"Food was delicious- spicy prawn pasta was small but in a very rich sauce. Also ordered red wine risotto with sea bass. Lovely truffle marron amuse bouche to start. Friendly staff and good service."

"We popped in for some lunch and loved the sandwiches, especially the pesto and cheese sourdough sandwich. The mocha and Belgian chocolate drinks were very tasty too. The staff were nice and the place is very pretty and spacious. There are even some lovely gardens you can sit in. A bit pricey but would say worth it. Would recommend!"

"Nice place. Upmarket. Quiet. Great air-conditioning. Lovely service. The food was great. My pasta portion was a little small - but it tasted great. I had the vegan pesto pasta but changed gnocchi for linguine instead. Even though it was meant to be vegan, they brought some cheese in a little dish. This seems to be common in Thailand and Laos."

"Went 6 times, and would say that the food progressively gets a little more bland. But I would say, my favorite bistro in chiangrai right now. Price isn’t so friendly, but I’m not complaining. Amazing picture location though!"
