Vegetarian eatery with a vegan buffet by the Mae Ping river, on its west bank, over-viewing Wat Chedi Liem pagoda. Follow Chang Klan road south until you underpass Mahidol road bridge, continue 600 meters, and the restaurant will be on your left, look for the yellow red veg sign. Many of the vegetables and fruits used are organically grown in its riverfront yard; the remaining produce is from its small farm in Lampang. Some pre-made dishes are displayed at the front of the restaurant, and you could also order from the menu. Buffet breaks 2-4pm. Limited English spoken. Closed Oct. 2019 with possibility of re-opening in a new location at a later date.

Hidden GEM - Edit
This spot may not get as much love from tourists as some of the vegan spots in the old city but it definitely should. The food is exceptional and the atmosphere is perfect. The restaurant overlooks a beautiful Temple and a small garden where many of the restaurants vegetables are grown. It may be the best value in all of thailand at 140 baht for the unlimited buffet. If you are reading this, I urge you to go and promise you won't regret it.

Amazing Buffet - Edit
Buffet here was fully vegan and incredibly delicious. It’s a super cute place by the river with a temple view and lots of their vegetables are grown right out back so it’s really fresh. Owner was also really lovely to us and made sure we were well taken care of. Really loved this place.

Gorgeous view and delicious buffet - Edit
I can imagine that the a la carte menu is incredible because the buffet was amazing. All fresh and clean food! So good we went for three servings even though our tummy’s said stop hahaa. Overlooking their garden where they grow many of the herbs and vegetables you are eating. So so nice and relaxing, right on the Ping River overlooking Wat Chediliem. We would love to come back

Lovely food & lovely people - Edit
The food was delicious. We had to order 2 items from the menu each and could use the buffet for some side dishes. As it was afternoon they had a few choices such as 2 curries/soup, 1 tofu and veggies dish, 1 potato dish, rice and noodles. We were super stuffed at the end and paid 380 baht for 2 people. This includes a big coconut per person as well.

You have the buffet from which you can eat everything you want and as much as you want for only 140 baht and the flavors are AMAZING everything is so fresh and the owner brought us fresh salads from the garden and we even got a papaya salad afterwards (al included in the 140 baht it was insane!) and it was definitly the best papaya salad I ever tasted and everything was so fresh and the view was amazing. It’s awesome.

This place rocks.
Read moreThe location and view are unbeatable nothing else like it in Chiang Mai. Right on the Ping River with an open restaurant overlooking their organic veggie garden and an old temple on the other side of the river!
Food is great and not exactly the same as some of the other vego restaurants in town either which can be a bit the same. The owner is also very friendly.
It is very easy to find, you simply follow the river road from Chiang Mai going south through Chang Klan, keep the river on your left and it is impossible to miss it I promise you.
After you go under a bridge/road, its about another 200m on the left just before the sheik istana hotel (which is easy to find on google)

Great food - Edit
Read moreIt was a little bit hard to find, when you type the address into google maps it takes you to an alley with houses, but if you go down the road a little further you'll see the restaurant. The location is lovely with a nice view of the garden, and the food was spicy but very good!
Pros: Friendly , Good food, Not expensive
Cons: Spicy (if you don't like that), Little bit hard to find

Favorite Restaurant in Chiang Mai - Edit
Wonderful place! The food is delicious and the owners are kind. Food is bagged up in the evenings before close and is 60 baht per meal with rice. However, they give you so much food that I almost always get two meals out of it! I often get a fresh tomato, lettuce, or other veggies with my take away too!

Happy with Happy Green :) - Edit
What a lovely experience :D We just went there today and hung out for a couple hours, had a delicious meal that seemed quite healthy, too, and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon with a very nice view of the garden, and the majestic temple across the river. Exactly what we needed. The 2 ladies who worked there are very kind and speak enough English to have all our questions and requests answered. This little oasis is not to be missed! This place is open till 8 pm (20:00), by the way. Happy Cow says 6 pm, but I'll send them the update.
Read moreIt's basically an all you can eat buffet for 140 baht, and they have a menu as well. Drinks were separate. Yes, we enjoyed it and we'd like to go back. We left around sunset time, and that's when the mosquitoes started to show up. So, it seems like if you want to avoid mosquitoes, come before sunset time. The best weather in this hot season is before 4 pm. So the best time to enjoy Happy Green is between morning, and 3 pm, in my opinion. They also have some organic veggies for sale. We got a kilo of organic onions for 40 baht. They also sell coconuts that grow right there, in the garden, but those are 60 baht a pop, which is definitely up there. So I asked several times, and the ladies said it's ALL vegan. I'll send Happy Cow that update as well.
Pros: Organic, Adjacent Garden, Beautiful Temple View

Thanks for the update but are you sure this is correct. The buffet food is all vegan but the a la carte menu they always sold eggs upon request. Are you sure they have stopped doing this? They also sold goats milk in the fridge. Are you sure they have stopped doing this also? I will try to find out myself as soon as I can. I will be very happy if they have, but they hadn't when I was there a week or so ago...

Love it! - Edit
Definitely one of favourite places to eat :) my omni friend and I walked to here from the city centre because we were too cheap to pay for a taxi (please do not walk from the centre! we almost died!). Luckily we both found the food was definitely worth it and of course went up for seconds :) when we got there there were only a couple other people, so it was very peaceful. We stayed for more than a couple hours just lying down and enjoying the view.
Read morePros: Great food, as much as you want from buffet, Lovely staff, Very cheap!
