i would give this place 5 stars if happy cow would let me... - Edit
apparently happy cow has an (understandable) limitation on restaurants that are only "veg-options", meaning the most you can vote them is 4 stars. normally that would be enough, but the vegan options that the cat house does have had me coming back so much that it ended up being me and my friends (both vegan) second most frequented restaurant in 3 months living in chiang mai.
we actually got the impression that this place was a vegan restaurant with MEAT options, not the other way round. the menu seemed to be mostly vegan or vegetarian, and then you could choose to add beef, pork, chicken or tofu to it, or not, in which case they just give you more veges!
make sure you tell the staff you're vegan when you order though, so they know whats up, but it won't be a big deal.
i'd highly recommend the BURRITO and the BURMESE TEA LEAF SALAD. at the time we were there they had a Gado Gado as a special, and boy was it good too. i tried the lentil soup, the falafels, and the green salad and they were all incredible too. i could be forgetting something, but i can not forget how i was not only never disappointed with anything i ordered, but very very satisfied with it! everything.
in the fridges, they had some cold drinks including kombucha, which was a nice touch.
interestingly, they ONLY serve black rice here. normally you pay extra for this, but its standard here, which was awesome.
Pros: best salads!, very unique, must try burrito, free water with ICE

Mouth on Fire! - Edit
Currently sweating in oblivion as I attempt to get this Burmese salad down - wish there had been some warning from the staff or the menu but alas, I guess I'm in Thailand now right?
It definitely has flavour though, and I doubt I'll need another meal for a while because portions are enough for two!! Coconut, passion fruit, banana smoothie was also thick and creamy.
Pros: MASSIVE portions, nice staff & quick service, tasty
Cons: no warning of HEAT

Go the burrito! - Edit
While there's lots of meat on the menu many items can be veganised, just ask the staff. The burrito was huge and delicious, the eggplant chips were great too. I tried a cocktail but it wasn't very nice, so I recommend sticking to the food.
Pros: Burrito, Flexibility in their menu
Cons: Cocktails

Good breakfast, lunch and dinner - Edit
Cat House was in front of our guesthouse so we came here almost every day for breakfast.
The fruit, granola and yogurt is extremely filling. Vegans ask for soy yogurt.
Only had dinner here once but the red curry was great. It came with loads of brown rice and a side salad with scrumptious mango sauce
It's also a good and quiet place to work as they have free wifi. Highly recommended.
Pros: Vegan options , Nice staff, Free wifi

lots of vegetarian and vegan options - Edit
I called into Cat House Cafe for lunch ... I had the hummas falafel with a soy latte ... the quality and quanity of the food was very good and it was served quickly to my table ... Thai cafes/restaurants tend to cook falafels to resemble black golf balls however having said that after squashing then the falafels were delicious ... the bread and the hummas tasted both fresh and delicious ... staff were very friendly and attentive
Pros: lots of vegetarian and vegan options
Cons: serves meat

Not pricey, very delicious - Edit
Nice located in a quite street. We ordered a lot of main and side dishes and the taste was awesome! Vegan dishes are marked with a "V". My non-vegan parents were really impressed as well. The food came very fast and the price is very fair for what you get. The Burmese Salad was awesome! Definitely worth a visit!
Pros: quite location, All dishes were served at the same time and very q

My wife and I each had a vegan quesadilla and split pumpkin and sweet potato fries. We also each had a smoothie and split a piece of vegan coconut cream pie. Everything we had was great, and everything was very reasonably priced. Glad we found this place! Good vibe, and good wifi as well. Highly recommended, for sure.
Pros: Food taste great. , Free water and good wifi. , Food came very quick.
Cons: People smoking next to us. , There is a regular group that comes and takes up t

5 Stars! Screw Happy Cow rating system - Edit
A quiet little gem of a cafe. Tucked down a small road with plenty of seating and nice vibe. Also an awesome logo. Cathouse serves plenty of veg options including their amazing Burmese fermented tea leaf salad. The curry burrito with tofu is also very good and we've gone back for the deuce multiple times now. Peanut butter banana smoothie tasty as well. Reasonable prices, more expensive than your average little Thai place but less expensive than most Farang restaurants. Good size portions, always super fresh and clean. Highly recommend!

Great for vegans - Edit
This place has options for every meal to use tofu instead of chicken or pork. I'm not sensitive to cooking my food in the same pot as meat has been in, but if you are you should ask them about it.
The food was great and is a perfect place to bring your want-meat-friends.
I highly recommend the sweet potato fries. Woah.

Oh that Burrito! - Edit
Ate a super nice version of a burrito here! Came with a kind of Dahl on top and a pumpkin-passionfruit sauce for the salad. Also they have different sorts of vegetable french fries like zucchini and sweet potatoe.
Offer some sweets and nice smoothies aswell, prices are good. About the staff I'm not really sure... could be shy but could also be "not smiling" syndrom.
Pros: great taste, good prices

Nice - Edit
The food is nice and they can accommodate almost everything to be vegetarian or vegan. The menu is quite limited but they have a variety and some interesting and unique dishes. It's a nice place to sit in a great location just off the moat road in the old city. Foreigners like to come here and there is a nice atmosphere. Beer and wine are available.
Pros: Long opening hours, Serve alcohol
Cons: Menu a bit limited, Serves meat

Loved it! - Edit
Delicious! I had the tofu quesadilla with a side salad here tonight, and it was amazing. The restaurant serves mostly western eats like salads, wraps and nachos, along with some curries and a range of juices/smoothies. Although a non-veg restaurant you can choose pretty much all meals to be made vegetarian. Definitely a place that I'll visit again.
Pros: Friendly service, Reasonable prices, Great food
Cons: Menu a little limited

Great food, awesome owner - Edit
I love Cat House! Jacky is such a nice person and she really cares about the food she's serving. She bakes her own bread on site - which is why her sandwiches are so delicious! Anything on the menu can be made vegan or vegetarian. I especially love the pesto avocado sandwiches with homemade mayo, freshly fried sweet potato fries, mango lassi, spaghetti carbonara, and freshly baked brownies with ice cream.
Pros: delicious, authentic pesto, quaint
Good healthy food - Edit
I just discovered this place and am glad that I did. The emphasis is more on healthy than vegetarian, but very reasonable prices and a pleasant atmosphere with unique Western style health food recipes like burritos, salads and black bean chili.
Pros: unique recipes, tasty food, inexpensive for Western-type health food
Cons: no aircon
