The 50 best rooftop bars in Yangon (Rangoon)

Perfect view to see Shwedagon Pagoda in the night. It is a good place for chilling with your friends on the rooftop. Music is very good. Beer and food are acceptable but sometimes, some items in menu are not served. Price is reasonable. We paid 70,000kyats for more ten cups of beer and 6 dishes. Spacious space, no noise. Parking is not available - you have to park on the street.

It's one of the few bars that plays slow and soft beat music. Mostly they play Westlife (Band) songs and other slow beat pop songs. So you can have a peaceful conversation with anyone you go with. Only give three stars because it has downsides. One of the things is it has no parking space. So you have to find an unsafe place to drop your car. Another bad thing is that the elevator is not usable. Since it is a rooftop bar, you can have some good scenery. You can see the Shwe Dagon pagoda clearly but another downside is that there is also a building beside which is higher and it makes you unable to watch the sunset from the bar. When talking about food and beverages, it's ok to eat. The price of the drinks ranges from $4-7. Services are good and I'll give 4 out of 5.

One of the three well known sky bars located in and around the Shwedagon Pagoda, Vista stands true to its name and certainly offers the most iconic view of the Pagoda. Vista is located about 4 floors up from its street side entrance and consists of 2 terraces, one such terrace offers that highly compelling view of the Shwedagon. During the dry season this terrace is open air (during rainy season it is enclosed by a canopy) and consists of three rows of seats and tables across. The terrace is serviced by two bars, one at either end. Modern commercial music like Demi Lovato was playing but the volume was thankfully not over powering. However, there were no prices on the menu, I recommend asking for the prices before committing to a purchase. Tiger draft was MMK 1,500. Also, since the signature of Vista is its view of the Pagoda, it was annoying that there were many staff members who continuously blocked the view either by walking around without purpose or by just standing and hence blocking the view of the Pagoda. All in all, certainly a place to check out for some nice night time photos of the Shwedagon Pagoda while enjoying a nice cold beer. However, there is very little alternative views (like a downtown skyline) to see from Vista. In my experience, a beer or two was sufficient before moving on.

Probably the best roof top bar view of Shwedagon in Yangon... Decent food and drinks at fair prices. Music needs improvement to lift the vibe but food and drinks are ok. Walk up stairs are a bit of a hassle Vs the new Freesia rooftop bar next door which has an elevator (but less impressive view). But overall a nice chill place to hang out and bring visitors wanting a nice nighttime view.

One of good bar in Yanggon with the view of Shwedagon Pagoda at the night time. Good to hangout with the friends after office of weekend. There are some improvements required such as toilet not clean and no light when I'm there and also bar is to dark, it hard to see the food or menu so have to use LED light from mobile phone.

Love the scenery which can view the night of Shwe Dagon Pagoda but is too dark to enjoy ur meal. The meal in the menu not available sometimes. Hope to improve the some desk light or candle.

A little bit rundown but view is ok. Maybe better without the low roof to keep out the rain. Happy hour with buy one get one is a plus.

Joined the welcome back party of Group Bar manager Puia! Since Gekko in downtown, cocktails crafted by Puia were always different from other places. If you are looking for a good cocktail place, just follow where Puia works 😊😊😊 Gekko updated menu has lots of varieties of dishes even pizza, spaghetti in addition to their japanese menu. Teppanyaki in malar snd spicy sauces were really good. Black angus beef was tender and juicy, sashimi was so fresh!!! I would give overall score 3.5 because i missed the old gekko vibes 🤣🤣🤣 food and drinks were up to my palate though.

Might be cool place in the evening as they have outdoor seatings which obviously you can’t sit during the day with Yangon weather. The seatings inside are abit dark however the service is good. The waitress was helpful even though she looks new to the service industry. They play music loud perhaps they reduced the volume down when we requested. The food was ok. The ramen was salty despite being requested to reduce the saltiness.

This new location, situated in the spacious compound of Golden Valley, is a great improvement over their previous location. The food has definitely improved, and their signature cocktails were also delicious. While the servers were attentive, I did notice that the furniture upstairs was being moved quite roughly while we were sitting downstairs, which was a bit of a distraction. Nonetheless, I would still recommend checking out this spot! In a colonial building with high ceiling. The service was very nice. Ramen and cocktails were nice. Hope the food portions would be larger xD

One of the best meals we had in Myanmar. In a very nice Location, with great music. So go and enjoy the Gekko would be our verdict! Try the original new takes on classic drinks (Gekko G&T and Gekko Mojito), the main courses and desserts. We were not disappointed at all. The price level is higher than average, but so is the standard of food and service

Hello, again. Firstly, this Gekko restaurant is the same as Parami Pizza restaurant. Not many people knew and I recently found out about it. In Google map, it is written Gekko but all pizzas from parami pizza menu are available. So, let me share my review. I hope this helps for your future references. Car parking: it is okay for 5-6 cars. When it is crowded, you will have to park outside in the street. Food: I ordered a pizza of 2 toppings - cheese pizza and mushroom pizza. It took about 40 minutes for the pizza to come. The taste is the most similar to authentic Italian cheese pizza. You can say it is a brother to a real Italian pizza (this is what an Italian said) lol.. from my asian review, it tasted simple and delicious. Atmosphere: since I dined at an indoor table, it was dark and small. Honestly, they could decorate it in lighter and more positive version. I felt it had negative vibes since it was dark and quiet. No windows. Service: the waiters are friendly. They smile and they are ready to assist you at any time. Overall, it was pretty good. I had a good experience with the food and the car parking space (it was not crowded). The location was easy to be found in Google map. The pizza was amazing. I wish they had done the place a bit brighter so that it brings more coziness and light in the place. Hope my review helps. Chao!

Superb, a warm welcome with a cold towel. Take a break from the hot colonial history outside to the new Burmese avant-garde in this modern yet classy take on a Japanese styled bar restaurant. From the leather saddle seats to the soft elegant lighting this place seduces you away from the culture and history outside the door. Menu is really nice take on Japanese fusion.

Loved this place! Should be on your top three list of spots to hit when in Yangon. The atmosphere is really cool and perfect for a cozy and stylish evening. Make a reservation in advance because it is a popular spot. The warm sake and the craft cocktails are highly recommended. The Korean chicken, the fried chicken and the Edamame should be on your list. The service was good and the food was really good Couple -'s We were decapointed in the tofu rice dish, no taste. We wish that the staff would have been better at refilling drinks or asking if we wanted more.

Loving the vibe of this place! Great music and atmosphere! Cocktails are pretty good as well! Definitely a good place to drink and dine with your friends. It’s a speakeasy bar but not too difficult to find with Google map. Would recommend the “Old Fashioned”.

It is bar but vibe looks like club. Just go and check it out once. You will know it how it is. F&B is no need to mention over again. It is already tasty. 😋

Nice hamburger, Very good myanmar draft beer. A little bit pricy, but good for last night in Myanmar, if you wanna end up with your trip in here.

A chic, discreet cocktail bar tucked away in the small lanes of Yangon. Great finger food, infused gins, burmese rum, and magnificent cocktails. Perfect for late night chats or a dim rendezvous!

From the outside the street seems quiet and innocuous. The bar itself, lit by a neon sign from the outside seems quietly tucked away and hidden. The charm of Hidden Tiger is in the excitement in opening the heavy and inconspicuous door which transports you from a quiet, empty and dimly lit Yangon street into an exciting bar which bears decor similar to a 1920s style speakeasy but with a Chinesesque flare. The bar is cosy and fun although a bit on the expensive side. The menu caters to many interests from cocktails to wine to beer. The music, while modern can be quite loud impairing conversation at times. A good bar for small groups of people. Recommended if you want to experience a change from Yangon's beer stations. All in all, guaranteed to be a fun experience going back in time, even if only for a couple of hours.

Great service and great and strong cocktails! Loved to decor. Happy hour drinks from 5-7pm for house wines and house cocktail (not sure what it was but it was tasty!)

Good speak easy style cocktail bar. Not easy to find. Nice atmosphere and bartender are quite good in asia standard.

Atlas Rooftop Bar & Lounge is at the top floor (12F) of the Uniteam building in Yangon. It offers a really (!!!) great view of the city and most especially of Shwedagon Pagoda at night. The cocktails are good, but needs a bit more kick of alcohol in it. Was surprised a sisig fusion dish was in the menu, so we ordered it. Probably, it has been changed to suit Burmese taste, but I didn’t taste any of the Filipino sisig I was looking for. But what made the night incredible was the overall vibe of the place. Really chill place to be in plus the DJ!!! The DJ was amazing with his really cool mix! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It's such an awesome spot! Fantastic view of the Shwedagon! Lovely lounges / seating areas to take in the views... hosted parties are a little pricey... 100,000MMK to enter... but very worthwhile as the djs are great and the atmosphere is lively! Check the weather before going (not raining)...as this determines how busy/ popular it'll be... Drinks and food are a bit pricey, but to be expected... lovely cocktails!

It’s sad to see how Atlas changed ! The drinks became so expensive yet they did not have cranberry juice for cosmopolitan. One page of snack menu and that’s all you can get to eat. Ordered chicken skewers and the chicken was pre cooked. The whole user experience wasn’t good as the POS did not work to pay with MPU or Visa cards. They only have Kpay which is a bit disappointing for the people who do not use Kpay.

Great view over Yangon downtown and has an excellent vibe. Good beer and actually you can order food from German restaurant - Mahlzeit downstairs. I do not recommend cheese fondue from there because it wasn't acceptable at all. Sausage platter was alright. One of good rooftop bar you can go in Yangon.

Great place to chill. Limited food options but the atmosphere is great and great service.

Nice rooftop bar to wind down after sunset. It felt more spacious than some of the other rooftop bars I visited. You can also order food from Mahlzeit German restaurant on the first floor to enjoy with draft beer.

Best place for an evening out with friends. I would prefer they have a proper food menu, but I guess they wanted us to enjoy the drinks and the spectacular view. Recommend to take a bottle of wine and some platter

Basement Bar delivers a hybrid bar / house party / nightclub experience the likes of which is uncommon to the Yangon nightlife scene. As the name suggests 'Basement' is located 1 floor below its ground entrance. Coming in from the street entrance the walk past a small corridor and into the bar below is an exciting experience in and of itself. I went on a Saturday night and there was a DJ playing. The bar was pretty busy but started to kick off from about 10:00pm. On another Saturday night there was a live band playing mostly Burmese songs. Basement has a distinctive 'H' design where the DJ was in the right side and patrons were in the left side room. I feel that the bar could make more use of its space and perhaps include high stools and/or tables in the DJ room as it was open and unused space making the other room packed. Also, I feel that some bar stools at the bar would be a welcome addition since there were none there, and, at 10:00 pm on a Saturday night seats are much needed. In the absence of bar stools, lone patrons really have no option on where to sit as the seats and tables generally cater to group arrangements. I ordered a Myanmar beer for MMK1,500. This was served in a plastic cup. I feel that the plastic cups take away from the bar experience and glasses would have been better. The bar has only one toilet, given the amount of patrons, more toilets would be welcomed All in all, I believe that if and when licensing restrictions on opening hours are relaxed, the Yangon nightlife culture expands and if a few improvements (such as those mentioned above) are made, then Basement Bar will surely offer a top class underground bar/nightclub experience.

Not expensive, reasonable cocktails from 4000 kyats, nice vibe and chatter. Friendly service too. Please, please, please: stop the smoke! We had to leave, it was just too smokey to stay for more than 15 minutes. If that's the local culture, then so be it, but for the sake of the health of your visitors, please install extractor fans or stop smoking in a confined space. It's not good for your employees health who work in this environment all day and night.

You never forget a first. It was our first beer in Myanmar after a 36 hour trip. Came down and realised we hit the jackpot. Because if anything says Good night with a capital g, it's a nice environment, nice smiling hosts some nice bites and a tall pitcher of cool brew. Came there twice more and always left in a good mood.

Underground bar - low ceiling, dark, smoky and very loud bands. Have to be the special kind of people looking for such places in order to enjoy it fully. Live music over weekends, usually local rock band. Beer in plastic cups or bottles, cash only

Very nice place to hang out with friends. Luckily we ended up with live band and we got great time. Price is very reasonable and foods are also above the average. Definitely we will go back there when we get a chance.

This place was pretty terrible. Music was waaaay too loud, and not that great tbh. The service was also kind of trash—asked three times to get the bill before we finally had to go to the front to force our money upon them (so that we could escape and save our ears from bleeding as quickly as possible).

This place is actually really badass. Great night club vibe with a great DJ. If not for the 11pm curfew I could see this becoming one of the pioneering bars in the Yangon night scene. Westerners welcome.

5 stars Absolutely loved my experience at Rangoon Tea House! The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming, with a great mix of modern and traditional Burmese style. The food was delicious — full of flavor and clearly made with care. I especially enjoyed the tea selection and the thoughtful presentation of every dish. Service was friendly and professional throughout. One of the best places to eat in Yangon — highly recommended! There is also a smoking section by the outside table eating area.

A nice place for all day dinings. Variety of food from Chinese dim sum, Burmese food, and international breakfast. They are famous for tea and tea leaves. Cheesecake is also recommended.

Probably the best Burmese food restaurant you’ll have in downtown Yangon. They also have Indian cuisine-influenced food including bacon & cheese samosa, which I can’t get enough of, and chicken biryani. I also had crispy pork bowl and it was divine. Finished the entire bowl! Spent ~90k mmk on my meal but that was definitely for sharing! I wasnt able to finish the biryani. Preferably, you visit this place with family or friends and enjoy the food because the portions are definitely for sharing. :)

This is a fusion-style restaurant offering a mix of Burmese local dishes, Indian cuisine, and items similar to Cantonese-style tea house fare. They play traditional Burmese music in the background, giving the place a nostalgic and cultural atmosphere. The restaurant is housed in a two-story wooden building with a spacious layout, creating a grand and open feel. It has a classic charm with a touch of local character. Aside from being a bit noisy, the overall environment is quite nice — I would rate the ambiance between 4 and 4.5 stars. As for the food, the portions are quite small and the prices are on the higher side, so the value for money is relatively low. I'd rate the food around 3.5 stars. If the pricing were more reasonable, it could deserve 4 stars. The service is decent. The staff speak English, and there’s an English menu available. However, the Wi-Fi is basically unusable. Service overall can be rated 4 stars. In summary: Food: 3.5–4 stars (due to small portions and high prices) Service: 4 stars Environment: 4–4.5 stars (minus some points for noise) Overall: 4 stars

And incredible restaurant in central Yangon. I had heard a lot about this place in blogs online and it lived up to expectations. I went in the evening and vibe was chill, low mood lighting, art in the walls, wooden decor. The cocktail list was long, I tried several and they were all delicious. Menu was modern take on Burmese food. Highly recommend the pork noodles and tea infused cocktails. Staff were attentive and friendly, service was quick. Learned a lot about the history of the restaurant and of the city while there too!

Cocktails are stunning! Artistic local creations! Ambiance is spot on! On world charm. Perfect spot to visit with friends, family, a romantic treat or by yourself! Food is tasty and staff are friendly!

As a foreigner in Myanmar amidst some uncertainty, Rangoon Tea House was a comforting gem in the heart of Yangon! The tea and food here are absolutely top-notch — easily the best I’ve had in the city. I especially loved the mohinga — rich, flavourful, and authentic. The ambience is stylish yet relaxed, and the service was warm and welcoming. If (and when) I return to Myanmar, this will definitely be one of my first stops again!

I always try not to compare the taste of food here with what I've had in better places. While the food is tasty, it doesn't quite stand out. Unfortunately, our order was missed, which was disappointing. It would be helpful if the order taker repeated the order to avoid such issues, so I don't end up waiting for food that never arrives while everyone else finishes their meal. The nachos were just floury and lacked the flavor that nachos should have. The pumpkin soup was a bit too sweet and not the thick, finely blended soup I was expecting. On the bright side, the pizza was decent and met the standard. Interestingly, they sell vapes here too! Unlike some places that put stickers on the bill after payment, this one just gave me back my change & receipt without the stickers. ⸻ Would you like to add anything else or make further adjustments?

The food tasted great, the drinks were good, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I had a wonderful time.

Just checking out a few places in Yangon. This is a really nice bar , lots of space , great service and I had a snack which was very tasty. I left around 7.30 pm and the lance was till quite empty. Maybe it will get busy later. I would imagine this is a great bar when it’s busy . Will definitely visit again.

I didn't like their food for the first time but I was there last night and I tried it again. Oh the food is so tasty. Did I get drunk when I came here for dinner? I recommend a special parami pizza🍕.It is so different styles and crispy. They also have music band, Billiard table And Thank you for arranging our delicious dinner.

I had a great time chilling on a sunny afternoon here. The vibe is nice and the service is very attentive, all at a reasonable price. One of my favorite things about this place is the high ceiling of the colonial building. Highly recommend!

Nice smart place with an extensive menu. Even for us vegetarians. Not cheap, but not too expensive. The staff were very pleasant and the pizza I had was delicious 😋

Wow, amazing restaurant. Top for taste, taste in food, taste in beverages, taste in decor, taste in music, all delivered by attentive, polite and efficient staff. Catering western cuisine, but doing it brilliantly, the Union Burger, is exceptional, not just by Myanmar standards or Asian standards, this is a world class burger, it tastes great. This place has put a very big smile on my face for the rest of the day. Note to owner, don't change a thing! This is a large spacious redtaurant tastefully decorated, two story frontage floods in natural light in the afternoon making it a very pleasant spot, afternoon or evening. Union is easy to find, just down the street from the famous Strand Hotel facing the harbour.

Good cocktail with many things to play with. Food is just o.k. Music is House and Trance mostly. If you are a fan of House, Trance and melody, this is a good place for you. Good place to get fresh air up there from time to time.

One of the best Roof top Bar that have good shisha. Love the atmosphere. Good place with chill with Friends.

Awesome cocktails 🍹 🍸 Enjoyed the music, view and of course drinks.

You can have specific cocktails here, a bit expensive though. Please dun try Phat Thai here. Seems like they dun know what it is and it is just like normal fried noodle except bean sprouts included. Food is very normal and nothing special. Portion is very little compared to price. Snail soup is only one thing which makes me feel delicious. Drinks are also expensive. But staffs’ service is good luckily. But you can see very beautiful sunset here.

My first time visiting this lounge. The customer service and hospitality of the waitress are on some level. I enjoyed their service and clever explanation to menus. Or maybe because we are the celeb table? The decorations are good also the retractable roof. We often ask them to roll back and roll forward, because when there is rain and when it's not rain it's getting hot. And they carefully served as we wished for. The drinks, the cocktails are really great. Aslo the price is high. Menus prices are spicy. Got some more money before you come! Whatever, for sometimes happiness, let's make it worth it. The sound system and the music is a little weird to me. The volume is not stable. Sometimes it get too low, sometimes it's getting higher. I recommend the playlist also need to be active and popular or club music. Sad thing is I don't remember what I drink that night. Over all the food, drink and service is great.

Their Signature one Roof cocktail is 4 ⭐ Other Cocktail 3.8 ⭐ Since it is located in the roof top, it's windy and cool place to chill.

Place is good. You can feel the city view while enjoying drink. Staff are so well trained. Food mostly go to western and Thai. Vegetable is not yet available. Theme for the roof is not match I felt. Music little noise for some age. Anyway that place must be different from usual.

5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience at Seeds! The setting by the lake is peaceful and beautiful, perfect for a special night out. The food was incredible – creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell everything is made with care and top-quality ingredients. The staff were super attentive and knowledgeable, and the service was flawless. Easily one of the best fine dining experiences in Yangon. Highly recommend!

The best restaurant in Yangon. The food is consistently excellent, creative and the menu evolves all the time. The service is top notch and the place itself is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend the lunch set which has excellent value for money. The cocktails are also excellent, and the restaurants often organises sunset drinks events that are also not to be missed.

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge 🐈‍⬛ This restaurant was recommended to us to visit, and it didn’t disappoint. A fine dining close to nature, a welcoming resident cat called Prince, exquisite dishes, professional hospitality team, and generous Chefs! I like how the infused spirits were displayed. The view of the garden by the lake. Surprisingly, the cat is from Malaysia and the European owners of this restaurant used to live in Borneo. What a serene late afternoon for The Grumps, where no grumping to look for. Hence, a peaceful day to nestle back to our hotel with contentment. #iamkbonita #SEEDSrestaurantandlounge #myanmar

The restaurant is set in the most lovely location right by Inya Lake, and diners could take it all in from the comfort of the air-conditioned indoor sitting area thanks to the ceiling-to-floor glass windows. The 3-course set lunch at US$29 is a steal, and there were complimentary amuse bouche and petit fours as well as a box of chocolates to bring home. The dishes were well executed, but my favourite was the 3 different types of bread that they served. The cocktail was great too. The wait staff were attentive and the chef even came to greet us.

​Seeds Restaurant & Lounge: A Perfect Night for an Anniversary ​We chose Seeds Restaurant & Lounge to celebrate our 19th anniversary, and honestly, it was the perfect choice. This is fine dining done right, but without any stuffiness. ​The Sunset View and Romantic Setting ​The location on the West Bank of Inya Lake is just incredible. Watching the amazing, beautiful sunset over the water while we were having our dinner felt like pure magic. The team went all out for our anniversary—our special table was scattered with red and pink rose petals, lit by soft candlelight, and featured a lovely single rose in a vase. It created this incredibly cozy, romantic atmosphere that was perfect for us. ​Food, Cocktails, and the Cheese Trolley! ​Before dinner, we hit the cocktails. Seriously, try their cocktails! The YGN in particular was a major highlight—we just loved it. ​For the meal, we went with the Element and Sunshine set menus and everything was delicious. We had two great starters, a main (the beautifully plated beef and asparagus dish was a highlight!), and finished with the cheese platter and sweets. The European-style dishes were expertly prepared and plated—it’s obvious that so much care goes into the food. It tastes so good and works well for Asian palates, too. ​The moment when the staff rolled out the cheese trolley for the platter was such a classic fine-dining touch and a real treat! ​The Service is the Best Part ​The cozy atmosphere and tasty dishes were great, but the staff? They were the jewel of the crown. They knew it was our anniversary and totally spoiled us! They set up the special table and surprised us with a lovely cake, chocolate, and a song! It truly made our 19th anniversary one we won't forget. ​A special shout out to Nickolas—he was fantastic, so warm and attentive, and made us feel so special all night. ​If you’re looking for a world-class experience with amazing food, an unbelievable view, and genuinely thoughtful service for a special occasion, book Seeds. You won't regret it. ​

Excellent. I am very happy that I managed to get there. And enjoy a perfect lunch In a beautiful interior and in the wonderful company of the restaurant staff. I hope to come there again soon

If we had eaten lunch or had a proper meal, then it would have been better. We opted for afternoon tea vibe with desserts & coffee ☕️. The desserts were just okay. Cocktail is okay too. But the most disappointing was coffee ☕️ especially the cup & also the taste of Latte. Pls upgrade your coffee cups to proper ones & probably use a better coffee espresso machine. $9 for a latte coffee is a put off ….. least to say it tastes like instant + milk mix in terms of taste profile. But the view of the venue is good & has a chill vibe. Service was good too. Kind & friendly staffs.

Good restaurant in an old Villa Bath. There is a room where the late General Aung San, the Freedom flighter for Burma used as an office. The food is good as well as the service.

Great authentic Burmese food. The place has great ambience and history memories. It was Aung San office in the past. The curry pork, steam fish and seafood dishes were excellent 😍 The staff were very friendly too. Full of locals and tourists. It is a worth dinner place to visit and relax. However, the toilet is a bit creepy at night with an old bath tub in there 😱

As a first time traveller in this city, House of Memories is one of the bucket list. The have many Burmese and some Thai and international selection menu from Seafoods to meat dishes. The coriander seafood was really good, best with jasmine rice. The pineapple juice, however was not very good. Staffs were all very attentive, efficient and polite.

Enjoyed a great lunch here. Everything from the food, service and you also get a bit of history about the building.

Nice and beautiful Myanmar food restaurant in the historic house.

Very good food, not too expensive. Very friendly staff. Loved the curries!

This historic building is worth visiting in its own right. The food is an added delight. Great cocktails and mocktails too.

The restaurant was empty when I came during lunch. Food takes a while to come out, but good that they make it fresh. There's complimentary bread to start with. The ice cream was my favorite item on the menu

We love how it was cozy ! The waitress was very attentive. The prices are very reasonable and drinks are good with cheaper price compared to other bars in town. The food was fresh and good.

Mar’24: Burrata is BACK!!!!! Dec'22: They upgraded the menu and no more Burrata cheese. 😢 Another place which has Burrata cheese xD Very peaceful dining place. They have a tennis court too. We can ride the boat before rainy season. Wine and dishes don't need to mention much. Always superb. The service as well.

Excellent place to go and chill . Historic place Lake view are great

I went there as the wedding ceremony. The garden area is pleasant as the lake is beside it. But it was a bit hot as I went there in summer. The food is good and delicious but the portion is a little bit small for me. It is just my opinion and maybe it is ceremony dinner. Overall, it was a good place to dine in.

Lovely lakeside setting- beautiful for sunset or in the evenings with many lights and table candles. Sadly many mosquitoes also like it and you!! Inside seating is very elegant and s good menu with good food. Authentic wood fired pizza in the oven outside. An easy walk from Inya Hotel for a change in dining.

Feel like in Italy. The place , the food, the service

Coconut is so bigger!!!!! 😋😂😂😂😂 is price 6500 mmk🥹🥹 good price! Guacamole with pita is normal

Tried their smoothie bowl cos a friend of mine highly recommended it. Worth tryingggg !!!! It was so good and the portion was huge. They got tons of vegan dishes options

Easily my favorite vegetarian restaurant in Yangon. Huge selection of Myanmar, Asian, and western dishes. The veg mohinga was outstanding. Beautiful clean atmosphere and friendly service. Will definitely come back.

Really delicious food, beautifully decorated interior and super friendly English speaking staff. In addition to vegetarian food, snacks and amazing drinks they offer treatments like facials, mani-pedi, massage etc in beautiful newly renovated rooms. Always quality and friendly service! Highly recommended!

Cozy, little vegan place in town! All the menu dishes are vegan or vegetarian so that you can easily choose from European to Asian undoubtedly. Food is great, staffs are super friendly plus lovely, quiet neighborhood which is really nice to hang out for a lunch or dinner. All in all, enjoyable experience!

Great place for a nice healthy meal. Offers vegan food in a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. Food is good and fresh and reasonably priced. Good variety of food on the menu. Staff speaks good English. Service is good. Located at the end of a small alley just opposite the Parkroyal Hotel. They accept cash payment only.

Name me an eatery in Yangon with exceptional food that allows dogs of all sizes indoors. I’ll wait

During a recent summer holiday to Myanmar, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Shan Yoe Yar, a renowned restaurant specializing in traditional dishes from the Shan ethnic group. Located on the second floor of the former Traders Hotel, the restaurant offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Yangon, blending culture with culinary authenticity. From the moment we entered, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for our meal. The rustic wooden decor, coupled with traditional Shan artifacts, created a sense of cultural immersion that was both charming and comfortable. As for the food, Shan Yoe Yar did not disappoint. The menu boasted a rich variety of Shan specialties, each dish bursting with unique flavors and textures that reflect the region's rich heritage. We started with the Shan noodle salad, which was refreshingly light yet packed with a harmonious blend of tangy and savory flavors. The tofu fritters, crispy on the outside and soft within, were equally delightful, especially when paired with their house-made dipping sauces. The highlight of our meal was the Moo Hin Gar, a classic Shan fish soup that stood out for its depth of flavor. The delicate balance of spices and the freshness of the ingredients showcased the chef's commitment to preserving the authenticity of Shan cuisine. Additionally, the portion sizes were generous, making it a fulfilling dining experience. While the food was excellent, the service could have been slightly more attentive. The staff were polite and welcoming, but there were moments where we felt they were a bit understaffed, leading to some delays. That said, the overall experience was still highly enjoyable, and the relaxed pace gave us time to truly savor each dish. Shan Yoe Yar is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the rich flavors of Myanmar's Shan region. The combination of an inviting ambiance, authentic cuisine, and a prime location makes it a dining spot worth adding to your itinerary. A solid four-star experience that left us wanting to explore more of Myanmar’s culinary treasures.

Traditional Shan food in a nice and clean environment with friendly staffs. Portions are huge! Liked their fish, but taste of the steamed tofu wasn’t my cup of tea. Suggest to visit their main branch instead which has a nicer building and environment.

Good food but expensive pricing, located in an upscale shopping mall linked to a hotel. Impeccable service, food came out quickly and staff were quick to respond and were helpful. Portion size for vegetables were slightly small. Love the egg and seafood dish which the waiter recommended.

First experience with Shan state's food. Although the ingredients are common such as corn, mung beans, egg plants and rice, the process taken to cook the dishes is laborious. Set meals at affordable prices are available. Must try if you are in Yangon, Myanmar. Price may be comparatively steeper than the foodstalls in the city. Restaurant environment is clean and waiting staff is attentive.

One of the best local food in Yangon. They serve food from Shan State, a minority group in Myanmar, we love the sea bass on tamarind sauce and the eggplant curry. Their version of mashed potato is also good. It's always full in lunch time, i suggest making a reservation.

Visited for Yunan hotpot happy hour. 25% discount on every Sunday in July. Even the small pot which cost 35,000 mmk is enough for 3/4 person. Premium shan food. The resturant decoration is elegant and staffs are helpful. The taste of the dishes are on point. Price is a bit high for Shan food but worth paying.

Simply superb. Was apprehensive to try Shan cuisine but after tasting it, I was amazed. The flavours are very unique. It's hard to compare it to other types of Asian cooking ~ ie Thai, Malay, Indian or Chinese. I guess it's the nature of the spices and ingredients they use that gives Shan food an interesting taste signature. The Shan chicken curry is a hot-and-sour delight. A must try is the Fish in Bamboo leaves, simply yummy. The steamed mushroom is also pretty delicious. The best dish for us was the crispy pork rinds ~ it comes with bits of fat and meat on each piece, and melts on your mouth. Even the simple mixed vegetables was good. The sauce is very tangy with a zing. One unique dish that I found strange was the pounded bananna buds, eaten with a twist of lime. The fish soup was ok, came with an extremely bitter spice condiment. It combined well to highlight the taste. Lastly, everything was washed down with the excellent but under-rated Myanmar larger beer. Two thumbs up. Highly recommended.

If you want to have international cuisines in one place, it's a must to go. Lots of seat choices. The interior design incorporates a blend of modern and traditional elements, creating a cozy ambiance. The rooftop setting provides an open and airy atmosphere. Great for both casual meetings and romantic dates.

Fantastic city view & smoking area. Wine 🍷 are the best

Excellent service, great view, and good food. I have never been disappointed with the food and drinks that i ordered here. The servers are very attentive and quick to attend to your needs. The restaurant overlooks the neighborhood, and is really lovely at sunset.

Yankin Heights offer mix of some Western and Asian dish. You park the car on the street side and take an elevator to go to the top of the building where it is located. The place offers some wine and some drink menu. Outdoor seating is available but not recommended for more than 3 person as more people would block the walkway. The kitchen closes at 7 pm... Food taste - Above average Price - Above average Experience - Above average Service - OK Parking - roadside

Food is cheap and extremely high-quality. Waiters are courteous. Rooms are good and clean. A bit hot outside - better book Grab even before you go down. There's only one elevator - may need to wait for a few mins.

Delicious food, attentive staff and reasonable price. The view is also nice. I love it here.

The restaurant is on the roodtop at Myanandar residence. The service is great, and you can enjoy the fantastic view of the surroundings while having meals. You can order various kinds of Chinese, European, Asian and Thai dishes there as well.

7 jonit , it is locate in Urben Asia center area and other bars located in there.The bar is Reggae style with BOB Marley theme and on the 2nd floor. Place is alittle small , but nice live band and DJ. Foods taste are normal and Drink are also good and then they have happy hours starting 2pm to 6 pm and you will get one free, when you buy one Beer/ Alcohol. No need to worry about parking.

Crowded at many guests are weekend. Reggae bar with wall pairing of Bob Marley is nice. But live band and DJ play was not reggae when i visit. Drink is good. Try happy hour.

Food are a bit sweet and expensive than my expectation. Small space with good music. Waiters and service are 4 stars. Enjoyed but will not go there again.

A nice place to hang out with and chill . Either With friends or alone . Music is good ., Drinks And foods are Awesome With reasonable price but the place is packed on weekends.

Cool vibes, the place feels unique to me, great live band on Friday nights, packed with people.

Surprisingly Jamaican foods are here! Love this bar unplugged are playing songs sometime you can participate in singing and foods also good.

Cool and busy bar in downtown Yangon which specialises in reggae but also has live bands playing all kinds of music.

In 2024, the vibe remains old as always. Avoid the dish called Royal Nacho - it's just crispy prata skins costing 12,000, which we couldn't even eat and had to return. On a positive note, we loved the Zayan tea leaf salad among the tea leaf salads. This place is so much fun!!!! The cocktail are amazing and food were nice as well. The band is the highlight of this place. Such a very cool place to have fun with friends.

Good place to chill with friends and colleagues. Place is a bit small and sitting plan is a bit packed. Music is too loud for me, singers and songs are good though. Cannot say about price as I went there for farewell and we are served with buffet dinner. But food here is tasty and recommend to try once. Mutton and tea leaf salad is really nice ones.

One of the top famous bars in Yangon. Entertaining with live band music every day. Also delicious local food are served among the various types of foods. You may enjoy the dinner or celebrate your special occasion with your family and friends.

Nice place with live band at 7.30 pm. Food and drink all reasonable price. Good taste. Need to book table in advance by their Facebook fan page.

A bar with music for 40+ or 50+ Ideal place for lady drinkers and oldies gathering. Live music band is good enough for oldies songs and food taste are also good enough. To get a table, reservation required.

It's a bar that caters to somewhat of an adult population. It have a great atmosphere with a live band playing every night. The songs they play changes depending on the day. You can also request songs by writing it on a tissue and passing it onto a waiter. The food itself is great as well with decent price. If you are looking for a good time with live music, the crowd signing along, and generally having a blast during any day of the week? This is the place to be.

Grab a seat. They won’t charge you any entry fee to get in. Get yourself a fine glass of wine in the Wine Tasting room. Or if you feel like vibing, you can just go upstairs and treat yourself with some 90’s jam by the incredible unplugged bands. Myanmar’s Famous singer/song writers perform there occasionally. Embrace the night life of Yangon and enjoy some traditional appetizers. Friendly advice tho, don’t go there at weekdays. It’s a pretty much boring place except for the weekends.

We went there last night for first time. Both foods and drinks are superb 💯👍 Their so called special beer has 5 levels (actually it was a cocktail which includes beer 😄). My friend tried it up to level 3 and said that it was so strong. Their cocktails are so strong too....made us drunk with 2 glasses. (can save money 😁) We were satisfied with Tipsy Bar.

Better reserve a table in advance if you plan to enjoy the live band. The menu has recently undergone an upgrade, which I found interesting and tasty. However, the cocktails could use a bit of improvement. The servers were attentive and friendly.

Very nice cocktail bar frequented mostly by young locals. Good variety of cocktails plus they also have some decent bar-type food. Good service by friendly staff. Try some of their specialty cocktails, such as the "Walk like an Egyptian" or "Democracy". Good place to hangout with friends after work.

You need to book a table to be on the safe side , bcos they have a performing band and the best seats are usually spoken for. Can’t fault the service and the attentiveness. Lovely space and decent drinks . Great ambience

Choose ground floor if you wanna enjoy the band. 1st floor to feel some greens and 2nd floor to feel the night breeze. Good place to chill with colleagues and friends. Nice ambience and clean. Accept card payment as well.

Such a good place!!! We tried all of their Barrell aged cocktails and the first 3 were amazing! (Egyptian, elixir, pinabarrel) the last one was good but ordinary (Democracy). Also ate samosa, fish and chips - was tasty! The vibes in the place are awesome and the music is in the right volume so you can hear it but still be able to talk to the people around you. I think it's better to have a reservation but I don't really know how crowded this place is.

The place is located on the street. Street side car parkings are available. Usually, I sat on the 2nd floor. Indoor and outdoor seating is available on 2nd floor. There is a pool table and it can be played for free. Food - average Price - 5k to 7k for some of the dished

Located at the 20th floor of Sakura Tower. The view is spectacular but pricey a bit. Chinese style fried noodle dish is recommended to try. The waiters are very friendly too.

The bar is located on the 20th floor of the Sakura building, easy to find, very windy. It has a beautiful view to the Sule Pagoda and some places in the Yangon’s downtown, especially in the night or sunset . You can sit outside for chilling. Drinks and food aren’t so good but reasonably priced (5,000 - 15,000 kyats). Friendly staffs.

The bar is chill and the prices are reasonable. Sometimes the service gets slow but the waiters are polite so it’s all good.

Entrance fee is 5000MMK which can be used for one drink. In the happy our (5pm to 7pm) every drink is 5000MMK. The view over Yangon is very good. The appetizers, except the cashew nuts, are not that good. It is not allowed to just take photos from the top, so pay the entrance fee, have a drink and take your photos ;)

Yangon Yangon rooftop bar in Sakura Tower offers stunning views of the city from its high vantage point. The atmosphere is sophisticated and upscale, with comfortable lounge seating and a modern decor. The drinks menu is extensive and includes a wide range of cocktails, wines and beers, as well as non-alcoholic options. The food menu features a mix of Western and Asian dishes, with a focus on small plates and sharing platters. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of the experience justifies the cost. Overall, Yangon Yangon is a great spot for a romantic night out or a classy evening with friends. However, the bar can get crowded during peak hours, so it's recommended to make a reservation in advance.

5 star views 2 star prices. Happy hour 5-7. 5 kat entrance but that pays for your first cocktail otherwise 7 kat after 7pm. Long island tea was nice if you dont see your cocktail ask them to make it :) Live band 8.30ish thurs.

Entrance fee is 10000 MMK includes a drink worth of 5000 MMK. It has really good view of the downtown. Accept cash only. Right next to the sky bistro as well and the food is good.

If you are not going there for meal. You don't have to pay 500mmk entrance fee to the clutter of restaurants. If just for sight seeing. There is a plywood path build near the lake before the entrance. You can just take that path to see the lake. You can't walk around the lake. Is blocked and be careful of those holes on the path. Only the Double Dragon Stone Boat there for you to take pictures. Other then that nothing good to see. Those path that can be walk on is surround by building. No nature, so don't waste time coming here.

The lake is a nice spot for a morning run. There are various entrances to the park surrounding the lake - on the southern side some will charge an entrance fee but access from the northern side was free of charge as of January 2020. The park on the northern side allows for some great pagoda views. At the time of writing this a boardwalk was being erected on the southern-west side but it was not complete, yet.

Beautiful place to visit with family. It is a nice picnic spot.

This lake and the walk around it, it worth the effort. It is not a pristine English garden. The lake is full of algae and there is a bit of rubbish around. But the boardwalk has just been replaced and the new one creates a really nice way to walk around the lake. (FEB 2020 - It is almost finished but there are a few parts that are just being completed. There did not seems to be any signs , but you can find yourself at a dead end and have to walk back in a few places when you come upon the next lot of construction) All in all a great walk around.

Looks good from little distance. Lot of the wooden boards of the side walking lane are broken and men were drinking in the walk. It is worth to visit and you can see the Pagoda from the lake. It has malls and restaurants near the lake.

A large and shallow artificial lake filled with water from bigger Inya Lake. It's a beautiful lake with a more than 6000 m long wooden bridge, constructed around it. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately :)), parts of the bridge are being repaired so that you can't get everywhere, i.e. to Karaweik Palace restaurant (december 2019), walking over it.

A very big and beautiful area to walk around or relax. A few drinks stalls and toilets spotted about but no toilet paper so remember to bring your own.

So dirty and unorganized. Mostly was for local, not really touristy as other typical China town. Located next to Downtown Yangon. You can also hire the tricycle, I paid 10k Kyatts for 1 hour. No English for sure. Night time, on 19th street where all the tourists go to.

It’s fun to go there. There is a variety of food stalls and have a wet market. If you are looking to buy sweets, snacks and etc you can find there. Other than that, there’s nothing else much to do except to pay respect at the monastery.

One of most famous place in Yangon. Foods taste was good. And cheaper. Just 1200kyat for 1 glass of beer I paid around 50000kyat for 4~5person.

Super Cool place to Hang out. Low cost, lot of people, Good variety of food. What NOT.

Near Theingyi Market on Sunday afternoon in June 18, 2023.

This place is very beautiful street at night life of yangon and theme of middle city. I walk .buy food and have dinner every holiday.

As usual. Crowded and full of food, beer, strong drink, and more. Can't stay pass midnight becaus of curfew. But still nice to walk around and open your taste buds. Now many food stalls and shops reopening.

Nice place to chill but never go in the afternoon between 3 PM - 6 PM cause they ares till preparing and air cons are not still operated. If you want nice view, sit outside but it's cooler than inside.

One of the best rooftop bar in town. The prices are fair and I loved their fried noodle . The staffs are pretty friendly as well but being only one toilet bothers customers sometimes.

Belong to the local more than tourist.

You can drink there. Therr are some snack and eats. But it closes early, and you have to find it first, as if you do not know it is there there is no label whatsoever. Pricing is at least matching that of other better bars, ambiente not. Still, good thing is personnel is skilled.

Although it could have been a decent place to chill, a man who they mentioned as the MANAGER had bad manners and not orientated customer satisfaction. We were told to be quiet (not in gentleman way) even though it was a ROOFTOP bar where no neighborhood around. FYI, we have been to almost all the nice places to hang out not only in Yangon, but also around the world. I'm still not mentioning "small apartment space", "have only one toilet", "super traffic at rush hour" and "no parking lots" which is the big current issue in Yangon. As for pricing, meh, big amount with no good service. IMO, I'd skip CoCoon next time. အတိုချုပ်​ပြောရလျှင် မန်​နေဂျာ ဆက်ဆံရေး အဆင်မ​ပြေပါခင်ဗျာ။

Good place to chill and promotions are very interested. For better view, you should reserve before you go. Food are very delicious and customer-service are very delightful

Decent price and just okay food. Every time i go there, it is too crowded and noisy. There is no designated parking. The place had become a little old and dirty over the years. But you get what you pay for at cocoon.

I’d give one star for hospitality of staffs cuz they are quite helpful. Food are expensive and taste is totally unsatisfied.

We stayed here as guests so we had a lovely and relaxing breakfast here. Very good view so I believe the night view here is good as well! Here is also a bar so come here for a drinks to enjoy the city of Yangon!! Friendly staff :)

Great view over the Kandawgyi Lake. Prices are amazing, you can drink, smoke and eat there almost for free! Service is nice and the place is clean. Would come back there anytime!

It is a rooftop with beautiful scenery both in the morning and in the night. The food is a little expensive, but you can see the most beautiful scenery in Myanmar

Great view, pretty good menu (in dollars!!! aka - pricey), takes Visa (hmm.. and possibly other cards??), some hit-'n-miss live music. Huge downside is they have no clue how to use acoustic deadening on the ceiling to help chillout the racket that builds up as conversations start to flow and subpar music starts rolling..

*music blasted in my ears* thank you sir may I have another

Breath taking view of kandawgyi lake with buffet breakfast available every morning till 10 am. Lunch and dinner menus also available. Very quite place.

I would prefer a simpler menu...had a hard time identifying which was their best seller and asked their waitstaff to recommend. They recommended this korean chicken so sure we ordered. Had a trio of sourness with their signature korean fried chicken. Sauce is sour, pickles are sour, kimchi yogurt was sour. To that we had two tacos, the taco skin was thick and brittle.

Nice and cozy place to hangout with the loved ones. The burger taste really good .. 18000MMK as time of writing is worth the eat.

Back in Ygn and checked out the new port autonomy bar following a recommendation. I was disappointed with the new decor, looked a bit cheap, preferred the look of Union bar back then. I was there for an event with a dj and it just wasn't happening so we moved to PH rooftop.

Nice place to chill with groups, spacious and lots of drinks. However, not many items for the juice.

Cooler interior decorations and as a fan of Port Autonomy since its first location, nothing much to say. Food is great as usual and drinks awesome as ever

Didn't go much to the Union Bar recently but I can say the place was much nicer before. The new design is cheap and looks cheap. Did not want to go back to this place again but went to meet a friend there last few weeks ago who was already there. When i arrived I was very happy to hear the friend wanted to move on as he also did not like that space. So we move to a proper place for a friday night... This place Port Autonomy is ugly and has no style. Skip it !

A regular customer since its first days on the the jetty until now in its permanent home on Strand road, I can easily say that this restaurant hosts the best parties with the most inventive fusion menu in Yangon. The staff also knows how to take care of you. If you’re looking for good fun, great food, excellent music and to make fun memories in Yangon - this is the spot!

Visited for the Friday movie night. They only offered two special drinks for the occasion. It would be nice if they allowed guests to bring their own bottle. Overall, it seems like a fun spot to hang out with your date or friends and enjoy a rooftop movie experience.

Love what they did with the place. Unlike other fancy rooftops, this one is more casual and you instantly feel at home, relaxed. Riuji the manager was very friendly and made sure we had a great time with my friends. If you want something different from trendy rooftops, go there! It's also reasonably priced. Hoping to try some food on my next visit.

5 years of loving this place. Whoever you decided to put behind the bar tonight is one of the single worst bartenders I have ever encountered. The attitude was outrageous. Him x1, me times 30. Please, never have him again. Really.

We ordered foods and it took around 1 hour to get it. Although the shop was literally empty. Views are good tho.

Amazing view of the pagoda. Lovely decoration. Inexpensive drinks

We went here looki g for a rooftop bar. The place on the 8th floor was in virtual darkness with only 2 other customers in there. There was no music, no atmosphere and no reason to return. The entrance was accessed along a hotel corridor - at least the residents would not be disturbed by too many revellers passing their doors. The beer was pricier than in the next nearest rooftop bar on the 20th floor, which has music, lots of atmosphere and an interesting mix of customers. Not worth the effort of going unless you are spending more than a few days here and wish to ring the changes.

Underrated and really good value for money.

Probably one of the most best experiences I had in Yangon, visiting the Shwedagon Pagoda. Pictures online don't capture how truly majestic and magnificent this structure is. The way it glows in the daytime or at night, will simply capture your attention everytime.

The Shwedagon Pagoda is Myanmar’s most sacred Buddhist site, a 112 meter tall golden stupa in Yangon. It was constructed 2,600 years ago which is now the oldest Buddhist stupa in the world. Houses relics of the past four Buddhas, including eight hairs of the current Buddha, making it a pilgrimage site of global importance. The pagoda complex is adorned with thousands of gold plates, diamonds, rubies, and other significant stones. We were so lucky that it was sunny the day we went since it is rainy season in Yangon and it was raining most of the time while we were there. It was scorching hot that day, we cannot stay for more than an hour to see the huge complex. I was only able to take few photos as we were both melting and the tile floor can get very hot, I was walking like a kangaroo on barefoot. No footwear allowed upon entering. I was in awe with the beauty and history of the pagoda and other temples. Truly thankful to be able to see this complex for once in my life travels. #labonitaviajera #iamkbonita #shwedagonpagoda

The place is huge and very impressive. The ticket is 25000 and you have to pay in cash and ATM is only inside(!), so you can’t get inside unless you have cash. Girls who give tickets won’t let me in, I was lucky a guide helped me P.S. the ticket says that the price is 10000, so not about legitimacy of their posters

The Shwedagon Pagoda is the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar, as it is believed to contain relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa. It is also known as the Great Dagon Pagoda and the Golden Pagoda, is a gilded stupa located in Yangon, Myanmar. The stupa is made of genuine gold plates

The Shwedagon Pagoda is without a doubt the most iconic and sacred site in all of Myanmar. Towering majestically over Yangon, this golden stupa is not only a religious monument but a symbol of the nation’s spiritual heart and cultural pride. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is deeply moving. The pagoda glows with a brilliant golden hue, especially breathtaking at sunrise or sunset when the light dances across its gilded surface. Believed to enshrine relics of four Buddhas, including strands of Gautama Buddha’s hair, the site holds immense spiritual significance for Buddhist devotees. The complex itself is vast and filled with richly decorated shrines, prayer halls, and smaller stupas. Every detail—from the ornate carvings to the flickering candlelight —reflects centuries of devotion and artistry. The soft chanting of monks, the scent of incense, and the sight of locals and pilgrims in prayer create an atmosphere of deep peace and reverence. Shwedagon is not just a place to visit—it’s an experience to absorb. Whether you're there for spiritual reasons, cultural exploration, or simply to admire its architectural splendor, the pagoda leaves a lasting impression. It is a must-see landmark that captures the soul of Myanmar. The Shwedagon Pagoda is located on Singuttara Hill in Dagon Township, Yangon, Myanmar. Towering over the city, it can be seen from many vantage points, especially near Kandawgyi Lake. To reach the Shwedagon Pagoda, tourists can take taxis or buses from downtown Yangon, such as Line 8 or Line 11. While buses stop nearby, the easiest and most convenient option is by taxi, which typically takes about 15–20 minutes. There are four main entrances: South, West, North, and East. The southern entrance is wheelchair accessible and includes an elevator. International tourists are required to pay an entrance fee of approximately 10,000 Kyat. Opening hours: Daily from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Things to know before visiting: Visitors must dress appropriately, wear long pants or a skirt that covers the knees and a shirt with sleeves that covers the shoulders. Avoid tight or revealing clothing. Shoes and socks must be removed before entering. Best time to visit: Early morning or evening—to enjoy the cool air and stunning light, especially during sunset when the golden pagoda gleams against the sky. It’s customary to walk clockwise around the pagoda, refrain from loud conversation, and avoid pointing your feet at sacred objects. There is a tourist service center, and inside the museum, you'll find displays of religious antiques and historical exhibitions.

Very nice experience to go here in the evening. Last time I went in the daytime so it was another kind of experience. In brief, very nice and beautiful. Very big place so you should spare at least 1 hour to be here.

Always have some person go with you and provide some introduction of the pagoda without agree from you and will ask for tip from you. Better take sun glasses.

This is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in Yangon, known for its largest Buddha image in Myanmar. The Buddha statue was first built in 1907 as an open-air sitting Buddha. It was unfortunately blown up by the Japanese in the Second World War. It was rebuilt in 1953 to the current white big reclining Buddha. Besides the Buddha statue, there are also painting depicting the life of Buddha on the wall. Worth a visit

Chaukhtatgyi Reclining Buddha is the third-largest reclining Buddha in Myanmar, located in Yangon. The Buddha statue is incredibly beautiful, measuring 65 meters long and 16 meters high. One of its most special features is its very large and expressive eyes, which add to its majestic appearance. Walking to the back, you will find Thep Than Jai, where visitors can ask for blessings and make wishes. The reclining Buddha is truly magnificent and offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere. Visitors can also climb the stairs at the back of the Buddha to take stunning pictures, providing a unique perspective of this grand statue. I highly recommend visiting this temple for those interested in Buddhist culture and history or simply to admire its beauty and tranquility.

Visited on November 15, 2024 Today, I had the chance to visit Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple in Yangon, and it was an absolutely stunning experience. The temple is home to a massive reclining Buddha statue, which is the highlight of the site and truly breathtaking. The reclining Buddha at Chaukhtatgyi is enormous—66 meters long—and beautifully crafted. Its serene expression and the intricate details, especially on the soles of the feet with 108 sacred symbols, were fascinating. Standing in front of such a grand statue, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of calm and reverence. The colors and design of the Buddha make it visually striking, and it’s a sight I’ll never forget. The temple’s peaceful atmosphere was one of the best parts of my visit. It wasn’t crowded, and the gentle sound of chanting and the aroma of incense created a tranquil setting. Watching the locals offering flowers and prayers gave me a deeper appreciation of the space as a living, spiritual place. Getting to the temple was straightforward, and entry was free, though I left a small donation. The grounds were well-kept, and there were shaded areas where I could sit and take in the atmosphere. It was nice to see that photography was allowed, so I could capture some memories without feeling intrusive. Dress Code: Make sure to wear modest clothing, covering shoulders and knees. Best Time to Visit: I went before lunch and it is very humid outside. Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple is a must-visit if you’re in Yangon. The reclining Buddha alone is worth the trip, and the peaceful environment made it a perfect escape from the city. It’s a place I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Myanmar.

Worth visiting. Very peacefull. Didnt expect to be that big in person. Spend minutes admiring Buddha's face and the way his manicured hand support his head. The bare metal frames and trusses adds the charm to the temple. One of the most memorable temples I visited around Southeast Asia

The pagoda notes for its huge reclining Buddha image. It is amazing and much bigger than I thought. Spend time to stroll around there you will learn many things about Buddhism in Myanmar. This pagoda is open for visitors. You should visit this place.

Beautiful space. Easily accessible. Reminder for westerners, it is a temple and so there are certain dress requirements. The Buddha is huge. Much bigger than I expected. There is a raised viewing platform to see a different perspective. It does get quite hot, so morning might be better

A must visit large scale lounging Buddha if you are in Yangon. A very beautiful and serene place. Much bigger than I expected. I love this magnificent and peaceful place.

The biggest and most respected deity in Myanmar Sule Pagoda is a pagoda built over 2,000 years ago. It is a golden octagonal pagoda located in the center of the roundabout in Yangon. The base of the pagoda has a Buddha image for each day of birth to worship according to tradition. As for praying to the deity, it can grant a blessing. There is a secret: you must pray only once to use it as power for worship. Do not change your mind. Foreigners entrance fee: 10,000 Kyat/person.

If you are in Yangon, this is a place you should visit. There is a park nearby where you can relax and unwind. The scenery near the pagoda is also very beautiful.

Nice from the outside, near Independence statue. I dropped by in the evening so I did not come inside. Will do next time.

Sule Pagoda is an ancient octagonal pagoda located in the heart of the city, surrounded by many roads leading to it. It is a sacred place situated at the center of travel in Yangon, making it a significant cultural and spiritual landmark. Around the base of the pagoda, there are Buddha images designated for each day of birth, allowing visitors to worship according to their birth day. The surroundings of the pagoda are incredibly beautiful, with the golden pagoda standing in striking contrast to the green-roofed buildings nearby. To visit the pagoda, visitors must remove their shoes outside, as is customary in every temple in Myanmar. Shoes and socks must be taken off at the entrance as a sign of respect. Sule Pagoda is a must-visit destination for those who want to experience the spiritual and cultural essence of Yangon, offering both a serene atmosphere and a glimpse into the city’s rich heritage.

Sule Pagoda is a must-visit gem in the heart of Yangon! This stunning octagonal stupa, believed to be over 2,500 years old, enshrines a sacred relic of the Buddha, making it a significant pilgrimage site. Surrounded by vibrant streets and colonial architecture, the atmosphere is both lively and serene. Visiting during sunset offers breathtaking views as the golden spire glistens against the sky. Don’t miss this iconic landmark; it’s not just a pagoda but a symbol of resilience and history in Myanmar!

Visited November 14, 2024 Sule Pagoda, located in the heart of Yangon, is a stunning testament to Myanmar’s rich spiritual and architectural heritage. My visit today left a lasting impression, although the experience was slightly hampered by the midday heat. The golden stupa of Sule Pagoda stands out amidst the city’s busy streets, glowing brightly even under the harsh sun. Its unique octagonal shape and intricate details reflect centuries of craftsmanship. With a history dating back over 2,000 years, it remains an essential spiritual landmark and a beautiful sight to behold. Inside the pagoda, the serene atmosphere was a welcome relief from the chaos of the streets outside. Devotees were quietly praying and making offerings, adding to the sacred ambiance. While the peacefulness inside was soothing, the heat during my pre-lunch visit made it harder to fully enjoy the experience. The entrance fee for foreigners is 10,000 MMK, which is well worth it for the opportunity to explore this historic site. However, I strongly advise against walking to the pagoda, especially during the late morning or midday. The heat was intense, and it made the journey exhausting—opting for a taxi or Grab would be a much better choice. A few meters away from the pagoda, there is a viewpoint that offers a great perspective of Sule Pagoda surrounded by the bustling cityscape. It’s a fantastic spot for taking photos and appreciating the contrast between the ancient stupa and modern Yangon. Sule Pagoda is a must-visit for its stunning architecture and spiritual significance. While the midday heat and surrounding city chaos can be challenging, the pagoda’s beauty and the nearby viewpoint make it a rewarding experience. Just plan your visit carefully, and you’ll appreciate this iconic landmark fully.

Unluckily it was heavy rain day. However, this temple is one of the best place I have visited in ASEAN. Peaceful and architecturally clean and beautiful. One of the place to recommend for sightseeing in Yangon.

One of the best soup noodle I've ever tasted in my life. Visited way back before the whole pandemic thing. The space is cramped but jam-packed with people, showing how popular this place is despite the unassuming appearance. Was lucky to have a seat when I arrived. And right after I stood up to leave, people were already taking the place again. Everything was clean, with polite and good servants. Can't really remember the price anymore though. But one thing for sure, if you are in Yangon by any chance and love soup noodle, this is a must to try.

This noodle shop is located in Chinatown and is quite easy to find. The area is bustling and lively, which adds to the atmosphere. However, the shop doesn’t have air conditioning, so it can get uncomfortably hot, especially in the summer. The space is also relatively small, making it feel a bit cramped. The food is simple and home-style — nothing fancy, but decent and satisfying. Prices are reasonable, and the owner is friendly, giving it a down-to-earth vibe. It’s a typical, no-frills noodle shop. Overall, it’s a convenient place for a quick meal in a busy area. If you don’t mind the heat and the basic setting, it’s worth a try. Overall rating: 3.5 stars

If you’re visiting Yangon and want to try authentic Shan noodles in a casual, no-fuss setting, 999 Shan Noodle Shop is a must. Tucked into a small storefront downtown, it’s been a long-time favorite among locals, expats, and tourists alike, and for good reason. The menu is simple but hits all the right notes. The star is, of course, the Shan noodle, served either dry or in soup, with tender slices of pork or chicken, fresh herbs, and just the right balance of seasoning. It’s comforting, flavorful, and always satisfying. Other popular options include sticky rice with pork, fried tofu, and Shan-style tomato salad. Service is fast and friendly, and the place is well-run despite being compact and often busy. Prices are very affordable, making it easy to try multiple dishes without overspending. What we liked: • Delicious, authentic Shan noodles • Quick and efficient service • Affordable pricing • Clean and welcoming atmosphere despite the small size What could be better: • Seating is limited during peak hours • Not ideal for large groups 999 Shan Noodle Shop is the kind of place you’ll likely come back to more than once during your stay in Yangon, simple food, done right.

Considering the name which is a noodle house, I was expecting the noodles to be different from other restaurants but it tastes the same as my hotel’s breakfast and my grab takeaway. I would’ve given it a 3 star if not for the delicious chicken potato croquet! I loved it. I usually can’t finish 5 pcs but I chomped it all off!

Clean, affordable, fresh food that foreigners can enjoy. My go-to spot for Shan food. I've eaten at the shop as well as ordered from FoodPanda. Even when ordering from FoodPanda, the food quality is good.

A very simple hole in wall noodle shop and other Burmese specialties, too.

I really loved my experience at 999 Shan Noodle House. The food has an excellent Taste and Quality and really showcased good Burmese Food. The Staff was all top notch and made you feel very comfortable. Especially the man how I believe is the owner of the shop was amazing. As a foreigner the staff really took there time to explain and give recommendations on what to try. On my next visit to Myanmar I will definitely visit again.

This is the best place to buy gifts or souvenirs. They offer anything from traditional garments, shirts and polos (I bought a few and they’re of good quality!), jewelry, paintings, and other trinkets. Definitely a must go place for tourists wanting to see handmade local crafts and souvenirs!

Extremely authentic place to visit if you are into arts. Looks like a big art gallery, a mix of modernity and past. Lots of things can be purchased there from jewellery to paintings. There are also dining experiences available. Lots of public restrooms. Overall, interesting calm walk-through the whole market.

Traditional market but it was not a happy feeling after I got back in the hotel checking my purchases. After converting what I’ve paid for 5 items I bought, surely I paid 3X for what it should be. I just wish people or sellers are honest and will not do their dirty tricks to earn more. This type of experience shoo tourist away to buy. Sad, because I’m sure not all sellers are bad and must have decent sellers out there. Negative experience from visiting this market for me but in a positive note, I hope what I paid extra, helped them in a way. Overall, it is a place to buy souvenirs. Good for photo ops, with its natural local charm. #iamkbonita #labonitaviajera #myanmar

I really enjoyed my visit to Bogyoke Aung San Market! It’s a great place to walk around and explore, with so many interesting shops selling jewelry, gemstones, handicrafts, and beautiful Burmese fabrics. There’s also a good mix of souvenirs and local products, so it’s perfect for picking up something unique. The market has a lively but relaxed atmosphere, and the vendors are friendly and not too pushy. If you enjoy bargaining, you can get some great deals! There are also food stalls where you can try some local snacks. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Yangon! I’d love to come back and explore more.

Bogyoke Aung San Market in Yangon is an exceptional market, even for someone who isn’t usually a fan of touristy markets. It’s well-organized, making it easy to browse, and the selection is impressive. You’ll find beautiful items at reasonable prices, from jewelry and textiles to souvenirs. It’s a pleasure to explore, with a clean and orderly setup that sets it apart from many other markets. Definitely worth a visit!

Interesting market. Selling Various items from gems, fabrics, antiques, souvenirs etc. Visitors need to bargain for the best price

Huge bustling market which is a lot of fun to simply just wander around or pick up souvenirs and really anything else you'd ever want to buy. It can be a bit daunting to find your way around, but it's perfectly safe and there are always lots of other tourists wandering around as well. I bought a couple souvenirs and found prices were totally reasonable without needing to bargain beforehand.

Very good fine dining restaurant with an amazing atmosphere, we went in the morning and we took pictures of the beautiful lake and the ducks that were there and it was fantastic to take photos, the atmosphere was really vibrant and warm and i was pleased with the atmosphere of the place however the price for the quality of food i feel like its not too worth it, i ordered seafood spaghetti and i felt it was a little underwhelming for the price i was paying but the lamb was good but the portions were lacking though it is justifiable as it is a fine dining restraunt i just wanted to add emphasis on how you guys need a more consistent standard for all the food because i really did feel like the spaghetti was lacking and it was not worth the 50k i paid though staff were welcoming and friendly, i feel like the portion size along with the taste of the spaghetti was extremely underwhelming and i was not satisfied with the taste and i hope you guys can improve it.

Environment: 8/10 The environment is very nice. You get the view of the Inya lake and there are outdoor seats right next to the lake. But it wasn't as nice during lunchtime because of the burning sun. The decoration was colonial style and was very decorative. Food: 7/10 The taste wasn't extraordinary, the taste felt simple. Nothing too yummy but not bad either. Definitely go there for the nice environment but don't expect too much from the food.

This restaurant is located in an heritage colonial house facing Inya lake, downstairs for casual dining and upstairs fine dining. The food menu is minimal but the dishes are excellent, with a very smooth combinations of ingredients and taste; the wine list is superb and the atmosphere is unique.

Place is perfect with the lake view. Although their taste is not exquisite for the best fine dining in town but their price is. 🚨 They will come and fill ur glasses with water from reusable bottle and 1$/bottle🚨 Taste. - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price. - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Location. -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service. -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cleanliness - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the premier French restaurant in Rangoon. They have their own private bay on the water. The setting is an old colonial home and gardens. The home is luxurious and the gardens are exquisite. Even the toilets are like stepping into luxury. The food is Michelin-class in presentation, delivery, and taste. The only downside are the mosquitoes that cannot be avoided. So spray yourself or larger up the cream to keep from becoming the main meal. The tables are spaced so that each group has privacy of conversation while not appearing to be isolated. They have ample parking and security in the parking lot.

Good location at inyar lake with cool view. Green landscaping and ancient furnature collection has peaceful environment. Dishes are expensive and portion size is small. But worth to spent time and money

Love the vibe here—definitely 5 stars for that. The service was attentive as well, but the bistro menu lacked uniqueness.

Could be popular with foreigners as you get to see the food before ordering. Food is served at room temperature as is the case with most Burmese restaurants. Bring your own microwave if that's a problem. My visits years ago was 5* but quality seemed not as good this time around.

Some of them are delicious. The rest are above average. But they use clean cooking oil.

Certainly worth the taxi ride. The staff spoke English and could gave me some recommendations to the food. Will definitely come back for a meal if we are back at Yangon. Food to try: 1. Fish (small pieces fried with veg) 2. Samba Shrimps 3. Curry Chicken

You just pick what you want over the counter. The waitress serving me was helpful. She tried to explain the dishes to me. The food is slightly warmed up but at least it's clean. Similar to other Burmese i had. I love the green tea!

We had the best Burmese food here! Cheap! Amazing service and staff, very near to the Shwedagon pagoda, super tasty ( best ever!) They bring you free side dishes and soup which are fantastic. If you miss eating at this place you have missed the real Taste of Myanmar A Must!

Great reputation. Great variety of food. Service is ok. Demand is high and often lead to slow service. Sometimes you are informed that the menu you ordered is not available after 5-10 minutes. Bathroom is small but clean. A bit pricey.

Various choices such as Burmese, Shan, Thai and Chinese foods. In addition, healthy fruit juices and pork sticks are available. Located in quiet environments but a bit crowded at breakfast time.

Myanmar National Museum – Honest Impressions The Myanmar National Museum is almost empty — you might find yourself being the only visitor inside. It feels quite deserted, which can be peaceful but also a bit eerie. Bags are not allowed inside. You have to leave them at the entrance in a locker, which is securely locked. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. However, one major downside is that photography is not allowed inside the museum. This is quite disappointing, as most national museums around the world allow visitors to take photos. The museum lacks air conditioning, so it gets uncomfortably hot inside. The exhibits and overall layout feel somewhat underwhelming and basic — it gives off a rather neglected or half-hearted vibe. On the plus side, the entrance fee is cheap, just a few US dollars. But overall, it’s not a very impressive experience unless you’re deeply interested in Burmese history and have time to spare.

The national museum is well worth a visit. It has a lot of very interesting exhibits. It only costs 10,000MMK to visit and can easily take a few hours to go through. I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about Myanmar’s precolonial history.

It's a must to do if you want to want to learn more on Myanmar. The 4 floors took me ( in fast ) 2 hours but if you are an historian or cultural passioned, it will take you more. Not many people there, it's very quite and good to see the beauties and pieces, you will be alone most of the time in each hall. Very interesting is the music instruments hall on the 3rd floor and the Asian corner on the top floor.

Surprisingly empty. No bags allowed inside but there are lockers you can rent. Phones are allowed but some areas are off limits for photography. 4 floors with 3-4 galleries per floor. It has everything from Royal Regalia and thrones to prehistoric dinosaur bones. The gallery on the major tribes that make up Myanmar was fascinating as was the music and art gallery. Well worth a visit if you are in the city. Give yourself 2-3 hours to explore.

If you are spending vacation in Yagoon and also interested in learning the culture of Myanmar, the National Museum of Myanmar should be in your to-go lists. This is the main museum of Burmese art, history and culture in Myanmar. The National Museum of Myanmar is a treasure chest of priceless stone inscriptions, documents, carvings, paintings and a host of other artifacts that testify to the ancient culture and civilization of the Myanmar people. Visiting this museum enlightens one with greater knowledge and understanding of beautiful the Myanmar nation and its people. It has an extensive collection of ancient artifacts, ornaments, work of art, inscriptions and historic memorabilia, related to history, culture and civilization of Burmese people.

I was there last year people said its closed now as they plan to move it to another place so you need to check about this. But although of this I want to share my experience about this amazing museum as I really enjoyed to be there last year. First you pay as forginer 500k and you have to leave your bag at outside locker and it's mandatory The museum consist of 5 floors each one has a story and it's special and different items. If you want to know about Burma history and traditions and culture this will be the best place ever as almost show every thing you need to know specially its very hard to find someone explain all of this to you as the history of Burma is long and complicated. I took around 1.5 hours to finish my tour and still feeling its not enough. Overall its a great experience and I hope it still open.

+ Stunning ground floor of the original golden Lion throne showroom from Mandalay. Third floor golden jewelry & Forth floor custom was interesting of showing some highlights of the 135 different tribes history and fashion. + Washroom on every floor. Convenient. - Though not too impressed the young girl guide asking up front for tips if the tour is satisfactory. Reminds of like being in Cuba. Difference being in here she’s polite, friendly & attentive to everyone of our group. Cuba was total opposite. Whole trip in Myanmar has never been asked nor expected tips. - Certain area no photography nor video allowed. Lights at certain floor was quite dim. Entrance Free for locals. 5000 Y for foreigner. Nice staff. English speaking staff available to tour around.

This is a fancy bar and restaurant with a stylish atmosphere. I tried a cocktail and a chocolate cake. The cocktail was quite good, and the chocolate cake looked amazing, but the flavor didn’t quite match its appearance—it was a bit underwhelming in taste. It’s a nice spot for drinks, but the desserts might be more about presentation than flavor.

This restaurant is located on the ground floor of Hotel G. Although it claims to serve Mediterranean cuisine, the food is actually more American in style. The decor is very American too, and the background music features U.S. pop hits. It can be a bit noisy, but it’s still possible to have a conversation without raising your voice. Prices are quite high by Yangon standards. Even the cheapest items cost around 40,000 to 50,000 kyats, and some dishes go over 100,000 kyats. While this may be acceptable for foreigners, it's considered expensive for locals. I tried the beef, and it tasted like cheaper cuts—nothing particularly tender or flavorful. The food itself would get about 3.5 out of 5. The ambiance, however, is a highlight. It's clean, stylish, and there’s a bar area that recreates the feel of a typical Western bar—cozy and vibrant, very much like what you'd find in the U.S. I’d rate the atmosphere between 4 and 4.5 out of 5. Service is okay—not quite at the level of a high-end Western restaurant, but staff do check in occasionally to see how the food is, which is appreciated. Overall, I’d give this place a solid 4 out of 5. The environment is its strong point, while the food is just average and slightly overpriced. In Yangon, there aren’t many places like this, so it still stands out in its niche. If you care about value for money, the rating would drop below 4. But if you're not concerned about the cost and want a Western-style experience, 4 stars feels fair.

I’ve been a regular since around 2017. Waiting for the day it’d disappoint me, but that time hasn’t come yet. New bars and restaurants come and go in Yangon but we always go back to Babette. I think it as good as you can get in Yangon !! I’d always be thankful for the great times, good food and drinks and looking forward to many more ❤️

The place is nice and comfy. Very western vibes. The staff speaks English well. The menu has a lot of choices. None of the foods were particularly amazing for the price. The dessert was my favorite

The food was really bad. The spaghetti seafood was not fresh, especially the prawns were so smelly like frozen one… I had to spit it out immediately… I also tried one octopus salad I couldn’t eat it because it didn’t taste good… The smoked salmon was so salty… The taste and freshness of the food was so bad that it was expensive… The food is so bland that if you don’t eat it right away, it can even cause food poisoning. I will never eat there again. Forever blacklisted.

One of the best European food in town. Food are very tasty, services are good and staff are friendly. Their famous G burger 🍔 and pork ribs are highly recommended. Beef steak is also my favourite one. Lunch set is quite reasonable price.

Not a bad place. Clean and the staff are nice. My only issue was I ordered prawn curry and received only 4 on the whole bowl. It’s very expensive for what you get but they do have good fresh juices..

Usually haunted by expatriates, small but cozy. Try the path thai with vegetables, amazing! Not 5 stars because of the hygiene.

Great vibe with great Thai food. The owner was friendly and recommended us dishes like red curry and fresh spring rolls. Not recommend to order drinks with ginger because the flavor is a bit too strong and spicy.

Very nice and friendly people there and amazing curry and drinks! And as much rice as u like 🙃 Best Thai curry out of Thailand!

Very nice chill little Thai restaurant! Fresh and full of taste! Liked the shrimp salad!

Excellent green curry. Great place to have a nice quiet Thai dinner with friends. Can also highly recommend the ground pork dish (larb?). Place is Quaint. Always packed tho and quite a few private events so you should call ahead and confirm that you can be seated. They also deliver through Yangon door2door now.

Beautiful little Restaurant with a Limited but overwhelmingly delicious choice of food. The spicy vermicelli with seafood and the Red Curry couldnt have been any better. The Home made drinks are also very tasty. Just the portions could be a little bigger but the prices are fair!

Beautiful atmosphere with great local decor. Amazing business lunch menu!!! They change the daily business lunch options often. Great variety! One of my favorite places in the city! Ms. Phyu is incredible and is willing to help with special requests.

I love their concept of local training and live-and-learn. Simple dishes but splendid.

The Sizzling Saddle is the city’s best Western restaurant. Its cozy, rustic vibe creates a warm atmosphere. Friendly service and a great selection of craft cocktails make every visit special. Hands down, the top spot in town!

Really lovely restaurant operating as a training restaurant for locals. The food and service was wonderful. Decor was really well done mixing old and new. Get a seat outside on the garden if you can. Also, the training staff make their money through tips so be generous.

Loved the ambience. The chef was very friendly and he introduced us to the establishment and took us on a tour around the kitchen as well as the rooms filled with decoratives. The cause is very meaningful. The three course meal was just nice. The complimentary bread was very crusty and light in the middle. Haven't had a good baguette in along time. Would definitely go there again another day.

Charming place. The owner and staffs are super nice and friendly. The dishes are reasonably priced and tasty. Matcha latte was superb! Will try their breakfast or lunch next time.

This is a western restaurant with a gourmet setup. The waitresses are very aware and polite and do a good job. The dishes are kind of small but 3 courses make you full. The food is decent not the best i have had. I think i needs more flavor - the meat though were perfectly cooked. The restaurant is a training center where young people who cant afford an education can come into training for 11 months. The food was quiet expensive. 41.000 kyats for 3 courses. You have to pay extra tips to make sure chefs in training get an income. Not really sure how to rate this restaurant - is it a charity meal? A gourmet meal? An ordinary restaurant meal or?

Perfect spot to unwind after a long day! The ambience is cozy and welcoming. Wooden tables and chairs. The lighting is warm and welcoming. Soothing and calming music enhance the atmosphere with well padded and comfortable seating. The food is delicious with reasonable price.

This place is frequented by foreigners and locals. Food is delicious but pricey. Many of their dishes have cheese, which is very delicious. The manager is extremely friendly and provides the best service. Recommend: hamburger, sundaes, and breakfast set Do not recommend: Chicken burger and eggs benedict

Nice place to have some proper European food. Not all dishes were great but most of them were perfectly fine for their price. The service is usually attentive. The only little problem that we had was the noise, the smell and the street dogs coming from the nearby street food place. It was sometimes disturbing if you wanted to dine outside or have a smoke.

Second time eating here would happily have spent many more days working my way through the amazing menu. Unfortunately my time in Yangon has come to an end. The food was amazing and it's such good value for money. And the staff communicate so well and are extremely attentive and helpful.

This restaurant was worth coming for their galettes – more specifically any of the ones that included caramelized onions are going to net you a good time.

Tasty European food in town. Good service and their staff are also very friendly. Great location and easy to notice.

Ô'Thentic Brasserie is a must-visit gem for an authentic French experience in Yangon. The fantastic food, charming atmosphere, and superb service make it perfect for any occasion. Highly recommended!

Hello all whitey Acacia. Its One of my favorite place in Myanmar. you can enjoy food(Chinese and European), drinks(as you wish), Pastry(My lovey one choice is American cheese cake), Coffee( I would remind you pour all milk into your Americano cup but no sugar) and tea. One more there is layout, its actually different from other. Since you came in you would feel it. I loving it.

Nice vintage place. I had realy good lunch set. A lot of place and rooms for business meetings. Desserts also in a hight level. May be price is not chip but this place you should visit

Very romantic place! Take out your girl and she will be falling in love with the place and the ambience is just perfect for a date.

Pretty looking place probably one of the best in Yangon. We had some good lunch here before and pasties for breakfast. Staffs are attentive. Good service

Cosy food place with nice decoration and romantic place. Have 2 stories and outside tables. Mainly is western food and pastries. Have quite a number car park lots. They do have event place for company functions or private functions.

Great Tea Shop in Yangon. Sit for meeting, reading and working.

This place made my day. Great tea and bakeries 😍😍😍

I went there on a weekday with my friend. We were the only visitors for that evening, which made our visit even more special. The people there were so friendly as I even felt like I was visiting my family's house instead. So nostalgic, peaceful and quiet. Fresh air, green grass and tall trees made us want to comeback again. Not to mention that the warm light, photographs and wooden furnitures took us back to 90s' era. It's recommended to take time and imagine to become one as you belong there. The lady there told us that we would not need to make a payment for future visits. And she also let us know that they open to everyone to read books and chill in December. Wish you all had great memories there.🩵

It’s a relatively inconspicuous and hidden gem among all the sightseeing spots in Yangon and rest of the Myanmar. U Thant was an avant garde statesman not only from Myanmar but was a towering personality among the world leaders. This museum offers incredible insights of the less-talked about Asia icon and an apostle of peace worldwide. The tiny museum hidden in one bucolic part of Yangon is a must visit place for any scholar or journalist or any one who loves history and geopolitics. It’s a unique museum where the staff welcome you touch every memorabilia on display to make your experience more interactive and insightful. Two of the staff I met at the museum, Miss May and Miss Sie Sar, were immensely helpful and fluent in English to help me understand the incredible man U Thant was. It’s a small but amazingly neat museum with great information available for the viewers to know more about U Thant and his monumental works for the United Nations. It’s indeed a must visit place in Yangon.

It’s a very informative visit to understand the life of a former UN General Secretary U Thant. The house is renovated becoming very clean and cozy. The guide is very nice and attentive as well. They even offer a tour for only me. As to the location, don’t trust google map, read the official website to enter from Inya Road, a signage could be found in Inya road. Make the reservation online.

The tour was so insightful and the facilitators or guides were really friendly! The exhibit was also really inspiring and allowed us to get to know U Thant and his advocacies.

Well worth a visit ... we had a great time. The house and gardens are delightful, and the tour is very informative and done by some very well informed guides that spoke prefect English and were super friendly. We spent well over an hour there and there was still more to investigate. It's both a museum and learning center so well set up to inform and educate older children. It's probably worth making a booking to ensure that you can get the tour. Entrance fee is MMK20,000 for foreigners and MMK10,000 for locals and well worth it.

Best museum I’ve seen in Rangoon. Well designed spaces with good information. The internal transcripts on the Cuban Missile Crisis were particularly interesting. The girl on duty was very knowledgeable about U Thant and explained the photos well. I also enjoyed talking to her about Yangon University, where she’s currently taking her Masters at. Would have loved to chat with her more but was pretty much chased off by rampant mosquitoes, especially in the garden. If you’re walking to this house using Gmaps, don’t walk in from the U Wisara main road like I did! You gotta come in via Chindwin Road from Inya Road instead.

Former UN secretary general, U Thant, stayed this house before he worked for UN. The exhibition in the house shows his life and how he worked hard for the peace of the world. There is small room to watch videos and many panels to explain his life. The house had been renovated recently so not many furniture can be seen as he stayed, but it's clean nice place to visit.

Besides the fact that the marbles are too hot are your feet get almost burned as you walk bare foot, the Pagoda is quite spectacular both inside and out.

Swe Taw Myat Pagoda, also known as the Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda, was constructed to enshrine a sacred tooth relic of Gautama Buddha. This relic, believed to be one of Buddha’s teeth, was brought from China in 1994 and displayed for 45 days for public homage. The pagoda, funded by donations from Burmese and international Buddhists, features an ivory replica of the relic today. Its design is inspired by the ancient Ananda Pagoda in Bagan, and it uniquely allows public viewing of the relic, which is typically hidden in most pagodas. The best times to visit Swe Taw Myat Pagoda to avoid crowds are early in the morning around sunrise or in the evening around sunset. These times offer pleasant weather and a more tranquil experience, as the pagoda is generally less busy during these hours. The pagoda is open daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, and planning your visit for 2 to 3 hours is ideal for a thorough exploration.

Worth the visit! It's very calm in the morning, not too many people around. Inside there's the tooth relic, but no description of what you're looking at, so I didn't even know there was a sacred tooth. The intricate details on windows and doors are just super nice. The road to the pagoda is also very beautiful, lined by trees and you pass by a small lake. The official entry fee for foreigners is 3000 MMK

This Pegoda is bit far from the central yangon, it's quite near the airport. But it's worth seeing. I would suggest best time to go is in the evening when you can see the day light and well as the dawn from the Pegoda. The lighting inside the Pegoda is mesmerizing. It is said Buddha's tooth is placed here. I loved it I hope you guys will as well

Swe Taw Myat Pagoda or ” Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda ” is one of the most sacred worship in Yangon. A lot of travelers when traveling Myanmar have selected Swe Taw Myat Pagoda is the first destination. This temple is not very large but really nice with beautiful architecture. Unlike most relics of the Buddha, the Buddha’s relics at Swe Taw Myat are so well displayed that public can admire. The Swe Taw Myat Pagoda is located on a small hill called Dhammapala in the town of Mayangone, south of Yangon Airport. The main entrance is exquisitely decorated and located on Sware Taw Myat road. The easiest way to get there is by taxi, at a cost of about 5,000 Kyat from downtown Yangon. The Swe Taw Myat Pagoda was built to house and worship the sacred relics of the Buddha, believed to be a relic of Gautama Buddha who died 2,500 years ago. Along with the relics of Buddha’s tooth, which came from the original two ivories, all these artifacts are still preserved today. Sweat Taw Myat Pagoda was constructed with unique architecture. It is a large white building decorated with gold motifs, according to the ancient Ananda temple in Bagan, built in the late 11th century. Sweat Taw Myat Pagoda is a pagoda with four entrances in four symmetrical directions. The stairs to each entrance are surrounded by a pair of white and yellow Chinthe – a lion-like mythical creature – in Burma this is a mascot that people believe it is born to protect temples and pagodas. There are stalls inside the pagoda where worshipers can buy flowers, incense and other offerings. In the center of the great hall, the roof of the pagoda is composed of many small roofs piled up in the middle, with various large painted gold columns arranged harmoniously looks like a formal umbrella. Many details of this pagoda are decorated intricately. In the middle of Sweat Taw Myat Pagoda, the ivory burial site is stored in a small cylindrical glass box, placed on a cylindrical, multi-storey tall pedestal. The top has a towering roof with many small jade Buddha statues around. The people of Burma come here often carrying gold leaves to lap the statue of Buddha for blessing. Tourists should note that you have to leave your shoes outside before entering the pagoda.

Exquisite. Carefully preserved tooth relic of Buddha, kept in a majestic temple. What was touching, though, was the reverence displayed by a security guard who came forward respectfully to help in taking a photograph of the relic. The respect and veneration shown towards monks by the people of Myanmar is exemplary. In no pagoda are monks charged for tickets.

Pay homage to Buddha's tooth relic at this pagoda. A nice place for your inner peace. You may find Birds and Sparrows noisy sometimes.

I visited The Secretariat in Yangon on January 9, and it’s a fascinating place to explore. This stunning Victorian-era building has so much charm and history. There’s a small entrance fee if you want to access the courtyard and go inside the building, which is worth it to fully experience the space. The site also has some lovely cafés and lunch spots, perfect for a break. I noticed a wedding planning company here as well, specializing in European-style honeymoons. It’s a wonderful mix of history, culture, and modern touches.

The Secretariat Yangon is located in the downtown area of Yangon. Built during the colonial era, it reflects the architectural style of that time. It stands as a unique cultural heritage site and an important historic landmark in the city.

The Secretariat in Yangon is a must-visit for history and architecture enthusiasts. This Victorian-colonial masterpiece, once the seat of British administration in Burma, spans almost 16 acres in the heart of Yangon. The building is undergoing a multi-year renovation, but parts of it, including the East Wing and North Wing, are open to the public. Visitors can explore museum and art exhibit spaces, cultural and private event spaces, guided tours, retail shops, restaurants, and commercial office spaces. The surrounding flowering gardens add to the charm of this historic landmark. It's a great spot for a short visit to soak in the rich history and beautiful architecture of Yangon.

The tour was awesome, actually one of the most interesting tours I've ever done, highly recommended and lasts 45 minutes!

Another interesting place in Yangon!! There are so many photospots (instagramic) either.. If you like less crowded, u'd better go within weekdays.

Very historical place.. many memories of our hero

Thanks to one previous review regarding the unworthy entry fee of 5k for foreigners. Noticed the fresh paint on the exterior of a few buildings, and the "no entry" notice at one corner. It is still free to casually browse along the other side of the restaurant and cafes. Hope spmeone could share an update on its prospective development of the exhibits in the future.

One of the best place to enjoy BBQ with the friends and family at night.

ALWAYS busy on weekend ! Good food and many bar options and street foods - good atmosphere

Nice place for fun

19th Street is an iconic destination located in the heart of the city’s Chinatown, within the Latha Township. Many people know it as a Yangon nightlife and street food corner in the narrow street it brings a fantastic evening for both locals and tourists. It is not only known as a spot for offering assorted barbecues and drinks but also all visitors will have a memorial experience of the live evening of 19th street.
