Barrab Restaurant
บาลาบ
A small Northern Thai home-style restaurant near the Clock Tower, ranked among the top restaurants in Chiang Rai on TripAdvisor and well suited to first-time visitors.
Tucked into a small lane near Wat Bai Qi Feng and the night market, a few minutes' walk from the Clock Tower. It has thousands of reviews on TripAdvisor and has long ranked in the top ten for Chiang Rai. The menu focuses on Northern Thai flavors. The namesake Barrab laab is mildly spicy. Hang Lay curry with flatbread, khao soi, Northern Thai sausage and chicken Thai stir-fried rice noodles are often recommended. There are vegetarian and gluten-free options, and drinks are sweetened with honey instead of syrup. You can order small portions of rice or full main dishes, at moderate prices. The space is very small, so book ahead for dinner. According to reviews, it does not accept credit cards.
