Moreganic is without a doubt the swankiest vegetarian restaurant in town. If you are looking for a place to impress someone then this is certainly the place to take them. It is inside Away Chiang Mai Thapae Resort which is an expensive, high-so hotel. The décor is extremely classy and you won’t find any other veggie place in town quite like it.

They have a menu of mostly Thai food. Even the western dishes such as the burgers have been given creative, local names such as the Thapae Burger or the Mon Jam burger. The burgers are all good as they are very tasty and come with a decent serving of fries, which so many restaurants seem to skimp out on these days.

The food is beautifully presented. We were particularly impressed with the somtam which is served actually inside the mortar, with fresh veggies on the side, vegan chicken and sticky rice. This dish is really tasty, even if the actual salad part could be a little bigger. The Khao Soi is particularly good here and is a humongous sized bowl!

They also have a range of fruit smoothies, teas, posh waters and alcohol-free beer. They also have desserts such as ice-cream. All the food is either vegan or can be prepared vegan.

The one disappointing thing about Moreganic is their lack of awareness towards sustainability. All veggie restaurants provide free refillable water. This restaurant doesn’t and if you order water it will come in a small, plastic bottle. We found this very wasteful. They also give you individually wrapped plastic straws, there is no excuse for this since there are so many companies offering reusable bamboo or steel straws in Chiang Mai. In this aspect Moreganic needs to keep up with the efforts that the other restaurants are making.

We were impressed with the dishes but we warn you that because this is a very classy establishment, prices are naturally noticeably higher than you can normally expect to pay in Chiang Mai. Some things to consider are that the veggies are all pesticide-free and that of course a lot of money has gone in to the very posh design. You probably won’t want to make it a regular haunt but if you are planning to propose to a partner or take your spouse for an anniversary dinner Moreganic will surely make the perfect place.
