Sawadee Krub Khun Yingluck,

Warm greetings from Favola. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and dine at Favola. We have one of the most stunning views in Chiang Rai to admire the sunset along the banks of River Kok. We are glad that you got to enjoy such a view, our Favola restaurant turns magical in the evening when the sun is going down, the fire pit is lit and our outdoor lighting makes the place glow on the river.

We thank you for your comments regarding the pizza and soup that you ordered along with our wine selection and service received. Do let us know when you will visit again, it was a pleasure having you with us.

Best Regards,

Marc
Food and Beverage Manager

I visited this restaurant for a pre-wedding dinner and was hugely impressed with the service, food, decor and style. We had our very own private section on the first floor. The pre-wedding dinner was amazing. We had a great time. The staff were helpful and I would visit again.

We were looking for a suitably festive a la carte lunch and Favola caught my eye.

Having e-mailed back and forth with Marc I was very confident that we would have a really enjoyable Christmas Day celebration.

Favola definitely ticked all the boxes for us. It was a hot day so we opted to sit inside, but you could still hear the live music and enjoy the river view.

The menu was well balanced and although there had been an unanticipated demand for turkey on Christmas Eve, a duck option had been swiftly substituted and that was excellent.

Service was friendly and attentive with the manager popping by to wish us a Merry Christmas, followed by Santa laden with delicious traditional gingerbread men.

We had a beautiful meal served at a perfect leisured pace. A Big Thank You all round.

Greetings PerthSquirrel,

Thank you for taking the time to post your dining experience at Favola.

It was a pleasure having all four of you with us on Christmas Day. We are pleased to hear that our imported Duck breast was to your liking.

This was our first time that we have opened Favola for Christmas since our the hotel's. It will definitely be open for the festive 2017 season. As this year, if you would like to make a booking or notify us with any dietary requirements you may have, do not hesitate to send me an e-mail.

We are glad that you enjoyed our traditional gingerbread men by Santa. Santa is currently on holiday resting and has already started getting ready for next year.

Thank you again for coming and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Best Regards,

Marc
