A vocational training restaurant supported by the non-profit organization Friends-International, helping marginalized youth learn culinary and hospitality skills. It is now located at the entrance of the Peuan Mit Center on Phai Nam Road, near the That Dam (Black Stupa) area. The storefront is smaller than before, with a streamlined menu and daily specials written on a small blackboard at the entrance. Diners often mention the banana flower salad, fried fish with sour cream sauce, lemongrass eggplant, fresh spring rolls, and avocado shakes, with vegetarian options also available. It is currently only open for weekday lunch; some websites still list the old evening hours, so please plan your visit around lunch. Reviews generally describe it as offering great value for money and friendly service.
