General

Nan has a good selection of places to eat. Particularly pleasant are the riverfront bars and restaurants for an afternoon drink that slowly blends into dinner.

De Dario's - Slowly sliding downhill
37/4 Soi Snow White, Ratamnuay Rd - Nan
Tel: (054) 750 258;

De Dario's began as a Swiss restaurant then became Swiss, Italian and Thai, and now with the recent passing of Dario, it may well become Thai. Until then, this remains a reasonable place to satisfy cravings for cheese and other western food.
Type of Food: Italian / Swiss / Thai /
Opening Hours: Mon-Sat 10:00-14:00 17:00-22:00, Sun 17:00-22:00

Rean Kaew - Nice spot by the river
Sumonthewarat Rd - Nan

Located at the northern end of town, this hugely popular riverside Thai restaurant is well worth the trip out. It's around a 20-minute walk from town. Just follow Sumonthewarat Rd till it turns sharply to the left and the restaurant is on your right.

Riverfront area - Great spots by the river
Under the bridge by the riverfront - Nan

The collection of bars and restaurants lining the banks of the Nan river offer a wide collection of Thai standards and provide a relaxing spot for a late afternoon or early evening refreshment. If the time of year is right, you'll be able to watch the Nan boat racing teams warming up for their annual races.

Suan Isaan - Toned down Isaan food
Small soi off Mahayot Road - Nan

Located almost straight behind the Nanfah Hotel, this is Nan's most popular Isaan restaurant and although popular with Thais and foreigners alike, the food is rather spiced down for foreigners. If you like your food spicy, be sure to say so.

Anantaworarittidet Rd - Nan

This excellent little vegetarian restaurant has the best English vegetarian menu for hundreds of kilometres. Delicious hearty servings are very well priced. Some English spoken.
