Baan Landai, a Michelin-recognised spot, made for a fitting grand finale to our Chiang Mai trip. The food was competently executed across the board — clean flavours, thoughtful plating, and a menu that reflects the restaurant’s dedication to refined Thai cooking. The crab meat omelette is the star, generously packed with fresh and chunky meat of the crustacean. But the real showstoppers arrived at the end. The desserts, especially the Met Khanoon, stole the evening. This traditional Ayutthaya treat of mung bean paste, coconut, and sugar, delicately coated in egg yolk and served in fragrant coconut cream, was beautifully made and memorable — the kind of dessert that lingers in your mind long after the meal.
If there was one misstep, it was the service. Compared to the warm, earnest hospitality we’ve experienced throughout Chiang Mai, the indifference here stood out. Not rude, just disengaged, and the reason it cost them a star. Still, for the food — and that heavenly Met Khanoon — Baan Landai remains worth a stop.
