Nice wine list to accompany your dinner. The place is quite chic, it is better to make a reservation before going there. Excellent service.
KONGSIAM RESTAURANT
Read moreUdon Thani's most unusual venue. With subdued lighting and trumpets on the ceiling, the room welcomes musicians every evening. The decor is absolutely original and artistic. On the culinary side, local and international dishes are served at very reasonable prices. The bar is well stocked. The cocktails, however, are a weak point. Of course, the clientele is young and up-to-the-minute. It's the perfect place to spend a good evening, especially as a couple, without necessarily frequenting establishments run by Westerners.
DAENG NAMNUENG VIETNAMESE
Read moreThis riverside restaurant boasts a large, pleasant terrace. The à la carte menu features Vietnamese specialties of the highest quality.

Read moreNear Lake Nong Prajapark, this is a restaurant worth a visit. It serves excellent Vietnamese cuisine with Isaan influences. The prices are very low. A la carte: sausages, curries, noodles, nems, spring rolls, omelettes and many other delicacies. The map is not translated into English but there are pictures of the dishes. A downside: the room is very bright and evokes a cafeteria more than a restaurant. The establishment is quite off-centre but the tuk tuk tuk drivers know this address well.
POMODORO
Read moreLocated in a small village with many bars and restaurants, between Kosa and Pullman hotels, this small establishment is worth a visit. The cuisine offered is of very good quality, including antipasti and pizzas. Few establishments of this type in the city, if you want to eat Italian, it's here!

GAI YANG RABEAB
Read moreA small and very cheap restaurant that is crowded every lunchtime. The reason? It offers excellent local specialities at very competitive prices. Don't hesitate to try the green papaya salad(Som Tam) and the chicken dishes. The room is plain, with large waxed tablecloths on the tables, but the show is in the plate.

This is a good opportunity to try local specialties, such as sausage in several variations. The bar offers good cocktails and wine, as well as the usual Thai beers.
BUA LUANG RESTAURANT
Read moreThis restaurant, which could not be more touristy, is nevertheless well located in front of this vast body of water surrounded by its green crown. The superstructures of many temples protrude here and there above the trees. The menu is quite classic and the quality of the dishes is average, but the setting is worth the trip, especially for lunch. Since the lake is located in the south of the city, the easiest way is to get there by collective taxi (no. 10, blue). Stop at Fairy Plaza shopping centre and end of walk, to the east.
