Description

It’s easy to miss this likeable little wine bar tucked away in the Old Town, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled, lest you lose out on all the joys it has to offer. There’s a comforting, rustic feel to both the look and the cooking, with a semi-vaulted ceiling and whitewashed brick walls providing the perfect setting for the generous and full-flavoured dishes. A wonderful risotto with Polish porcini mushrooms is a prime example. The fun, trendy wine list focuses on orange and natural options, hence the ‘Nat’ in the name.

Review summary

Nat Bistro in Chiang Mai specializes in traditional Thai cuisine, holding a 4.2/5 rating. Food quality is a primary strength, with Pad Thai, green curry, and Kow Soi frequently praised for their authenticity and taste. However, 11 reviews cited issues such as small portions, undercooked bacon, and missing breakfast items. Service is mixed; while owner Nat is noted for being charming and fluent in English, others experienced significant delays, including a 50-minute wait during the Lantern Festival. The ambiance has diminished slightly due to the restaurant being halved in size, and the lack of air conditioning can make the interior hot. Value perception varies: lunch is considered good value, whereas breakfast is criticized for high prices relative to portion sizes.

Best for

Suitable for travelers seeking authentic Thai lunch who can tolerate non-air-conditioned spaces; avoid peak times to prevent slow service.
