POMODORO

Pizzeria €€

Located in a small soi with many bars and restaurants, between the Kosa and Pullman hotels, this little establishment is well worth a visit. The cuisine on offer is of very high quality, especially the antipasti and thin-crust pizzas. There aren't many establishments of this type in town, so if you're in the mood for Italian food, this is the place! You can choose between two settings: on the terrace or in a small air-conditioned room. The decor is sober and the background music pleasant. The waitresses are friendly and efficient, and speak good English.

GAI YANG RABEAB

Thai restaurant

A 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. The sign is in Thai, so you'll have to locate the place on the map to find it, or you can also ask for its location once in the street: everyone knows!

DER LA JAZZ

Thai restaurant €€

One of Khon Kaen's best places to spend a pleasant evening. This restaurant boasts a large terrace on the corner of a quiet street, and every evening offers live music from bands who come to perform on the stage, in a jazz atmosphere, of course. On the plate, Isaan's cuisine is at its best. The dishes are carefully presented, but the portions are a little meagre. 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

Thai restaurant €€

This 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.
