DINING
Each evening you can meander through our 'city' and
choose a new dining experience. We offer marvelous settings inspired
by the history of Lanna and cuisine that has gained both an international
and highly valued local reputation.
Le Grand Lanna is a renowned
Chiang Mai establishment for authentic Thai cuisine; our Mediterranean
restaurant is such a delight and nowhere creates dim sum delicacies
as we do in Fujian.
During the day there is always a soothing
view, a shady terrace and poolside service. Below we have detailed our
dining options but the choice is only limited by your imagination. We
are delighted to create private dining to your personal brief, from
a torch lit barbecue in your villa to a candlelit dinner amidst the
paddy fields.

veranda overlooking the traditional Kad Dhara Shopping Village and private
dining available for 2 to 50 guests. Fujian has a rich atmosphere decorated
in a prosperous style with many rare pieces from our art and antiques
collection. The cuisine also meets the finest tastes.
Throughout
Chiang Mai we are renowned for our lunchtime dim sum, fragrant delicacies
presented in bamboo steamers. The evening menu lists a variety of Chinese
regional cooking styles from classic Cantonese to the more spicy cuisine
from Sichuan province with many contemporary innovations. In keeping
with the Chinese 'family style' meal, portions are served individually
on the finest bone china.
Fujian takes its name from the prosperous
Chinese province which is famous for its black tea. Our diners are invited
to enjoy a 'tea tasting' during their meal, comprised of some of the
best teas from Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi's extensive tea collection.
Le Grand Lanna We welcome you to the fine experience
of dining in a Lanna nobleman's home. We have created a traditional
setting to showcase classic Thai and northern Lanna style cuisine.
Beneath the sweep of rain trees, guests dine overlooking a mature
tropical garden bursting with crested hibiscus, palms, orchids and pungent
jasmine. Choose our terrace, cooled by mist-spraying fans or our air-conditioned
salons decorated with art and antiques from around the region. Private
dining is available for up to 30 guests.
Each evening members
of our cultural team give an hour performance of music and traditional
dance. Le Grand Lanna has a distinguished reputation amongst discerning
locals for which we are proud.
Akaligo Views are across our landscaped gardens,
from where the hum of cicadas rises up to fill the evening. The interior
is chic and cool.
