European sausages and even Currywurst in Chiang Mai?! Before we had to travel to the darkest corners of Pattaya to get these.

Read the Tripadvisor reviews first. They are hilarious. And mostly very bad.

Breaking out of the usual "toast with jam and egg" mold and offering tasty bagels at good prices. One of the most popular up-and-coming breakfast places in Chiang Mai.

A good example of how to turn a house into a guesthouse. Very pleasant and green surroundings. Good and quiet location.

A restaurant serving mainly Kao Tom (rice gruel soup), and perhaps other dishes. Interesting for night owls for its closing time of 2 a.m.

Well-reviewed place if you fancy German food, breakfast, pastries and cakes.

A bit gloomy but open until two in the morning. The fried rice with crab is recommended.

Nondescript hole-in-the-wall that has good food and friendly service.

Consistently strong reviews and a few tables on the terrace. Branch of a nationwide chain.

Ambitions venture serving seafood. Probably no English menu. When it comes to seafood in Chiang Mai, high value sea fish and mussels most often fresh, while squid is sometimes preserved with chemicals. This will get better in the future with more and more seafood shipped to Chiang Mai.

Larb is Issan (North-Eastern Thai) food consisting of minced meat (pork, beef or chicken). It can be prepared raw or cooked and with different spices.

A little out of the way but a good choice to sample Northern Thai cuisine in a rustic setting.

New place that makes an effort in terms of ambience extending to the food. Another huge positive is the (extremely rare) opening time until midnight, especially great for tourists on home clock seeking a late dinner.

Highly recommended Bagel Cafe with good service and very reasonable prices.

Very popular restaurant serving Thai and Western food and some vegetarian and vegan dishes. Recently many complains about lackluster service and sub-standard food. This place serves Thai food adapted to western palates. It is not authentic. Service can be grumpy and slow. Perhaps check out the reviews on Tripadvisor and elsewhere.

This is not the more famous Pun Pun vegetarian restaurant. But this is Thailand and duplicae restaurant names are mai pen rai.

A hidden gem serving Lanna Thai cuisine, also accommodation with a garden pool. Too bad most restaurant reviews are conflated with the hotel reviews.

Hoy kha is Thai for dangling your legs from above. A family-run low-profile restaurant with great potential.

Startup place with burgers and other eponymous fare. Prices may be a bit high now but at least raises are while off.

Long established restaurant at a good riverside location that has some management and staffing issues, resulting in a less than stellar dining experience for many. Other riverside restaurants such as The Riverside are much better. Samsen Villa tries to be different such as with their large selection of sea food and sea fish dishes (a rarity in Chiang Mai), but it falls down with the lacklustre management and staff.

Looks more like an antiques shop, but is a restaurant serving (mostly) salapoa, rice flour dumplings.

A little hole in the wall with great reviews on TA

Famous marinated chicken and acceptable Isaan food. Open only until 9 pm. or until the chickens run out (not literally), whatever comes first. You come here for the chicken, other food can be much better elsewhere. Sadly, the haphazard preparation of Thai dishes served in small portions is all too common at Thai-Chinese establishments.

Hangout for students of nearby Ratchaphat University. Free entry. Can be interesting as an approachable typical Thai discotheque: Dark, loud music and friendly patrons.
