Hi cafe & bistro (ไฮ คาเฟ่ แอนด์ บิสโทร)​ — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

It was a complete fluke that I ended up at this restaurant and I have to say that they did not disappoint! First of all, what excellent value! It's rare to find somewhere that looks this nice and is this close to all the tourist areas with such reasonable prices. Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the food... I ordered a crispy bacon salad. It was a tiny bit overdressed for me but the flavour was terrific and the variety of vegetables on it was spot-on. AND they actually delivered on the crispy bacon! As a Canadian, this is important to me :-) I also had the mushroom soup and it was absolutely delicious. For only 40 Baht! I really don't think you can beat that. The service was very polite and professional as well and the lovely young man working in there was very patient with me. The only reason they didn't get the fifth star from me is because I really like an outdoor area to sit. (Fussy fussy) I would definitely go back! What a grat...

A hidden gem in Pong Yaeng, Mae Rim. This is the place to go if you're searching for a reasonably priced, wonderful, and perhaps semi-fine dining restaurant. I have dined here for many years, and I can always appreciate Auntie Hi's (The Owner) perfected cooking skill and the quality of the ingredients. Auntie Hi shops for groceries personally every alternate day, so you can rest assured that the ingredients she uses are always fresh and locally sourced.

The menu features primarily European foods, such as pork collar steak with apple sauce and grilled salmon. However, there are also excellent fusion meals such as Sai-Ua (Northern Thai Sausage) Pasta. The portions are also substantial, so you can easily fill your stomach without spending too much money here. For me personally, seafood soup is a must-try.

Minor inconvenience, though. There is limited seating and almost no parking. Which I am able to...

This is a fine dining experience in the midst of nowhere. Which is something unexpected, since when you're on the road you usually keep your expectations low. Everything, literally everything was superb - from their hand grated potato chips, so juicy and not oily at all, to their fish both white and salmon, to their vegetables (fresh green peas with salmon, mmm) and even mushroom soup with real mushrooms in it (and I dare guess that they were not canned, very flavourful soup, indeed, full of herbs and creamy). The tea was a hot pot of tea leaves, garlic bread was made out of baguette!!! Even their salt is pink Himalayan. Service is ultra friendly and accomodating, menu in English, though staff doesn't speak English. Air conditioned. So, ladies and gents, the verdict is - a must...
