Sai Ua Gao Makham
Chiang Mai reveals its Chinese heritage with its devotion to pork products, most obvious in the northern Thai speciality of sâi òo·a (pork sausage). Good quality sâi òo·a should be zesty and spicy with discernible flavours of lemongrass, ginger and turmeric. One of the famous sausage makers is Sai Ua Gao Makham, a small stall in Talat Mae Huay (Mae Huay market), which is a few kilometres south of the Night Safari on the way to Hang Dong.

Ban Kaew Heuan Kam
Outside of town on the klorng road, this pretty teak building is a thoroughly Thai affair (even the menu is written in Thai) and it’s a lovely spot to invite a Thai speaker to dinner. Without a translator, the first two pages of the menu are mainly northern Thai dishes (such as #1008 frog salad, #1014 steamed chicken in pandanus leaf, #2003 Burmese-style curry and #2012 fish curry with forest vegetables).

Mengrai Sai Ua
Chiang Mai reveals its Chinese heritage with its devotion to pork products, most obvious in the northern Thai speciality of sâi òo·a (pork sausage). Good quality sâi òo·a should be zesty and spicy with discernible flavours of lemongrass, ginger and turmeric. One of the famous sausage makers is Mengrai Sai Ua, near the Holiday Inn on the east bank of the river.

Favola
Le Meridien’s showcase Italian restaurant features a flamboyant chef who has transformed mama’s cooking into a high-tech affair using molecular gastronomy techniques to prepare foams, infused oils and savoury ice creams. Hints of vanilla and pumpkin oil add dramatic character to fettuccini, but the best bets are the surprisingly affordable pizzas with wood oven–crisped crusts.

Dong
Northern Thai food for northern Thai people, Dong nails the Lanna specialities – nám prík nùm,lâhp kôo·a and gaang hang·lair – in a gewgaw-free setting, an incredible demonstration of restraint considering Chiang Mai’s obsession with wooden knick-knacks. But the service is so slow you’ll wonder if they had to trek to Burma to fetch the dishes.

Tsunami
CMU students are really into Kyoto-style ramen and sushi stalls, which have sprung up all along Th Huay Kaew. The most famous is Tsunami, which always has a wait even during Ъìt teum (semester break). If you can’t get a seat head further north to Na Mor Sushi, which is unsigned but recognisable by the big wok out front.

Milk Garden
The backbone of the Western culinary tradition, bread is merely a fanciful dessert in Thailand, often toasted and drowned in sweetened condensed milk. It is normally served from vendor stalls, but milk shops, like this arty hangout, often pop up wherever there are students. Drinks and other snackable dishes are also served.

Mi Casa
A Mediterranean crash course is available at this vivacious restaurant located behind Chiang Mai University. The chef is from northern Spain and invites Chiang Mai’s fresh produce and imported ingredients to tango with him in the kitchen, preparing tapas standards and artful entrees.

Tien Sieng Vegetarian Restaurant
This Buddhist society–affiliated restaurant serves a variety of pre-made vegetarian dishes over rice. Technically the dishes are jair, meaning they don’t contain meat, garlic or onions, but they’re still tasty and for 20B you get a choice of two dishes.

Bang Moey Kaafae
Noodle-heads will find an unusual addition to their lunch-time pastime: ambience. Instead of the tables-and-tiles decor of most noodle shops, this spot occupies an old wooden house with antique metal advertisements adorning the front.

Kanom Jeen Nimman
You don’t have to trek out to a morning market to blast your senses with the intense flavours of kà·nŏm jeen (white rice noodles served with curry). This open-air shop along the main road saves you the commute.
