Average vegetarian food - Edit
We ordered 6 different plates and I would say that half of the food was good and half was just ok. We thought that the burgers would be good but the patty was very small compared to the big bun so it tasted just dry bread! On the other hand, the homemade pizza was delicious (there are vegan options). Another thing I didn't like is that our plates arrived one by one so we couldn't eat together! It was too long between each plate! I would not recommend it!
Read morePros: nice vibes, music etc., lot of choices with pictures in the menu, cheap pizza
Cons: long waiting time to be serve , ordinary food

It just wasn´t good.. - Edit
We stopped in Peppermaint for late lunch today, I picked Som Tam (Green papaya salad) and my partner chose Avocado burger. My salad was ok, except one thing - I said It could be made spicy, but what they brought to me was almost unedible. Superextremely spicy, I found 6 bird´s eye chillies in the portion. Maybe chef tried to make fun from me, when I orderd it spicy :-).
Read moreWhat was worse was my partner´s burger. Bun was chewy and very yeasty (the taste of fresh yeast, if you can imagine what I mean :-)..), "burger" itself was cold, 3 mm thick brownish mass of something with some oats. Mashed avo, letucce, slice of tomato and carrot made it slightly better. It was served with four potato vedges and set of ketchup and mustard plastic bottles.
Fruit and spinach shake was good.
Staff is really nice.

Pros: Nice staff, nice place, Shake was good.., Papaya salad would be good without tons of chilli

rotten vegetables - Edit
The lady that works there was extremely nice and speaks good English. I ordered vegetable stir fry. It was bland, soggy and I felt rotten taste of the vegetables! It was so disgusting, I just paid and left. The prices were overall too high for what they serve, so I won’t give them another chance. I discovered Nice cafe just few meters away that serves great tasting fresh organic vegetables for even lower prices.

One of my favorite places in Chiang Mai - Edit
I've eaten here a handful of times since coming to Chiang Mai. Incredibly sweet lady who runs it. Lots of vegan options. The stir fries are great and served with basmati rice. Pumpkin soup is delish as well as the pumpkin in coconut milk. Lots of options for juices. Great prices 60-70 baht per dish. Cute little cats running around. She also offers a cooking class, it's offsite for 800 baht 1/2 day and 1100 baht full day through Smile Organic Farms.
Read morePros: Great prices, big portions , many vegan options
Cons: none that I can think of

Loved it! - Edit
I had my breakfast everyday during 4 days at Peppermaint. My pancake was the size of the plate, full of fresh fruits : ananas, mango, banana, dragon fruit and papaya + a huge cup of black coffee.
Read moreThe prices were correct, the two owners were so nice, and the place perfect to relax and chill.
If I go back to Chiang mai, I would definitely go back to Peppermaint again.
Pros: Worth the price, big portions, good value, Calm, welcoming place, Friendly staff
Cons: Nothing

Swimming in Oil - Edit
Had the Pad See Ew for dinner and was pretty disappointed unfortunately - veggies were bland and boring (think: soggy cabbage) and the whole dish was having a nice bath in a pool of oil (when it's explicitly visible to the eye you know it's a bit too much).
Read moreReally would've been nice to like this place as the staff are sweet! But wouldn't come here again when there are so many surrounding fresh & tasty veg places at the same price.
Pros: nice staff
Cons: super oily, boring veggies

first intro to Chiang Mais food scene - Edit
It seems a few travellers hit this place when they first get here as it seems to tick all of the boxes and we're always hungry aren't we! Well it completely exceeded our expectations. We had the pizza and muesli with fruit and coconut milk. Both absolutely delicious, I'd been really hankering after museli on our travels and this place gave me the treat I was after. Had to stop my partner from getting another pizza as I couldn't finish my massive bowl either! Lovely lady who owns it, beautiful kitten and great place.

Massive, delicious portions, wonderful staff. - Edit
Our first meal in Chiang Mai - wow! Gorgeous little place. The staff are super friendly. We ordered the khao soi, long bean salad, morning glory, and the tom jued (thinking that for 70 baht each they would be small portions). Seriously yummy and filled up our empty tummies. Very impressed.

The BEST food in Chiang Mai - Edit
We visited the restaurant many times during our stay in Chiang Mai and absolutely fell in love with this place. Usually we like to try new places but after coming across this gem we were set for the rest of our stay! It's got a fantastic range of completely vegetarian and vegan food as well as home baked breads and for a little more than that price of street food! The ladies who work here are the most genuinely lovely and accomodating people we've met. We'll miss this place but will be back in a heartbeat given the opportunity. Try the tofu burger with avocado!

Not that tasty - Edit
I met people who had dinner there and recommended it. I went there for breakfast and was really disappointed. I ordered a shake without sugar which came sugared and an oatmeal with fruits which came without oats. The fruit amount was also disappointing. The staff was quite unfriendly and lazy. There are so many incredible nice and tasty vegan restaurants in Chiang Mai, you don't have to choose this one. Don't know for the dinner though.

Puzzling and irritating experience - Edit
My husband and I noticed that this restaurant had vegan options so we decided to give it a go. I ordered the vegan burger and my husband the soup. The soup came without a hitch, but my " burger" arrived, and it was a whole grain bun with mashed avocado inside. That's it. Oh, and a side of lettuce with a few sliced tomatoes and cumumbers.
Read moreFrom my experience, a burger consists of having a patty sandwiched in the bread. Am I wrong?
I also asked for tofu when ordering the burger, but all I got was a bun with guacamole essentially.
So I asked for tofu to be added and they happily came back with a bun filled with tofu and onions, and of course avocado. I took a bite and it tasted very much like butter, so I asked if there was butter in it, and the lady says yes the tofu was cooked in butter, so I said I wont eat it because I am vegan, that is why I ordered the vegan burger.
She claimed that the cook was new.
Fast forward to my husband paying the bill. ( I am waiting outside) They wanted us to pay for the entire bill. My husband said no, so they charged us for half of the burger because they claim I ate half of it ( I did not) she then tells him that the butter was vegan and brings out the container that has the Jay (Thai vegan) symbol on it. So the entire time it was vegan butter!!
If she had just explained that to me, I would had continued eating my " burger" even though I was not impressed.
So now I'm really really not impressed. Terrible service, and poor communication.
If you visit peppermaint guesthouse and restaurant, do not order the vegan burger, because it's just a sandwich with mashed avocado in it.
Just awful.
Pros: The beer was good
Cons: The vegan burger is not a burger , Awful service ,

Hidden little gem - Edit
This restaurant is amazing. The old Thai lady who seems to run this place is really friendly, affectionate and speaks English. I had the green curry meal with brown rice and it is the best meal I had in thailand so far. For the size of the meal you get the prices are cheap. Would go there every time if I visit Chiang Mai again. Atmosphere of the place is a bit like every Thai-restaurant, bit a bit more lovely, so if that is not what you like I wouldn't recommend to go there.

Service nicht vorhanden, genau wie der Geschmack des Essens - Edit
Hatten den veganen Burger, der auf den ersten Blick gut aussah. Sogar das Brötchen scheint hausgemacht zu sein. Nur bestand der Belag zu 90% aus Blattsalat 3 dünnen Streifen Tofu, etwas Gurke, unreife Tomate und Zwiebel. Sonst war leider nichts drauf, was Geschmack hätte abgeben können. Das Ketchup, was auf dem Tisch stand war eigentlich leer, also musste ich erst einmal neues einfordern. Die Bedienung meinte nur, dass es keins mehr gibt. Ließ uns damit zurück. Dann kam der nächste Angestellte, der uns etwas Ketchup in einem Schälchen gab. War eine trockene Angelegenheit..
Read morePros: Lage?!, veganes klar ausgeschildert , guter Tee

zero stars!! - Edit
Under horrible management, guys. We ate here once, ordering two fruit/muesli/coconut breakfasts (tiniest portions ever, go down the road to "nice kitchen" for 3X the size for the same price), but i'm writing this review due to our latest visit, and the management literally YELLED at us while we left. We specifically asked if they had just toast and strawberry jam before placing our order (we had a craving), which she said they did. We asked for no butter, just jam, as we are vegan. and when we received it, we got hardly toasted bread with butter. I brought this to her attention, she seemed helpful enough, but not apologetic. She brings us marmalade. Dude, when you ask for strawberry jam during an intense craving, and you get marmalade, your heart significantly breaks. But the toast and jam are beside the point, the way they conducted themselves was very aggressive and unacceptable. We paid for our two coffees to the man who also runs the place, and he seemed fine, but the lady began to (I kid you not) SCREAM at us, and as she got more flustered, so did her husband. We have never before experienced such unprofessionalism. They told us to "never return" over this toast and jam debacle, and i can assure them, there's so many other places down this one road, more worthy of our (and your) dollars. As much as we want to support a vegan(or vegetarian in this case) establishment, we can't support their unprofessional attitude towards their customers.

Not the best buffet - Edit
We went for the vegan buffet which is 120 baht the same as nearby Gap's House. It consisted of some rather tasteless spring rolls, some laab, bit of salad and then four Thai curries. The curries were quite watery and loaded with not much more than potatoes. They were also almost finished even though we did not go late. They did replenish them but not very speedily. We did go in high season but we found they were not too great at coping with the rate of customers. They also charged us an extortionate rate for a simple bottle of soda, almost three times what it costs in 7-11, I could not see the justification in that. At least water was free. The Thai lady does seem very lovely and accommodating even though she was slow to serve us. You can fill your plate up for the 120 baht if you don't mind waiting for them to refill but you don't normally expect to wait for a buffet. I'm not sure that I would hurry back.
Read morePros: Cheap, Central location, Buffet is entirely vegan
Cons: Slow, Food runs out, Over-priced soft drinks
