David's Kitchen at 909

Supreme choice in Chiang Mai.

Food is scrumptious, servers are all very helpful and the price for a set liked this is spectacular.

The pumpkin soup is a must try!

The dinner set is in fact quite stomach filling instead.

The duck breast was thick and tender, well seasoned.

The risotto was creamy and rich.

Love the ambience here.

Really worth the reservation.

We came here because it was one of TripAdvisor's top rated restaurants.

I don't disagree that David's is one of or possibly the best French fine dining in Thailand, but then again you wouldn't go to Argentina for Chinese food.

Having said that, we ordered a la carte. For appetizers, our group of 3 had the seared scallops, the pumpkin soup, and the escargots. All were delicious - the scallops were tender on a bed of taro mash, the pumpkin soup decadent, and the escargots sat on steamed veggies. I'd recommend the soup.

For our mains we chose the braised beef, braised lamb, and fettuccine lobster Alfredo. The braised meats were okay but really nothing special (we are from Toronto and Boston). The lobster Alfredo was good but again not worth the premium. We would not recommend any of the mains that we tried given they're really nothing too special.

The food was above average, but given the culinary depth of Thai cuisine there's really no reason to be eating French fine dining I'm Chiang Mai. If you're really craving it then go ahead, but you'd be better off spending your money (and time in Chiang Mai) elsewhere.

We spent 5,200 baht between 3 people and everyone agreed that it was not worth spending that much on the food here. Yes, I see lots of comments of the owner David walking around greeting guests and he did to us - but we really didn't care for the run-through list of questions he probably asked at each table.

Our group of four went to David’s Kitchen for dinner on Christmas Day. We ate from a five course set menu (offering three choices of main dish) and all of the food was very good. Although a little more expensive than local competition, it really felt good value.

They place an emphasis on the quality of their ingredients - importing the best meats from around the world, which really came through.

It’s a very popular restaurant; from speaking with the owner after the meal, they haven’t had an empty table for a considerable time. Therefore if you want to visit, make sure you book well in advance!

The most joyful meal in Chiangmai. It is highly recommended if you feel like French rather than local northern food. Scallops are pretty huge but the price is about half of what it would cost in Bangkok. Soup has a bit of strong taste. Staff are very attentive and entertaining.

This was one of the most amazing experiences in service I have ever had. David greated us personally making us feel very welcomed. When making the reservation, I mentioning it was my spouses birthday; at the table there was a nice bday card signed by David. We chose the 4 course set menu and everything was delicious. Staff and service were equally fantastic. Unfortunately, I was feeling a bit off during the day and needed to leave before we got to dessert. David quickly offered his restaurant's personal car service to brings us back to our hotel. If you find yourself in Chiang Mai and enjoy great culinary experiences this establishment will be a great highlight to your visit.

An absolute perfect dining experience! We booked for dinner while on our honeymoon and the staff and owner were the most kind, welcoming people! A fantastic restaurant with delicious food, extensive wine and dessert list, and incredible service. By far, the best meal we've had and the staff created a very memorable, delectable experience. The atmosphere is classy and Thai with a modern twist and is easily accessible for all modes of transportation.
