We spent Saturday night at The Nest, a hotel comprised of a series of cabins and salas at the base of Doi Chiang Dao. The place was lovely, the cabins were immaculate, and the food at the restaurant was sublime. The restaurant at this place has picked up awards from Thailand's Tattler and has been recognized as one of the best restaurants in the country, and even though we came in with high hopes, we were somewhat surprised that the place lived up to the hype. I had one of the best meals I've had in the 7 months we've been here. If you're venturing out to Chiang Dao, the restaurant at the Nest 2 is well worth a visit. The chef offers dishes of impeccable quality, and the menu is interesting and changes daily. The chef apparently trained in Europe somewhere, and nothing on the menu feels formulaic - the restaurant has unique offerings and everything was prepared with clear love and attention to detail. You would not expect to find cuisine of this quality at a hotel far from a major city in northern Thailand, but lo and behold, the Nest 2 delivers. If you're venturing out to Chiang Dao, stop in for a bite.
