Aum Vegetarian Restaurant

If you didn’t skip the intro, you’ll know this is Chiang Mai’s OG veggie spot. Three generations strong, Aum is the only vegetarian restaurant on our list (the rest are guaranteed vegan) but the menu is extremely vegan-friendly and, more importantly, started the meat-free dining movement in Chiang Mai over 40 years ago. But don’t let the age concern you. Their current incarnation is found in the family’s own house adjacent to Wua Lai Road, where delicious veggie and vegan versions of Thai favourites are served with love, straight from their family kitchen. We’re talking delectable massaman, pumpkin and green curries that will keep you coming back time and time again. It’s also a great go-to for vegans with friends who simply can’t go without some form of egg protein.
