At Chiang Mai Night Market · Little Bourke St

A Thai night market in the heart of Melbourne

Outdoor tables, cold Thai beer by the tower, Mookata sizzling on the grill, street-food snacks and Thai desserts. We packed up the feeling of a Chiang Mai night market and brought it to the CBD. Bring your friends.

In shortAt Chiang Mai, at 132–138 Little Bourke Street, is a Northern Thai restaurant with a Thai night-market vibe in Melbourne's CBD. Expect outdoor tables, Thai beer on tap (Leo, Singha and Chalawan, by the jug or tower), Mookata Thai BBQ from 5pm every day, Thai street food, Thai desserts and live music coming soon. It's open 7 days, with lunch Friday to Sunday and late nights until 11:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

What to expect

Anyone who has been to Chiang Mai knows the feeling: the heat of the day finally breaks, the lights come on, and the whole city heads outside to eat. Grills smoke, someone orders another round of beer, and dinner turns into three hours of sharing plates with friends.

That's what we wanted for Little Bourke Street. Grab an outdoor table, order a tower of Thai beer, and work your way through skewers, sausage, chilli dips and a sizzling Mookata — no dress code, no rush, just a good night out in the middle of Melbourne.
