In-Depth Information
(Th Kheuan Thani; 4-11pm)
Though it's smaller than you'd expect, Ubon's city-centre night
market makes an excellent dining destination; especially when paired with the weekend
Walking Street Market. Vendors sell Thai, Isan and Vietnamese food.
Porntip Gai Yang
Wat Jaeng
(Th Saphasit; dishes 20-130B; 8am-8pm)
It looks like a tornado has whipped through this no-
frills spot, but the chefs cook up a storm of their own. This is considered by many to be
Ubon's premier purveyor of
gài yâhng, sôm·đam,
sausages and other classic Isan foods.

Moon Lover
(Th Rimmun; espresso 40B; 9am-9pm Tue-Sun; )
While most coffeeshops in Thailand follow
a design-by-the-numbers formula, this vivid place down by the river has actual style. En-
joy delicious coffees, teas, waffles and smoothies (we recommend the 'Good Morning
Monkey': pineapple, banana, coconut and walnut) with a jazz soundtrack.

Outside Inn
(Th Suriyat; dishes 50-215B; 11am-2.30pm & 5-9pm Wed-Mon; )
This hotel restaurant sets it-
self apart with good (by Thailand standards) Mexican meals, but the Thai food is deli-
cious, too. The menu also features sandwiches and a full roster of cocktails.

Krua Ruen Pae
(dishes 40-300B; 10am-11pm; )
One of several floating restaurants on the Mun River,
Krua Ruen Pae serves up tasty Thai and Isan food and a relaxed atmosphere. The
đôm kàh
gài
(chicken with galangal in coconut milk) is lovely. If you are driving here, exit to the
west and then go under the bridge.

Gway-tiao Gai Boran
(Th Phrommarat; 30-50B; 8.30am-3pm)
Yes, the
gŏo·ay·đĕe·ăo
(noodle soup) here is delicious,
but we love it most for it's old-time feel. It's part of the revival of the old city centre.
