Cuisine de Garden Chiangmai

A hidden gem of Chiang mai. Cuisine de Garden's cuisine offers highly sophisticated savours to the palette whilst evoking a homey warm feeling to the heart. A perfect mastery of Nordic technique and genuinity of Lanna spirit of cooking. A harmonious blend of methodically constructed flavours with a burst of creativity and playfulness. The service was excellent and transparent. An exquisite wine list. Highly reccommended for a laid back fine dinning experience. Will surely be back for next season's menu. Thank you so much for the memorable experience.

It’s my second visit after real good impression 7 years ago. I find that the cuisine is beyond expectation The concept & philosophy of LannaNordic are really clear, each dish filled with the good attention of using local products yet brought us to such beautiful journey. If I would say my thought in 3 words about my exquisite dining at Cuisine de Garden, it would be « Simply the Best »

From the outside, the restaurant looks almost abandoned, but step in and you’ll find a space that’s dark yet surprisingly comforting. It can be a little challenging for photos, but thankfully each table has a small light, with a humble spotlight shining down from above. We went for the 12-course meal and added their must-have dish, The Nest. Each course came with a short introduction explaining the inspiration and ingredients, which was a nice touch. Even better, all the ingredients are locally grown or locally caught. My favourites were the Milky Corn and Sugarcane. The Nest is very photo-worthy — the ingredients may seem simple, but the combination of onsen egg, dried noodles, and chicken comes together beautifully with a satisfying bite. One last thing worth mentioning: the toilet signs are extremely abstract… enter wisely!

First of all, this is a very intimate place. A true hidden gem. A large hidden restaurant located slightly outside the city center, about 20 minutes from downtown Chiang Mai. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere immediately set the tone for the experience. The decor is clean and minimalist, with a Nordic inspired aesthetic that creates a calm and refined ambiance and clearly signals what kind of culinary journey awaits. When it comes to the food, the restaurant offers a beautiful 12 course tasting menu highlighting products from northern Vietnam, interpreted through Nordic culinary traditions such as fermentation, smoking, and curing. It is very much a Nordic style gastronomic experience. The menu focused largely on fish and seafood. It began with delicate fish based amuse bouche, followed by smaller plates, then more generous dishes, and finished smoothly with desserts. The progression was thoughtful and well balanced. Personally, I did not have one single overwhelming standout dish, but every course had something unique and interesting. Everything was visually beautiful and very well executed. Each plate had its own character and something truly enjoyable about it. Overall, the level of execution was consistently high. I had a very lovely experience and would definitely recommend it. It is a great gastronomic table in Chiang Mai and well worth the visit.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the tasting menu at the chef’s table, and it was truly exceptional.

There was a real sense of harmony in the kitchen, and it added an extra layer of appreciation to the meal. Each course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed, showing a clear sense of balance and intention. The dishes highlighted fresh, local ingredients and offered a creative fusion of Thai and Western flavors that felt both familiar and exciting.

The from the wine pairings to the 12-course set meal... this restaurant is a hidden gem in Chiang Mai. all 12 pieces were amazing and as small as they were, I can't believe how satisfied we were at the end of dinner! my third and final Michelin star restaurant was absolutely worth it.

A special experience all round. Located in a torch lit garden. I visited 16 years ago and it’s great to see they are still serving beautiful, well thought out food. We learnt a lot about unusual Thai food and combinations. Thai fine dining and hospitality at its best. Thank you. Try it :-)
