Set beside the elegant swimming pool amongst the gorgeous architecture of the hotel, the beautifully-decorated restaurant is an attraction in itself. Food is prepared as exquisitely as the environment demands and the authentic ambience of the occasion is established by the background instrumental Thai music and traditionally-attired staff.

With a menu consisting of Northern Thai Lanna dishes, traditional Thai, and international food with a sprinkling of fusion creations, there is a healthy choice at hand.

The light and crispy spring rolls are perfect as a delicate starter or as an appetizer with a pre-dinner cocktail. Sticking with the Thai theme, the Thai chicken salad presented as a trio of grilled chicken on lemongrass skewers served on a bed of salad with a garlic, chili and coriander dressing makes for a sumptuous light lunch dish. Plenty of spaghetti offerings would suit those wanting a more hearty meal, with a range of sauces from Europe and other lesser known Thai variations such as naam-prik-orng, minced pork, tomato and chili paste, or tom yam goong, a hot and sour shrimp sauce (ordinarily served as a soup).

Of the international fare, steaks, burgers and sandwiches are sure to appease anyone wanting a familiar taste, with a decent mix of ice creams or perhaps a crepe suzette to end the meal with.
