Superb food. Lovely place. Healthy

Pumpkin soup! Actually everything was super tasty. Good music. Nice atmosphere. Right by the river. Plants and natural wooden furniture. It's basically open air but there are no mosquitos because of all the lemongrass growing nearby. All in all a great experience.

Bali vibes in Pai

Wow! What a beautiful experience.

The food is amazing, it tasted great, clean and was very healthy.
They only had 3 vegetarian dishes and EVERYTHING else was vegan : ) so I was very happy, I had a lot of choices.
The traditional dishes were enhanced with their own signature flair, so even the green curry tasted new, unusual and extremely delicious. Kudos to the chef, she know what she's doing her 20+ years of experience are reflected in the food.

The deco and and ambience of the restaurant is 5*. The layout is minimal chic with an emphasis on the natural world, bringing a touch of beautiful Bali vibes to Pai. It's a great, intimate, riverside setting for dates, celebrations as well as social dinners.

I really enjoyed the live music and fire show 😁

Friendship is more than just a restaurant, I went there to eat alone and spent the evening speaking to people from all around the world. I love the idea of breaking bread and sharing conversation on a big table with friends and strangers.

Pros: Vegan food selection - diverse, The scenery, plants cover the restaurant, View, it's on the Pai river

Cons: Wish it was open more often!

Beautiful vegan Thai Cuisine

Amazing restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere and heart warming vibe. The food is 10/10 and has a very popular Thai chef who owns a cooking school as seen in lonely planet helping create fantastic vegan Thai dishes! A great place to meet people, hang out and use as a work space.

Great buffet!

Loved the buffet here. A shame not everything is vegan, but it is all labelled and there is still plenty of choice. Live music in the evening was a nice touch too, and some lovely seating facing or next to the river.

Nice atmosphere, but not the best

It's 129 baht for the buffet now, and to be honest, I didn't really find it worth the price. Beverages are quite expensive too. There is much better food in Pai. But the atmosphere is really nice!

Pros: Beautiful, river view, sometimes life music, , Nice staff

Cons: Quite expensive, Not too many options at the buffet

Favourite place in Pai

This was my favourite place to eat in Pai, mainly because of their large buffet selection for such a cheap price. Reminded me of being back at home having a summer bbq with almost bbq style food like salads, corn on the cob, chips etc. The potato soup is sooo good, kinda reminiscent of KFC potato and gravy. They also have different curries and salads available every night (I ate here almost every night in Pai). Mostly vegan with the exception of one or two dishes, and staff are great. It’s also right on the river and can be quite a romantic spot to devour an all you can eat buffet lol. For 99 baht you’re really getting your moneys worth.

Also, the opening hours are a little off, the buffet is advertised to start at 6:30pm on the sign outside

Pros: Really cheap, Great location , Large selection

Another universe in Pai

I’ve been traveling to different countries for work. The experience I lived there really made me forget about the environment around. The food is good yes, even really good. It’s clean and vegetarian how I like it. But the atmosphere you feel at friendship concept restaurant is something. A band is playing live every night, the lighting is just perfect and brings you to another world. Congratulations to the owners young and dynamic that are making this little part of Pai a different universe.

Pros: Food, Live music every night, The team is just perfect

Cons: That I couldn’t stay longer....

Best food and service ive ever had

When i was there, there was an all you can eat buffet for just 100 baht and it was so amazing. You could choose between salads, curries, noodles and even more fruits and rice with fried tofu or mushrooms. The service was great too. The chef made exclusive fried vegetables and all in all they were very kind to you. You felt so welcoming there. The two owners made a good job in this restaurant. And later in the evening there was live music aswell. So 10/10 i would come back again.

Pros: Everything vegetarian and lots of vegan stuff

Beautiful restaurant on the river

Very recently opened Vegan and vegetarian restaurant serving delicious Thai food with generous portions and reasonably priced, and the cocktails are addictive! The staff are attentive and super friendly especially the adorable Dum. We found that although there are many vegan stalls in the night market, there are few restaurant options. Friendship Concept is wonderful, offering a great dining experience.

Pros: Delicious Thai food, Gorgeous staff, Wonderful ambience

Cons: None
