Blackitch Artisan Kitchen

This restaurant is a must-do experience in Chiang Mai. Firstly, the restaurant is amazingly cool, with an excellent fit-out. Secondly, the staff are warm and friendly, and know their stuff backwards, from the wine list, to the menu on offer for the evening and where all the ingredients used are sourced. Finally, the food is the star. No meal disappointed, with each plate an amazing success. The wine pairing is also excellent, with each wine matching perfectly to the meal it was accompanying.

If you are in Chiang Mai, I highly, highly recommend Blackitch. The vibrancy of the city, filled with night markets, day time walks around temples, and wonderful interactions, only compliments Blackitch, which is a quiet retreat filled with incredible food, service, and a standout menu. Each course was amazing - perfectly portioned, perfectly timed, and absolutely delicious. There’s something about the thoughtfulness of the service paired with the excellent food that makes you feel just as present as you are while out and about in old city. Definitely recommend Blackitch.

Enjoyed a birthday celebration here! It’s nice to see how the ingredients came from all over Thailand, drinks are also tasty. Would recommend you to come and try out their menus as it’s seasonal. Good foray into thai cuisine.

A modern take on traditional Northern Thai food. Well executed, full of flavour. Surprisingly good wine pairing too. I would rate this at a one star level.

We had a truly memorable evening at Blackitch, and it deserves every bit of praise. Our host, Mei, was outstanding. She introduced each dish with elegance and clarity, explaining not only the flavours but also the origins of the ingredients and how they reflect Northern Thai cuisine. Her storytelling added so much depth to the experience—it felt thoughtful, intentional, and deeply respectful of the food. The standout dishes were the fish cake with lotus element, which was beautifully balanced and delicate, and the green tea ice cream dessert with yuzu coulis, which was fresh, refined, and the perfect ending to the meal. The Thai wagyu main was also incredible—rich, perfectly cooked, and paired beautifully with the condiments and rice. This tasting menu felt curated rather than performative: seasonal, local, and confident without being flashy. You can really feel the care that goes into every plate. If you’re interested in elevated Northern Thai cuisine with heart, precision, and warmth, Blackitch is absolutely not to be missed.

A Unique Culinary Journey at Blackitch We didn’t go for the full pairing, but took the sommelier’s suggestion to try orange wine — and it paired beautifully all the way through the meal! The tasting course was crafted with unique local ingredients from across Thailand, north to south, as shown clearly in the menu. It really felt like a food journey through the country. Some dishes were easy to enjoy, while a few were a bit challenging for my taste — especially the one with blue cheese (not my favorite, but interesting!). Desserts were lovely, especially with the refillable tea pairing from the restaurant — a nice touch. The atmosphere was intimate and quiet. We started around 5 PM and finished by 7:30 PM. Considering the experience and creativity, it’s definitely worth trying at least once.

This restaurant was the highlight of my trip to Chiang Mai! Definitely the best meal of the journey, Blackitch Artisan Kitchen’s Regional Thai Essence tasting menu (May edition) features 13 creative courses inspired by the flavors and ingredients from all over Thailand. It reflects the chef’s deep respect and understanding of local produce, with each dish thoughtfully composed. The entire experience breaks away from the usual heavy handed Thai flavors. It still captures the soul of Thai cuisine, but with a delicate, inventive twist that really hit the sweet spot for me. Every ingredient is sourced from organic farms across the country, and I can truly taste the seasons and the land in every bite.

Absolutely fantastic meal, so memorable!!! Loved the featuring of various regional produce from all over Thailand. Excellent flavour combinations, and textures too. Truly an outstanding, gastronomical experience. You must book ahead. There are two seatings a night (and lunch apparently too). There is a 5pm (which we went to as no other spaces were available) and a 7:30/8pm time slot. It’s a 14 course tasting menu for about 3,000 THB $100 USD per person, alcohol and drinks extra. The pineapple basil mocktail with fresh red peppercorns was delicious!! The staff said it was their favourite too! It is a very satisfying tasting menu and we left definitely feeling full, satisfied but not uncomfortable. Some of the dishes were slightly spicy (which we enjoyed) and you were told if it was spicy- I’d say they modify the spice level according to your preferences when booking. Wait staff spoke English and explained each dish. It’s very reasonable for a Michelin recommended restaurant with such excellent food. There is only seating available for 15 people upstairs (not wheelchair accessible) But it was a pleasant area with quite nice decor. Ideal for special night out or to impress clients as it showcases such amazing quality Thai produce.
