Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Relaxing to be eating watching the flowing river. Clean restrooms and restaurants, very nice food. Cocktails looks amazing, sorry I can’t comment I didn’t have one"
"This is the place that we followed the reviews and agreed. There are varieties of food and drinks. The staff were helpful to recommend the nice dishes and drinks. They all tasted great. The prices are reasonable so highly recommended if you’re interested in nice food by the river."
"The Food here is some of the best I’ve had here in Thailand, the seasoning was on point and we ate so much we could barely move, the staff were super kind and generous this is genuinely a must visit and eat if you are ever in the area. 10000% recommended"
"We watched a review of the restaurant on TV last week and we decided to drive about an hour from Bangkok on a weekend to the restaurant which is located in Ayutthaya. The restaurant has a small parking lot, but there are plenty of parking spaces on the street right in front of the restaurant. We arrived mid afternoon and it was quite hot. So, we chose a table in air-conditioned room with the riverview, but there are many tables outdoors on the riverside as well. After we settled, we noticed that the background music was too loud and had to ask the staff to turn it down. She did it swiftly. We ordered 3 dishes, 3 desserts, and one of its signature drinks (see photos). The foods were tasty in general. Price and portion is quite well balanced. Overall, it was a good dining experience. Not the best such that you would drive for an hour from Bangkok just to eat here, but if you are in the area, this place is a good option that will satisfy your taste buds and your stomach :-)."
"Absolutely loved this place! The food was super good — every dish was flavorful and delicious! The staff were attentive & friendly which made us feel really welcome. On top of that, the river view was beautiful and added a relaxing vibe to the whole experience. Prices were very reasonable for the quality you get. Highly recommended!"
"Lovely lunch overlooking the river. We had duck and a beef shank dish. Both flavourful."
"Pannana Cafe and Eatery (พรรณนา) is a cozy Thai-inspired cafe-style eatery with a relaxed ambiance, Thai beverages, and light bites, offering friendly service and good value; a great place for photos by the riverside, with an average price of THB 750 per person."
"Quiet during our visit; only three couples. Fast service and good food. Lovely view of the river. Very pleasant!"
