Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Vegetarian dishes aren't just a footnote on the menu here, and that's precisely why you should visit this restaurant. The kitchen prepares familiar Thai dishes and treats the plant-based options as complete meals. This makes the restaurant the ideal choice if the group can't agree on where to eat. Whether someone wants meat or not – no one has to compromise.

It's more casual than elegant and suitable for solo travelers with a book as well as groups of four. What really bothers me, though, are the opening hours. From 8 a.m. until midnight, every day, is unusual in this part of Bangkok and makes the place incredibly convenient. Ideal for breakfast before a stroll to the temples or for a leisurely dinner at 11 p.m. when you're back from the river and all the other nearby restaurants have closed. Jet lag can mess up mealtimes, and this is the solution.

The location at Soi Samsen 4 is in Phra Nakhon, just a short walk from Khao San Road and the older alleys of Banglamphu.
