What's A Good Place For Lunch?

[EkSiriniran]

Any restaurant suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Ek

You need to narrow this down a lot, in Chiang Mai you can eat anything from burgers and fries to fried bugs, old eggs and live shrimp (I'm sure I'm overlooking some more exotic food choices). Are your interested in any particular part of town, type of food, price range, etc.?

The Garden Restaurant - Loi Kroh

Dash - Moon Muang Soi 2

I enjoyed them anyway

Defiantly be a big help if you would give us a area of town you are looking for.

I like Amazing Sandwich across from KSG. I like Sunie next to Verachai court off of Thai Pa road or Gecko's kitty corner from the back side of the Pantip Plaza. Going to have to give the Garden Restaurant a try.

My suggestion is just walk into one and give it a try. Just because some one else says it is good doesn't mean you will like it.

Absolutely, we don't know the OP's taste and finding lunch in CM is hardly rocket science.

In addition to telling us the area, you'd like to eat in, you might want to say a few words about the type of food you'd like to eat (raw, cooked, vegan), what your budget is, what's the occasion (something special, a celebration), you in a hurry, or having a banquet with friends with hours to spare ?

I am unable to use my psychic powers on this forum any longer, so I am unable to read your mind, which is probably a blessing for both of us

You know the OP could have been just asking for your own favourites eateries irrespective of cuisine type or budget. Jeeez. 55555

Sorry to hear, about your ethereal shortness-of-breath, that's a sad loss to many on the forum, did you see it coming ?

If you are after a central place, with lots of greenery and atmosphere and you are into healthy food, then you might like to try the Tianzi Tea House. It is opposite The Imperial Mae Ping - that is the beer gardens side.

One of my favourites for an easy lunch is the Ramen Bar found here, just off Chang Klan Road. They serve Japanese noodles, curry, etc. but it is Thai run, with Thai prices (about 40 Baht for a lovely bowl of Ramen noodles). My kids love the mild Japanese style curry and the Gyoza.

Adjoining the Ramen bar is Perfect Blend coffee. You can order from them and eat at the Ramen bar; you then also get their internet access code - a delicious cheap lunch with good coffee and free internet.

I think I might regret sharing this little secret... It can only seat about 25 people!

See you there for lunch today. I'm the handsome one with thick bushy hair and a flat stomach.

Lemon Tree, Blue Diamond, Sukhothai Malee Noodles, Fujian, Burger King, MyVietnamese @ Meechok, the Jay vegan place at Chiang Mai gate and The Chedi are all great places for lunch.

Agreed. Also there is a new-ish dim sum & duck noodle restaurant on the corner there that's very nice, as far as noodle shops go.

Also I like this shop, near the Wing 41 road: http://goo.gl/maps/UU3qb The stewed beef over rice is amazing.

Great recommendations.

My money says the OP still dosen't know a good place for lunch until they walk in and try them.

i been missing some battered fries

i been missing some battered fries

Well, for that I'd choose Atlanta, Georgia, USA but even for me that's more than 3,000 miles.

Next door to Viangbua is Nu's Restaurant which is good and cheap but is Thai with some fusion Japanese and western dishes. No battered fries but I haven't seen that in CM anywhere. His hand cut fries are pretty good, not Duke's good but good - but I'd need about 5 times the size to satisfy me.

The best somtam and grilled chicken place is fairly near Viangbua too. The one with all the carved wooden furniture and is packed with Thais during lunch. Ask the Viang Bua staff to draw you a map. It's close but there are a few turns on the way.

Cafe Nero in Central Kad Suan Kaew,good Western and Thai food at good prices,I think it's on the 2nd or 3rd Floor,under the cinema.

Let me take this opportunity to flog the Chiang Mai Eats map I put together with the help of several TV members. All of these places come with a recommendation from somebody and most are less than 50 baht per meal. These are all Thai or southeast asia places http://goo.gl/maps/JejYz
