Good food open nice and late. - Edit
The food is delicious. I loved the mushrooms and tofu in the Pad Thai.
Read moreIt was nice to have a vegan lassi. One of my favourite drink in the world and it's usually hard to find a vegan one.
I also had cake. The total was 400 Baht
Pros: Lassi, Good food, Open nice and late
Cons: A bit pricey

Nice but overpriced cocktails - Edit
We had a few nice (but overpriced) drinks, also the zucchini fries were super crispy and tasty but were cut too thick

Good and less good - Edit
There stuff here that’s really great, and some disappointments or things that just don’t align with our taste.
Read moreThings we like:
- power wrap (my partner’s favourite lunch)
- the pastas (ravioli with napoli sauce, rigatoni with pumpkin sauce)
- garlic bread bruscetta
What I liked less:
- falafel bowl (the falafel is very different from what I would say is falafel, although it’s not bad, just way more acidic. Also to me the taste of the ingredients didn’t match well)
- the smoothies, they use frozen fruit (so not possible no-ice lower quality taste), we will not order those here again
Will probably return here multiple times and keep updating the list😄

Beautiful green courtyard - Edit
I'm a huge fan of their pancakes, vegan and gluten-free by default (the dream!). The garden inside is beautiful, ideal setting to enjoy delicious food. My husband went for a bowl which was very nice too. We saw a bar inside with musical instruments, suggesting the restaurant turns into a lively venue in the evening. To bear in mind: the time of the day you decide to go will therefore have an impact on the type of ambiance you get!

Beautiful garden space - Edit
Very cool there's such a large vegan bar here! Large covered garden space at the back. We just had drinks and dessert. Got one of the only cocktails that had a Thai spirit! More expensive than other vegan places in CM but still inexpensive by western standards.

Excellent centrally located vegan restaurant in Chiang Mai - Edit
I came here multiple times during my trip to Chiang Mai mainly because it is centrally located near Tha Phae Gate but also because it consistently provided good food. There is a nice garden out the back where you can eat or you can eat indoors, which has stylish red neon lights. There are clean toilets here and there is no surcharge for the use of credit or debit cards. An excellent place in Chiang Mai.

Great vegan food, also an indoor/outdoor bar that is open late which is fun - Edit
It is really nice when you want a night club/bar type of feel when you go out - and you want to eat vegan - to have a place like this. Nice decor inside, has live music on Thursday nights, and many tables along the sidewalk for outdoor seating. They also have many of their own original cocktails, which adds to the 'nice night out' vibe.
Read moreI ordered too much because I wanted to taste everything, it was all great, and they gave me a take out container to take my leftovers with me, which I ended up eating the next night when I got to the Thai/Lao border late at night.
The vegan feta salad was amazing, the grilled mushroom sandwich really tasty and the vegan burger made from beets and other stuff was excellent, as where the fries that came with it.
I had a cherry flavored cocktail which was rich in taste and not too sugary sweet and also ordered a Schwepps Lemon-Lime that I mixed with it once I drank part of it straight.

Dear Mike, sorry for the late reply and thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are truly happy to hear you enjoyed both our indoor bar area and the garden dining space, and that they both suited your late-night vibe perfectly.

Read moreWe are super happy that our signature cocktails stood out for you, especially the cherry-flavored one with your creative mix with Schweppes Lemon-Lime!
It also makes us happy to hear you loved the vegan feta salad, grilled mushroom sandwich, beetroot burger, and fries. We are pleased we could pack your leftovers for the road so you could enjoy them later.

Trifecta - Edit
The cooler older sibling of the Goodsouls triplets, this spot is ideal for a cosy date night or chilled out evening out with a group. You have a choice between velour sofas and neon lighting in the swanky bar area, and the titular garden at the back, complete with pond and natural greenery. Open until midnight, you can enjoy good food, drinks and live music late into the evening.
Read moreThough not identical, the menu is very similar to the other Goodsouls locations, including classics like their famous mushroom burger, stone baked pizza menu and range of homemade cakes. I’ve been here A LOT and will let the (many, many) photos speak for themselves.
Highlights:
Mushroom burger
Power wrap
Green juice
Spinach and cheese pizza
Chocolate lover cake
Green forest mocktail
Pros: Best Western food in the area 🏆, Extensive menu 🍴, Live music 🎶
Cons: Mosquitoes in the garden 🦟

Dear Cha-Em,
Read moreThank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review of Downtown Vegan Garden. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your impressions from your many visits.
Although Downtown Vegan Garden is the newest addition to the Goodsouls family, you've perfectly captured its identity as a more refined and stylish venue that still retains a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.
Whether you prefer relaxing indoors on our comfortable sofas or spending time in our garden surrounded by lush greenery and the pond, we are delighted that you've recommended us for intimate tête-à-tête evenings or casual gatherings with friends.
As you noticed, our menu shares many similarities with our other locations. This was intentional, as we aimed to include the most popular and beloved dishes from across our venues.
Please note that we stopped offering pizzas at the end of last year to make room for new menu items. Additionally, we've adapted our opening hours and now close at 11:00 pm.
Thanks again for visiting frequently and for capturing your experiences through your lovely photos. It’s always wonderful seeing our space through your eyes. Thank you as well for highlighting some of your favourites. We are so happy to see a mix of familiar favourites and indulgent picks on your list. It's always a joy to know which dishes and drinks leave a lasting impression.
We truly look forward to welcoming you back again soon and sharing another warm and memorable dining experience with you.

Nice tofu pad thai - Edit
I had the pad thai. It was nice but I didn’t like the mushrooms. The pond inside the restaurant is a really nice touch, evening vibes are great here! I’m coming back soon to try the breakfast pancakes.

Amazing food in the center of Chiang Mai! 😋 - Edit
What a beautiful restaurant in the center of Chiang Mai! There’s an area where you can sit whenever there’s live music playing and when you venture deeper there’s a garden-centric dining area to sit and enjoy meals. After a long day in Chiang Rai, I wanted nothing more than to sit and eat some delicious Khao Soi only for the two other places I had in mind to close half an hour earlier than what Google noted (note: the kitchen doesn’t close at whatever time Google says, expect places to close half an hour before with people having to leave said restaurant at the Google time). I decided on this place due to its proximity to my accommodation and its high rating and I was not disappointed! Such a beautiful place with chill vibes. A perfect place if you want to bring family or friends either for dinner or drinks and live music. The food was amazing (albeit a bit expensive, their Khao Soi was 120 THB which is on the higher end of the scale) and left me satisfied! I highly recommend stopping by! #Veganuary
