The best restaurants Nan

This tiny establishment with its pastel-blue walls is well worth a visit. It's close to Wat Phumin. Here you can sample some excellent noodle soup specialties from the north of the country: the famous Khao Soi and Nam Ngeaw. The Khao Soi follows the Nan recipe: a spicy broth with a dash of concentrated coconut milk, with a choice of beef or chicken. Other more classic noodles are available, as well as roast pork over rice. Right next door is Hot Bread, a small, friendly restaurant offering more international cuisine.

Huan Phuka is the ideal restaurant for a taste of authentic Lanna cuisine. If you're unfamiliar, try the appetizer platter with nam prik nua and nam prik ong, northern specialties concocted with spices to accompany steamed vegetables, pork sausage and glutinous rice. Another house specialty is grilled pork ribs. Wide choice of meats, fish, salads... Beware, however, that some dishes are slightly spicy. Pleasant service.

Typical recipes from the Northeast region of Thailand. The portions are hearty and the dishes really good. One of the specialties is green papaya salad (Som Tam), but they also serve excellent grilled pork (Moo Yan). Fast service. This modest but charming restaurant is tucked away in the vegetation. The kitchen is open-air, on the entrance level. The air-conditioned dining room is hidden behind. Prices are really low. Please note that the sign is not written in English, and you may pass the restaurant without seeing it.
