throughout my stay. The hilltop view from the restaurant is calming and peaceful, and the classy interior makes every meal feel special. Truly one of my favourite places. Staff here is very attentive as well. Love this place so much! ✨🥗🍹

The food, flavour and presentation was incredibly delicious. Very well priced so you can easily try a few things. Dishes are based on the 4 regions of Thailand, taking you on a culinary delight throughout the country. Thae, our host, provided us with impeccable service, very warm, welcoming and attentive. And the view, absolutely stunning, what a lovely experience, we will be back again! Highly recommend.

We had the worst dining experience at Plearn. First of all, this is located in a hotel so I would expect staff to understand basic English related to ordering food, services, etc. We had to use a translator on our phones to communicate. Second, the restaurant uses a QR code for ordering (this is normally fine elsewhere) however the QR code takes you to a site that is super glitchy. Zooming in on pictures made the site reset our order to 0 and trying to add dishes to the order worked at times but at other times added it multiple times. It took us nearly 30 minutes to order because the site kept glitching out. They brought out their tablets that had photos of the dishes but you couldn’t order on it. Some of the items shown on their tablet you had to search for it on their ordering website. Overall such a frustrating process considering this is suppose to be a higher end restaurant. The wait staff didn’t want to take our order “the old fashioned way of pen and paper” either. Neither did they understand our frustrations of their very glitchy website. The food was mediocre, at best. Very, very small portions and flavors weren’t anymore unique than what you can get in the local restaurants in town for fractions of the price. Creative presentation but that doesn’t justify the price of the dishes. Their free breakfast buffet food tasted just as good (for comparison). We’ve had so many good meals in Thailand already and this was one of the worst. They charge a service fee and tax as well (fine with me) but we literally had to ask for everything, i.e another place serving set, water). For being a pricier restaurant I expected a much better experience and food quality to match the high prices. While the view from the restaurant and ambiance is lovely it’s not worth dining here.
