Maré Seafood — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

A standout here is the T-bone paella —rich, deeply flavorful rice with a crave-worthy crusty bottom from rendered beef fat and seasonings. While the paella itself was sublime, the T-bone cut that day had an excessive fat cap (unacceptable for a dish costing 2900THB), marring an otherwise stellar dish. The crab roll shone brightly too: generous lumps of sweet crab in a tangy cream sauce, topped with fresh dill, served on a lightly crunchy buttered roll. Simple yet expertly balanced.

F&B : We had their delish lobster roll and oysters in Neighbourhood so we wanted to try the main branch instead.

We had oysters , 1 deep fried and the other in herb butter. Both were good. Oysters here are fresh from the several trips we had at their Neighborhood branch.

Lobster Bisque with tiger prawns was ok. No ooomph to the bisque.

Truffle fettuccine was good and just about the right serving size for us. Good truffle flavour. Scallops all good.

Pan seared snow fish was the star of the show. Nice crispy skin and perfectly done fish. Their creamy romesco sauce is very tasty. Definitely order this when here.

Service : attentive , a lil off on the coordination but all good end of day.

Parking : Opposite...

It's in between the Ringping market and bakery which makes it an easy place to grab dinner after grocery shopping. That is if you're looking for Thai style "fine dining".

The wine glasses and dinnerware alone put this place several notches above your typical roadside restaurant which is also reflected in the prices.

We had the penne with shrimp which was quite cheesy and the linguine pesto with salmon. The portions were modest yet filling. The salmon was nicely prepared and the shrimp...
