Udon Thani


This delightful place defies categories. The interior decor looks like a mixture of Moroccan and art nouveau, with its whimsical tiling and frosted windows. The waiters all dress formally in black ties, and the menu stretches from a club sandwich to wild boar in red curry sauce. It's a busy place for good reason: the food is great.
