Lovely place good people great food

This place has a lovely athmosphere. The owners, a welcoming Thai/Swiss couple, are genuinely vegan out of compassion and seem to constantly work at perfecting their already wonderful menu. They offer Thai and western food no matter what your specifications are they are very flexible. They use pink Himalayan salt in their food now which I love too!

Amazing!

I rarely give 5 stars but this place wins! I enjoyed the extremely flavourful mushroom burger and my wife had the vegan Khao Soi. Hands down the best vegan food we have had in Chiang Mai, end of story.

Oh yeah, vegan ice cream was great too.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

great food - 100% recommend!

I can't recommend this place enough, the venue itself is super cute and the food is incredible! We had a papaya salad (was massive / 90 baht) and a mushroom burger with vegan mayo (150 baht). The menu is mostly all vegan and as it's not on a main road it wasn't crazy busy when we went.

COMPLETELY AMAZED!

This place is located in a beautiful and hip vegetarian hotel. The food is exquisite and so is the service and decor. I can't say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend staying at the hotel and having the pancakes for breakfast and mushroom burger for dinner. LOVE!

Cracking meal

Absolutely great food, had the mushroom burger, spicy cucumber salad, green curry and a pad thai, the last one was fairly ordinary but the rest was brilliant. And it's so ruddy cheap, we had a few scoops of ice cream at the end and it came to less than 600 baht. And we are very greedy.

Pros: Very polite and kind staff, Lovely garden, Good value

Cons: Koi carp don't have a big enough space to swim, I was unable to eat more than 4 dishes!!

The burger is to die for!

We have been staying at the guest house above, and have eaten a few meals here. The garden dining area is a welcome relief from the heat and bustle of the nearby city streets, and the food is excellent. The burger is hands down the best I've ever eaten! Would definitely recommend this place.

One of the best in Chiang Mai. Love it.

Reform Kafe serves vegan menu from 11 am and it's great. As somebody mentioned before, their burgers are fantastic. The burger comes with pickles (yum!) on a large plate with fries, mayo dip and fresh greens on the side; very good value for 150 baht, and it's very enjoyable AND filling. Definitely try it. Khao Soi and Som Tam are also the best ever. The service is nice and they generally have a few English speaking people around. It's a good place, and I hope they keep the quality. The only negative experience we had there was when a bunch of Chinese tourists came, and turned the whole scene into uncouth uncivilized zoo, yelling an acting like they were the only people there. That ruined our lunch date, but every other time was quite wonderful, so we will go back again, just hoping for a better timing next time. They also have Wifi, and it's basically on the same property as the Green Tiger House (guesthouse).

Get the burger

As the title states- you should get the burger. Legit one of the best burgers I have personally EVER had! Also had the fresh spring rolls (really tasty and light) and the Khao soi (like a noodle laksa- also amazing flavours and delicious). If you have a chance to get here, absolutely do it. Wonderful food, and lovely staff.

Great vegan restaurant, I highly recommend it. The place is clean, the portions are larger than at other vegan places and everything we tried was great. Try this place at least once!

Pros: Delicious food, Larger portions, Clean

Cons: More expensive but definitely reasonable and you g

Delicious vegan food with a calm atmosphere.

The food was amazing - we had the Burmese tea leaf salad, fresh spring rolls, mushroom burger, and khao soi, and some kombucha. You definitely should try the tea leaf salad and the mushroom burger (it reminded us of a healthy Big Mac but without the cruelty and dripping fat, sooo yummy). A little pricey compared to what we are used to but each dish cost 120-150 baht so not too bad. Like the other reviews say, the cleanliness of the restaurant and friendliness of the staff is unlike any other place in Chiang Mai. Wish we had time to go back again.

The atmosphere is calm only if Chinese tourists are not sitting nearby. Then forget about calm. Lots of yelling and quite uncivilized behavior is guaranteed.

best vegan restaraunt ever!

One of my favorite vegan restaraunts ever. Probably went 4-5 times while in chiang mai for a week. Khao soi was so good it was hard to order anything else. Juices were delicious. Atmosphere is beautiful and very calming and comfy, with benches and pillows. Felt very loving and happy vibes. Mango sticky rice and papaya salad too because duh you have to get it everywhere you go. Everything was impressive

Wow!! Best food ever!! 🐱☺️😊

I have been in Thailand for 2 months and this is the best food I have ever had.

The fresh sandwiches, the mushroom burger (best burger I have ever had!), the pesto fried rice, the 4 seasons smoothie and mango smoothie, and tea leaf salad are all Amazing!

I went there about 4 times on my stay in Chiang Mai. The staff are so sweet and kind too. Always smiling. So glad I found this place. Vegan or not, you will Love it. :)

Great food

Had the vegan Curry with brown rice and a Watermelon juice. The price is higher than on the street but that's to be expected. There's fans!

The café is inside the Green Tiger guesthouse so you'll see the guests lounging around the small pool. Ended up staying longer and working a bit since they had free wifi

Pros: vegan options

Cons: slightly more expensive

great atmosphere and amazing food

BEAUTIFUL PLACE, I think it has a perfect balance of coziness and chic. Done up very effortlessly.
The staff, beautiful smile and great ⚡ energy.
THE FOOD, I HAD THE KHAO SOI AND IT WAS AMAZING. I was so happy that it is so big, meaning I get to be in bliss for a longer time. Hahaha.
It was delicious, rich and tasty. Felt like a chiangmai party in my mouth. Ingredients were all fresh and natural.
Definitely making my way back

great tasting food in a very nice setting

called into Reform Kafe for a late lunch after finding another close-by restaurant closed ... lucky me ... I ordered fresh spring rolls ( ฿120) and massaman curry (฿100) with rice (฿20) ... the vegies in the spring rolls were tasty, fresh and crisp and the dipping sauce was farang pet ... the massaman curry was perfect with both the quality and quantity being excellent ... the chunky vegies were really great tasting and the curry was devine ... while not the cheapest in Chiang Mai the massaman curry at Reform Kafe provides very good value for money ... the restaurant was clean and cool with friendly and attentive staff

Pros: lots of vegan options

Amazing

An amazing addition to Chiang Mai's vegan scene. The menu is now completely vegan if you eat after 11.00 AM. They still serve eggs in the hotel breakfast in the morning. After this time, it's all vegan including the mayonnaise that is served with the wedges etc. The prices aren't cheap but the portions are very generous and the setting is one of the loveliest places around. Very cozy and pretty. A very special place to eat with a nice range of Thai and Western choices. Try the vegan burger or the mushroom sandwich.

Lovely place, great meals

We stayed at the Green Tiger House for a couple nights during our stay in Chiang MAi and were quite pleased. We are here a few times because it was convenient and delicious. Lots of vegan options, including banana pancakes for breakfast! So good. Enjoyed everything, just would have liked to see it all vegan- (no eggs, vegan alternative to carbonara pasta sauce, etc).

Pros: Great menu, Incredible garden vibe, Breakfast, lunch, dinner and smoothies

Cons: Not all vegan

A real gem of Chiang Mai!

We've visited pretty much all the veggie/vegan places in Chiang Mai. Although the food they offer is pretty good, ALL of them lack aesthetic appeal and beauty. Dirty toilets, old and often dirty tables, cheap plates, etc. So we've been dreaming of finding a vegan place we would really enjoy. And Reform Cafe is the one! In fact, it's the only one! The restaurant itself is spacious and you don't feel like everyone is sat on top of each other. The place is absolutely beautiful with a calm, unique atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and ready to cater for your needs (we asked not to put certain ingredients in our salads and it was not a problem at all). The restaurant is clean, the salads are great and big. The food is served quick and presented really well. This is the ONLY veggie restaurant in Chiang Mai with a clean toilet, surroundings and beautiful design! Absolutely and definitely recommend this place before you go anywhere else. We'll be coming back again and again for sure and are grateful that we've found such a gem of a place to eat out!

The only thing I'd recommend to the owner is to add healthy boiled/steamed veggies, steamed sweet potato and perhaps quinoa to the menu so people who don't eat complex meals can go for healthier plain steamed vegan options with no oil, salt, soy, etc. I've seen this at another veggie restaurant in Chiang Mai and would really appreciate it if Reform Kafe offered the same option. Also, to serve a salad dressing on the side of the salad as some people don't eat oils and vinegar. That would be awesome!

Pros: Clean, beautiful, quet, rejuvenating, friendly, Food is served quickly and according to your needs, The salads are good size

Cons: More simple steamed options of the menu, not fried
