This is another restaurant that if anyone has the opportunity to visit Nakhon Si Thammarat, I recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is very warm. It feels like visiting a relative's house surrounded by nature, mountains, and fruit orchards around the restaurant. No matter what season you go, the weather is good all year round. The food here has both savory and sweet dishes that are very delicious. There are many menus: Pad Thai, spaghetti, steak, all nationalities are available~~ I noticed that no table of customers who come to eat only eats desserts and drinks. Every table must have a savory menu. It is a cafe where you can eat both rice and desserts and go home full.
