Where to eat lunch today ......

[stament]

Morning all,

 

I'm meeting a friend for lunch today in the old town area and he would prefer western food and I am seeking some inspiration of where to go lol.

 

Last time we went to Gekko garden and that is an option for today but I wondered if there were any other recommendations from TV members on here.

 

Thanks

That really narrows it down.  Let's look at Trip Advisor.

And this topic from a 13+ year member.  Two guys can’t figure out where to eat lunch!

 

Glad to be out of town today.

Thought it might also be a light-hearted way to start the day lol.

 

Now where are those best burger threads.....

Stay with Gekko and take home some of the ham and mature cheddar, enjoy.

Gekko wolf fish looking the favourite at present. Had it before and tasted much better than the normal Thai fish that is served in a lot of places.

You read my mind, was going to get some cheddar from there regardless of where we lunch.

Garibaldi's is a good western restaurant, but more Nimman way.

[fangless]

Tuskers, UN Irish, Mad Dog, Welcome Inn, Red Lion, O.Malleys to name a few.

Pork burger from 7-11   find a cutie to heat it up for u.....careful as its usually 445 degrees.....25 baht

La Terrasse, best to order the Dorade or Sea Bream.

In Central there is a good western restaurant, opposite Uniqlo.

Absolute best restaurant in town is Why Not?  Niman soi 11.

Best for dinner though.

You are only allowed into the Gekko bar if you have tattoos, a shaved head , a complexion like an old leather bicycle seat and a wonky nose due to too many bar fights .

  Sandals, cargo shorts and a polo t-shirt are the the dress codes

french garden at mahidol rd end of chiang mai land. very good food and ambience

nobody like that there last night (incl me!) when I enjoyed Beef Stroganoff- and restocked the freezer with Cumberland sausages and bacon. Maybe lunch times are different....

Are they still open? The last few times I walked by they seemed closed.

I always like the Khualek Cafe, across the road from Rimping by the Iron bridge.

Perfect river setting, reasonably priced (not cheap) food.

Eaten here loads of times as it's local and never a complaint.

 

Sunisa's Bistro on Thapae Soi 6 is well worth a look if in the area.

When I am in town I do not get to sightsee much because my attention is on the road activity.

 

Please tell me if that blue-green large building is real or photo shopped.  I have limited memory but can not recall such a colorful building there or even one quite like that.  Diamond Hotel?

 

Thank you.
