If I’m celebrating a birthday or the end of
exams with friends, I’ll treat myself and
book a table at Bibi’s Italian restaurant,
which has art nouveau décor and
excellent waiting service. They have a
great cocktail menu and a central bar
area for pre-dinner drinks. It is a great
excuse to get dressed up.
For a reminder of that great summer
trip to Thailand, I’ll spend a nostalgic
evening in the Thai Edge on Millennium
Square, which has a gorgeous menu of
well-priced dishes to suit every taste. The
restaurant is also nicely decorated with
Buddha statues, elephants and orchids,
and if I don’t look out the window too
much I can imagine I’m back in Chiang
Mai for the night.

at Oranaise Café, which
specialises in North African
food, and have a Mezze platter
or tapas to share with friends.
The food is delicious and
good quality too, with fresh
ingredients to add to your fivea-day. They also sell a range
of cakes and desserts, like baklava, to
transport you to Turkey when it’s raining
and cold!
