Frommer's Review

Built in 1892 and one of the oldest original wooden structures in Chiang Mai, The Gallery is the most tranquil and romantic of the choice riverside restaurants on the eastern bank of the Mae Ping river. This was the auspicious spot where, during her visit to Chiang Mai in 1996, Hillary Clinton chose to set sail her Kratong, a small decorated bamboo float, as is custom during the Loi Kratong Festival. If the good senator gives her recommendation, it has to be good, right? And it is. I started with a small appetizer plate of "build-your-own" dishes that all required more origami skill than I could muster, but it was fun trying to figure it out with the help of a giggling staff. As an entree, the hor mok curry, a popular Chiang Mai dish, was delicious. Candlelight, soft Thai music and a great view of the river and the city's twinkling lights beyond top off a lovely evening of dining. Bring someone special.
