Chiang Mai's Forest-Themed Michelin Recommended Restaurant: Black Forest Restaurant
Beyond Nimman Road or the Old City, as you move towards the outskirts by the river, you'll discover many forest-themed restaurants in Chiang Mai! Among them, located southwest of Chiang Mai Airport, the 'Black Forest Restaurant' has been honored with a Michelin recommendation, and the prices haven't skyrocketed because of it. It's definitely worth experiencing firsthand!
This restaurant is surrounded by tropical rainforest, with towering lush trees in sight, offering a pristine and natural beauty, accompanied by the occasional chirping of insects and birds. The restaurant's architecture is also quite unique, resembling a hollow mushroom house where people dine under the canopy, enjoying the greenery of the forest and the shimmering lake, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
The menu features traditional Thai cuisine, but the presentation incorporates many natural elements, making it both photogenic and delicious. Dishes like pineapple fried rice, Tom Yum Goong, and crispy roast pork are classic must-tries. While the food is good but not extraordinary, the rainforest-themed dining environment is what truly surprises and delights!
