Mon and Kurt's Restaurant and Guesthouse
Chiang Dao is quickly becoming a haven for many expats and tourists who find the changing face of Chiang Mai city just a little too hectic. This German/Thai owned restaurant serves a selection of dishes cooked to perfection - testament to this are the flock of Chiang Dao's foreign and Thai residents who dine here every night. The mushroom soup is delicious, as is their Russian borschtsch (beetroot) soup; the fraenkische bratwuerste (sausage) and wiener schnitzel are both highly recommended as well as being the pride of the German owner, Kurt. Mon, the Thai half of the restaurant, is a prize winning Thai cook who will surprise you at how she can rustle up Thai dishes you've had a hundred times before and make them taste just that bit better. They also serve a range of salads and desserts. As for the boozy elixir, well you are spoiled for choice: Erdinger, Weihenstephaner, Warsteiner imported beers as well as San Miguel and Beer Laos, red/white wines and spirits. Come here for a drive out into the sublime countryside or stay a few nights - Mon and Kurt have two guest rooms, both with ADSL connection and free coffee; they also have a small furnished traditional Thai house for rent (with all facilities) in a quiet area of Chiang Dao. Motorcycles available for daily rental. Restaurant, room and hire rates are extremely modest.
Open 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Closed Mondays
Located right across the street from Chiang Dao Inn (take the Fang Rd. 107 out of Chiang Mai, through Mae Rim, Mae Taeng and on to Chiang Dao. The restaurant is right downtown, in Chiang Dao, on your right hand side, if you are travelling North)
