We love this place. We stayed at Anantara Elephant Camp and purchased the Golden Triangle Package which included all the meals. We ended up eating at this place for all 3 meals. Breakfast buffet was excellent with great Asian and Western choices, including fresh fruits and coconuts. Bread was made fresh, as a matter of fact, when they found out my daughter was lactose intolerant, they made a new batch just for her. We opted for Thai food for lunch and dinner they were among the best we've had on our entire trip. They also have some Western selection, but most of the western food is next door. The prices on the menu appears quite expensive, but luckily for us, it was included in our package. Overall, we enjoyed the food, the excellent service, and the view. I would get the inclusive package as food without it would be quite expensive.

Although prices have increased since last year on the "English Tranlation" Menu still very reasonable prices for quality food. Hygenic restaurant with very clean toilets.
At lunchtime-signature dish is kao soy noodles with kai (chicken)
All day favorites chicken and cashew (kai medmuan)
Spicy beef with coriander and chilli krapow well presented with a fried egg on top or spicy pad thai.
Good choice of refrigerated drinks.

We stopped here as there was a lot of mini buses with tourists. Food was good and reasonable priced.
Wife said the toilets were very clean. Stop and take in the sights. Directly opposite where we are sitting is Myanmar with Laos on the distance on the other side of the Mekong River.

We stopped in at Janine cafe after seeing the great reviews on TA
Very sadly there was nothing in the bakery goods, the cakes were definitely not home made and not fresh, things we asked for on the menu were not available apparently. There was no fresh bread on offer, there were some biscuits in an open jar that. We're not appealing .
I caught the lady making our smoothies (no coffee machine to be seen) licking the spoon as she was making them, I was on my way to the bathroom and surprised her. The chocolate slice from the display we bought was dried up and not really edible, spoons were not adequate to cut it up. I would not have liked to order soup or pizza as we would have waited a long time for them to be made or sourced from somewhere else. Definitely since last reviewed this place seems to have deteriorated what a shame.
5. Mekong Pizza
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
IMPORTANT: Mekong Pizza will be CLOSED from April 20th thru May 5th, 2017. Apologies for the inconvenience.<br><br>We do the best pizza on the Mekong. Or so our customers say. Thin, slightly crispy crust with organic salads and very good Australian beef for those who don't want pizza. Don't forget to try the fresh chocolate chip cookies. There's the usual assortment of Thai (and Lao) beers and a modest but decent wine selection. Try us. You'll like us. From what others are saying, it's the best kept secret in the Golden Triangle. OK, maybe not THE best. There's LOTS of secrets here, but you get the idea.

The pizzas are some of the best we have had in Thailand, and certainly match anything Bangkok can offer! The dining room is simple but comfortable with indoor and outdoor areas, with the awesome smell of the pizzas being baked from the kitchen in the...MoreMany thanks for your generous and enormously flattering review.

6. Aom Kitchen

Reviewed By Christine M - Vancouver, Canada
This Chiang Saen riverside restaurant is the perfect place to have a cold drink and a delicious Thai meal at the end of a day. I love the Mekong vibe and the low, candlelit tables - brimming with foreigners and locals alike. Aom and Ying are wonderful cooks and turn out top dishes from their portable kitchen - I had the best fried mushrooms ever; and they can cater creatively to vegetarians too. Ying has years of experience from the Four Seasons, and everyone working here is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Finalizando la viista al Triàngulo de Oro, nos llevaron a todo el grupo a almorzar a este lugar, donde el servicio es buffet, como todas las comidas que hicimos en el itinerario en Tailandia, donde hay gran variedad de platos tìpicos. algunos bastantes picantes, por ello hay que probar un poco de cada cosa, a ver què no pica. Es un lugar muy sencillo, abierto, y muy concurrido. Lamentablemente no saquè fotos para mostrarles, espero que haya otra oportunidad.
