Le Crystal has Lanna inspired architecture of wood and oversized planes of glass offering diners a great view of the Ping River. Dine on the verandah, overlooking the lush green garden accented by tropical flowers as the Ping River meanders below, a memorable experience on a moonlit night or a breezy winter's day. Or dine in the opulent air-conditioned restaurant and listen to a live jazz band.

Both set and a la carte menus are available with a very reasonably priced three course set lunch menu. The six course dinner menu is 1,500 baht. The a la carte menu offers diners a tantalising selection of French cuisine ranging from burst-in-your-mouth golden oscietre caviar, escargot, and lobster souffle appetizers, to Angus beef tenderloin and foie gras with truffle sauce, classic Phuket lobster thermidore and seafood bouillabaisse entrees. And why not end the meal with a flambe-at-your-table crepe washed down with a glass of dessert wine?

Le Crystal enjoys one of the city's more comprehensive wine cellars and you are welcome to stroll around the temperature controlled room choosing your preferred nectar or ask the knowledgeable staff to make a recommendation. Start the evening with a vintage 1993 Veuve Clicqout or another fine champagne from our collection, then move on to new or old world wines such as Bordeaux's Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux or South Africa's Klein Constantia sauvignon blanc.

Patrons can call for the restaurant to pick you up from your hotel or home in the city and return you after your dining experience.
