Restaurants in Nong Khai

  1. Daeng Namnuang

    This massive river restaurant has grown into an Isan institution and hordes of out-of-towners head home with car boots and carry-on bags – there's an outlet at Udon Thani's airport – stuffed with năam neu·ang (pork spring rolls).

  2. Café Thasadej

    Sophistication is in short supply in Nong Khai, but it oozes out of this little restaurant. Both the menu and liquor list, the latter among the best in town, go global. Gyros, Weiner schnitzel, fish and chips, lasagne, tuna salad and smoked salmon are some of the most popular options.

  3. Nagarina

    As with nearly all fa·ràng-focused guest houses in Thailand, the Thai food at Mut Mee Garden Guesthouse is toned down and not recommended. (The Western breakfasts, on the other hand, are quite tasty.) But fear not lovers of Thai food, the kitchen of its floating restaurant turns out nothing but the real deal. It specialises in fish and often features unusual species from the Mekong. There's a sunset cruise (100B) most nights around 5pm.

  4. Rom Luang

    Though the menu is mainly Thai, most of the Yellow Umbrella’s best-known dishes, like sausages and kor mŏo yâhng (grilled pork neck), are Isan specialities. The handmade tables and chairs add flair, and the grills stay smoking until 5am.

  5. Nung-Len Coffee Bar

    This petite place with an ever-smiling owner has good java and juices plus an eclectic menu of Thai and fa·ràng food, and even a few fusions of the two, such as 'spaghetti fried chilli with chicken'.

  6. Khrua Sukapap Kwan Im

    The owners of this simple little vegetarian place make a mumsy fuss over fa·ràng diners. The food is Thai and Chinese standards (from a buffet counter and an English-language menu) plus some excellent juices.

  7. Darika Bakery

    If you're an early riser, this spartan English-speaking outfit will be waiting for you from 5am with hearty egg-and-toast breakfasts, banana pancakes, baguette sandwiches and more.

  15. Mariam Restaurant

    This Muslim restaurant serves Indian (Pakistani, actually) and southern Thai food. For 120B you get three dishes, two roti and one drink.

  16. Mae Ut

    While Daeng Namnuang operates as much like a factory as a restaurant, this little place, serving just four items, including fried spring rolls and khâ o gee ·ab Ъahk mŏr (fresh noodles with pork), is more like grandma's kitchen. Look for the orange building with tables under a blue awning. English is limited.

  17. Dee Dee Pohchanah

    How good is Dee Dee? Just look at the crowds – but don't be put off by them. Despite having a full house every night, this simple place is a well-oiled machine and you won't be waiting long. Open until 2am.
