The gardens are really beautiful, with nice terraces and wooden furniture. There is live music at night.
We only had 3 dishes that night. It was my second time at that restaurant and from what I remember, the first time was better. But sincerely, it’s really good. The first one was called “Matcha Klom Kleeo” in Thai. Some kind of fish with vegetable on top. Second one, with the big mushrooms, is “Pad Pak See Sahai”. Chinese style. And into the coconut was “Hamok Thale”, too spicy to my taste but good. The price, with one beer + water + ice was about 400 baht.
A page of the menu, only in Thai. Prices are fine if you think about this wonderful decor.
You can also dine inside, with air conditioning. They have a selection of wine. A really great restaurant in Loei, Isaan or even anywhere in Thailand.
