Tucked away in the creative hub of Lhong Him Kaw in San Khlang, Meena is a rustic countryside retreat just outside Chiang Mai. The restaurant is best known for its bright five-coloured rice, served with home-style Thai and northern Thai dishes, including unique creations such as pork ribs with longan curry – a spicy, rich and subtly sweet dish. The open-air setting surrounded by greenery is conducive to slow, relaxed dining. Save room for the array of longan desserts.
