Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Throughout our stay, my two friends and I enjoyed the luxury of occupying a spacious suite that provided us with comfortable accommodation. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the whole experience, where we delighted in refreshing drinks. Walking on the grass near the pool added an extra layer of relaxation to our getaway. Breakfast was delicious. Everything was beautiful decor!"
"This is a gem of a restaurant in Chiangmai. If you enjoy dining in private, this is as good as it's gonna get. The warm pizza crust is topped with a generous layer of tomato sauce and cheese. Every morsel melts in your mouth. The Tom Kha Gai comes in a small portion and I wish there was more. The soup is probably the best I've tasted in a while. The chicken wings could have been spicier but other than that, not much to complaint about. The attention to detail by the service staff was A1. They deserve a huge tip. The only downside is that mosquitoes found their way into the restaurant but since this is the wet season, there's not much the staff can do about, I guess. I'll definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu. And you should too."
"The food at Malao Malao is incredible! This is traditional Thai and high-quality cooking. We had some different dishes and all were delicious. Vegetarians will also be happy at this place! If you’d like to try some traditional high-quality Thai food definitely come here!"
"Malao Malao is located by the river. The parking lot is right next to the hotel. Nice ambience, good Thai food, and great service. We ordered many dishes and they were all tasty, especially pomelo spicy salad and steamed seabass. Recommend for couple and family."
"We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident (randomly browsing on TripAdvisor). We tried and loved the foods there so much! They do both modern Italian, and fusion Western-Thai menus. The place is a bit off the city centre but trust me it is ideal if you and your family want to find a quiet and private venue for lunch and dinner."
"That was my best breakfast in thailand. we are staying at The Chiang Mai Riverside Hotel, this restaurant is also part of the facilities, we had drinks and food at night time, we could enjoy the swimming pool areas also had the perfct evening, drinks were incredible, also super tasty food. same for breakfast with room delivery."
"I highly recommend coming here for dinner and breakfast. We enjoyed both meals. Kids loved the pasta and calzone. Everything was beautifully presented with quality ingredients. Probably one of the best meals we had during our stay in Thailand. God’s gift."
"During my stay in The Chiang Mai Riverside I have experienced one of the best breakfast from Thailand. The Vorra Bistro is probably one of the top restaurants from this city,offering a big range of high class dishes that can easily compete with the ones from other parts of the world. It is located at 10 minutes by car from the city center and from the airport,so if you are in a hurry and looking for a gorgeous place to eat this is the right place.They have also pizza,pasta and other types of Italian food.And the cherry on the top is that you can enjoy a beautiful sunset over the Pink river while you are enjoying your dinner.Also the offer a butler service in case you want to have your breakfast in the room.If you are in Chiang Mai you definitely have to eat at least 1 time."
