terrific lassi and burger - Edit
I loved the small cozy garden and my mushroom burger was epic. Passion fruit lassi was also a mind melter. I’m new to veganism but if this is what’s in store for me, I’m excited!

Smooth and zen environment - Edit
Imagine smooth jazz softly playing and running into your ears like the water feature filled with koi fish. The environment is by far my favourite in Chiang Mai or at least a close tie with "Free Bird Café" (though definitely cheaper than Free Bird). Though the menu is "farang" there are some incredibly beautiful thai dishes that are fresh and healthy and will leave you feeling fully saited. The drinks are a real treat and the Lassus are amazing! So special to be able to have vegan yogurt in a beautiful fruit drink. Definitely recommend, even just for a drink or snack.

It's cosy, nice food - Edit
It's a very pleasant place to sit.
Read moreThe spring rolls were delightful with a sweet peanut sauce. The minced mushroom laab was ok, the mushrooms should of been cut finer for a larb. The glass noodle salad was good and the penne arrbiata was also equally good.
It's not always easy to get a restaurant that does Thai and European really well.
Had the banana choco smoothie and they were able to swap the almond for coconut milk too.
Pros: really nice place to sit, able to do great thai and european

Amazing - Edit
It’s just delicious. I had the Khau soi and it was incredible, we also shared the mushroom burger which was good but nothing like as flavourful and lovely as the noodle soup. Highly recommended

Our favourite place in Chiang Mai - Edit
People are not lying about that mushroom burger - it is seriously good, so toothsome and full of flavour. The passion fruit lassi is also incredible. Staff are so lovely and service was excellent. I wish I lived in Chiang Mai so I could eat here every day, can’t recommend enough

Amazing food and great place to stay! - Edit
I stayed at Green Tiger House for a month in December 2017 and ate at Reform Kate (part of the same place but open to all) every day for breakfast, most dinners and some smoothies in between! This is a really special place with amazing staff who are all so kind and will do anything to ensure your stay is comfortable. For vegans and non-vegans I would definitely recommend the restaurant as the food is amazing and the setting lovely. It is easy to find and in the old city. Favourites for breakfast were the scrambled tofu and muesli in coconut yoghurt. And through the day all the food is amazing but I particularly loved the Burmese tea leaf salad, mushroom burger, and the linguini puttanesca. Oh and the Four Seasons smoothie and mango sticky rice! Would definitely recommend to stay and/ or eat - enjoy :)

Fresh food and garden ambience - Edit
Beautiful fresh fruit smoothies and a mixture of choices for main. I visited twice and tried the pesto pasta (divine creamy cashew pesto sauce) and the Koh Soi (traditional Thai noodle soup made with coconut cream and lemongrass) which was full of flavour! Be careful the noodle bowls are massive and I struggled to even get half way through! So nice to chill on the patio with trees and a water fountain, highly recommend.

Nice place and food - Edit
This restaurant is part of a hotel. So without knowing this we first struggled a bit findig it... but once you know it’s easy to find ;)
Read moreMake sure you’re hungry coz these portions will definitely fill your tummy!
Food was amazing and quality and size justified the prices. We’ve had the Pad Thai, Papaya salad and Burger. Thai food was very fresh & the papaya salad came with loads of cashews on top. Thai food was okay but not mind blowing... while the burger was very nice. Not too exciting when it comes to exotic sauces and toppings but I’ve never had such a nice mushroom patty before!
And the latte macchiato with coconut milk was a dream!
Cons: they have a fish pond around the area that’s way t

Best burger and fries ever! - Edit
It's been said, but I will say it again: go for the mushroom burger with the fries!
Read moreService is a bit slow so we had to wait quite a while for it, but it's amazing. My non-vegan boyfriend was very impressed as well.
I went back the next day to get the burger again, and I usually never eat this kind of stuff.
Pumpkinsoup is also highly recommended.
Restaurant is very cute, nice and relaxed dining.
My favourite place in Chiang Mai so far.
Pros: Burger and fries , Relaxed garden terras, Burger and fries
Cons: Slow service

Muy bonito lugar... - Edit
Se trata de un bello espacio rodeado de verde. Pedimos con mi pareja sopa de coco y hongos y resultó deliciosa. El helado de chocolate es muy rico. La copa de kombucha era muy pequeña y muy cara. La atención es un poco lenta. Los precios en general son altos, aunque es una buena opción si estás por la zona.

Good food, super slow service - Edit
I was looking forward to eating here with my wife based on all the glowing reviews. Unfortunately, the slow service and attitude of the staff ruined what could have been an amazing meal.
Read moreWe ordered our entire meal in one go with one lady who was nice and bubbly and looked like she took down our whole order on a notepad. It took a solid 10 minutes to get our drinks. About 20 minutes later another lady comes over and asks us to repeat our food order. This lady does not have a notepad, but we tell her everything we want which is not complicated. Another 20 minutes go by and we ask a third lady who has been going by our table to deliver food to other tables several times if our starters are coming soon. She goes off and comes back with the excuse that it is very busy and there are 2 other tables with orders before us. Not a big fan of excuses, so this was when we started getting grumpy. However, we just politely said ok thanks and continued waiting. We finally get our starters about 45 minutes after we ordered it and the mains came in at around 1 hour.
One more thing that kind of irked us was I had been considering ordering dessert as I saw some nice things on the menu, but as we were finishing our mains I noticed that our bill was already taped to the side of the table. Not sure who put it there, but I thought they should have at least asked us if we wanted the bill. This is the first time the bill has been delivered this way after being in Thailand for over two weeks.
We had the fresh spring rolls as a starter and it was pretty standard and good. Portion size was nice and the sauce was tasty. We both had the fettuccine with mushroom and cream sauce and this dish was amazing. If they added a bit more vegetables it would have been even better.
So I'm sure all the best reviews are from nights when the service was on point, but that wasn't the case when we went, which is unfortunate because it is a nice restaurant with a good vibe. With so many other good vegan restaurants around Chiang Mai I am not sure we will eat again at Reform Kafe for fear of receiving service like this again.
Pros: Good food, atmosphere, location
Cons: service

Dear veganairman,
Read moreThank you for taking the time to share your experience during your recent visit at our restaurant.
The slow service you experienced was due the fact that we have recently been much busier than expected during certain hours. We are currently hiring more staff and will limit the number of tables available when necessary during peak hours, so we can provide a speedier service.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and unusual slow service.
Thank you again for your feedback and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or comments.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Loved everything but the food - Edit
Beautiful ambiance. Incredibly nice and accommodating staff. But the food was a let-down.
Read moreThe tom kha hed I ordered was well-seasoned, but the veggies were all a bit off: tomatoes and mushrooms were somewhat overcooked and soft, while the lemongrass was very, very woody. That's fine when it's cut into big chunks which you can avoid, but this stuff was finely cut. Between it and the bay leaves, I ended up discreetly spitting about a quarter of my soup into my napkin. Similarly, the green beans in a stir fry I ordered were quite chewy, not tender.
Maybe the quality of the ingredients was off for seasonal/crop reasons, and it wasn't the kitchen's fault. Or perhaps this is just something I'm not understanding about Thai cuisine? If so, apologies. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but this place had so many five-star plaudits, I figured I should throw in a dissenting voice. For my money, it's overrated.
Pros: Beautiful ambiance, Nice staff
Cons: Mediocre food for the price

One of Chiang Mai's most exciting developments - Edit
Reform was one of my favourite places to eat - I ate their Pad Thai, Khao Soi and Spaghetti Napoletana and it was all grand.
Read moreReform is attached to the Green Tiger Guesthouse, a vegetarian hotel. Consequently, it has a wonderful warm environment that's perfect for date night.
What really made this place special to me was chatting to Daniel, the owner. When I ordered an iced chocolate which was less than satisfactory, Daniel was thrilled to take my feedback on board. It was awesome to see customer feedback actually valued.
Later, I learned that Daniel was a lifelong vegetarian and has been vegan for 6 months (as of November 2017). In addition to having veganised Reform's menu, he's slowly working on veganising his vegetarian hotel as well. He came across as incredibly passionate and knowledgeable (we had a fascinating chat about Thailand's elephant tourism industry). I'm really excited to see where Daniel takes his passion and this business.

They have beer and fries with coconut mayo; the vegan ice cream with espresso is to die for!

Western and authentic Thai.
