Myanmar: Top 10 Places to Eat in Yangon, Yangon, Myanmar

Yangon is an amazing city undergoing exciting change and the food scene is burgeoning, to say the least. I had so many great eating (and drinking) experiences I had to share my top 10 places to eat in Yangon.

Only a few years ago you wouldn’t have found any ethnic restaurants in Yangon but now you can try a broad range of dishes from around this diverse country. I have included everything from the most glamorous places to eat and be seen in Yangon to delicious budget-friendly options and an insider tip.

Anya Ahta serves Anya style food from the central part of Myanmar and is located on the first floor of an un-renovated colonial building on 37th Street with high ceilings and impressive art works on the walls. The owners of this Yangon restaurant (a lovely chap called Aung Soe Min) have really got it right in that it is the type of place that both locals and visitors enjoy.

I found the Anya food really different from anything else I had tasted in the country. Pricing is modest and I loved the hot and sour mango salad with pungent fried ngapi and the savoury poun-ay-gyi. Another tasty side dish (we ordered lots of these) was the maize and lady fingers. Vegetarians might like to try the dandelion curry! ......
