Lanna Thai Cuisine

Lanna Thai Cuisine is an authentic slice of northern Thailand in Motueka, serving up traditional Thai recipes made with fresh local produce.

The restaurant pays homage to the ‘Lanna’ area in Northern Thailand and the unique culture, food, and influences of that region. The Lanna people are known for having retained the ancestral ways of cooking and presenting food, and this has been used as inspiration for the cuisine at Motueka’s Lanna Thai restaurant.

The food menu has a range of different dishes to suit all tastes, from aromatic stir-fries, and Thai noodles, to fresh salads and tasty fried rice. For traditional Lanna-inspired dishes, order something from the Northern Style section of the menu which includes the likes of the larb kua lana, a popular dish at ceremonies and special occasions, or the gaeng kare hoy, a northern-style curry made with fresh local mussels. Be sure to leave room for dessert, you don’t want to miss the warm sticky rice with ice cream.
