Gourmet Visits Chiang Mai Reunpae 2

There are plenty of options in Chiang Mai for locals and travelers to enjoy traditional Thai cuisine. If you're looking to get out of the city for a meal with family or friends, you'll want to check out Chiang Mai Reunpae 2.

Located just outside the city in Mae Rim, Chiang Mai Reunpae 2, or "floating house," (companion to Reunpae 1 in Sankampaeng) is just that: a series of lakeside pavilions with stunning views of the Doi Suthep foothills. The restaurant's tranquil environment is within easy reach of the city from the Mae Rim road.

The spacious pavilion seating accommodates large parties as well as more intimate gatherings. During my visit, I and my three companions were serenaded by a large group of diners in one of the pavilions singing old Thai ballads, while smaller parties enjoyed quiet conversation or watched the revelers with amusement.

Seated next to the surrounding lake, we were treated to Reunpae's recommended menu: fried fish in tamarind sauce, shrimp and mushrooms in oyster sauce, fried morning glory with egg and minced pork in a tangy lemon sauce, and a seasonal favorite - hed thob curry, made with mushrooms only available during the monsoon season.

The menu features a wide assortment of other traditional Thai cuisine, from steamed seafood (crab, shrimp, and fish) curries, grilled pork and chicken, to a range of spicy salads. You can top off your meal with a dessert of fresh fruit, ice cream, or crunchy mango and chili dip. Reunpae's fare is uniformly delicious and served by a friendly and attentive staff, all at a price that will fit anyone's budget - most dishes priced below 100 baht.

Can't make the trip out to Mae Rim? No problem. Chiang Mai Reunpae 2 also offers full-service catering.

The bottom line: with such a variety of classic Thai cuisines available in Chiang Mai, from the ultra chic to the ultra casual, Chiang Mai Reunpae offers a delicious and affordable menu in a peaceful getaway spot, where families or couples can relax and enjoy the company and the atmosphere.
