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

Tucked away in a quiet alley in the Sriphum district, within Chiang Mai's old city moat, this rooftop café offers an unexpected taste of South Africa in northern Thailand. The combination of a relaxed dining room on the ground floor and an open rooftop terrace sets it apart from the surrounding Thai restaurants, making it a true discovery for travelers exploring the area on foot.

The menu is consistently praised for its quality and excellent value. Among the standout dishes are the fish and chips with homemade fries and homemade remoulade. Guests appreciate that the food is freshly prepared and served piping hot. The knowledgeable staff is happy to assist guests with their menu choices. The rooftop terrace is particularly popular, offering a relaxed atmosphere for dining, drinks, and enjoying the view.

The restaurant is open seven days a week from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM and is equally suitable for lunch and dinner. As it is a small, owner-operated restaurant without a website, advance reservations may not be possible – it is therefore advisable to arrive early in the evening during peak season to secure a table on the rooftop terrace. Thanks to its location on Soi Sanam Kela Lane 1, it is within walking distance of the main attractions of the Old City, making it an ideal stop for travelers exploring the area.
