Where to Eat & Drink in Yangon

There aren't many restaurants catering to tourists outside of hotels in Mandalay. We found only one worth mentioning. There are probably more.

Black Canyon

This Thai restaurant chain opened their first branch in Myanmar at the end of 2004. The location is excellent, in the grounds of the old International Hotel, within sight of the Shwedagon Pagoda. The menu is Black Canyon's standard offering of authentic Thai cuisine, with a sprinkling of western foods such as soups, sandwiches and salads. In addition to food, Black Canyon offers an extensive drinks menu with a full ranch of hot and cold coffees, as well as tea and fruit juices. [December 2005]

Monsoon

Located on Theinbyu Road, just around the corner from the Strand Hotel, this colonial shop house serves a menu offering a selection of Southeast Asian dishes. The menu features pages for Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Expect to pay about 3,000 Kyats per person, without alcohol. Telephone +95 1 295 224. [December 2005]
