So, which restaurants are the best in Ubon?

 

- 300 Grams Butcher and Restaurant is the place to go for a really good steak or beef Wellington.

 

- Sapori, of course, is the only authentic Italian (actual Italian chef/owner)

 

- So Rich is okay for a variety of things.

 

- Peppers Bakery does a good apple pie and the "chunky beef pie" is good (the other beef pie is odd tasting).

 

-Ochinei for a great Japanese buffet 

 

Where else is good?

Spego's ?

Outside Inn (for Tex Mex)?

Ricco Cafe has a wide range of Thai and Western food. Great atmosphere. I recently enjoyed dinner at the new Centara hotel restaurant. Sapori's cold cuts are always good. Risotto has consistently served good Italian food for over 20 years. Papillo House is good for lunch. For Vietamese food, I enjoy VT restaurant. For quick Japanese food, Fuji in Central Plaza never disappoints. The range of good restarants in Ubon is endless. Venezia has good food presentation. 

Kao Hom for good authentic Indian (best Samosas I've ever tasted .. bar none!!)

Peppers makes their own Italian sausage which they use in several menu items. As an American it is spot on perfect. I've also bought the sausages to bring home to make a pasta sauce.

I guess you mean authentic British Indian restaurant food, as apposed to authentic Indian food?

In what way?

 

The only difference really is that in India they mostly eat vegetarian curries. And their curries are rarely very hot

 

Whereas, in Britain it's mostly meat curries and menu items like Madras or Vindaloo will blow the ass off you (unlike in India).

Exactly my point.

 

Although there is more to it. More spice blends and flavours, more textures and varieties of ingredients.

 

Having been to India and having eaten in British Indian restaurants, if Kao Hom is authentic Indian food, I would make the trip. If it is authentic British Indian restaurant food I wouldn't. I can easily replicate those dishes at home.

 

Not forgetting newly opened "Big Ubon Breakfasts" near the airport. Open 06:00 thru 11:00 daily except Saturdays.

Are there many new restaurants in Ubon now?

 

It's been a while since I visited. I heard it has developed a lot more.

 

Has Ubon changed much in, say, the last 5 years?

 

I think Isaan cities are maybe the fastest changing places in Thailand. 

 

I know Khon Kaen has changed a lot since I last lived there.
