Local Chiang Mai entrepreneurs Ian Hollingsworth and
Anthony Burnette of the Queen Victoria Inn fame have expanded their bar and
restaurant empire with the opening of The Gatehouse Inn Bar and Restaurant
at Thapae Gate.
The Gatehouse is located at 47 Mun Muang Road (outside the moat) and will
cater to both tourists and locals in Chiang Mai.
Following months of careful renovations the Gatehouse Inn held its opening
last week that gave guests a sneak preview of what’s to come.
The bar greets guests as they enter and it is expertly staffed by lovely
ladies who know how to serve up a drink and a smile.
There are two dining areas, the front section which looks out onto the
Thapae wall and the back room that offers a more secluded and quieter
seating area.
The back room is where you can find the large salad bar with over 20 items
including fresh fruits, vegetables, all sorts of salad greens, potato and
pasta salads and many other healthy foods.
Steak lovers will enjoy the Argentine beef in a variety of presentations and
sizes including the Entrecote, the 500 grams of T-Bone and Medallions of
beef in a Roquefort sauce. All come with a side of vegetables and a baked
(jacket) potato or steak house fries.
Fondue pots for the dippers are the imported diced beef, chicken or prawns
that you can cook at your table. There is a choice of homemade sauces to
garnish your meal. Cheese lovers can indulge in a delicious fondue of piping
hot melted cheese served for two.
One of Ian’s favorite menu items is “death by chocolate” that contains one
or two surprises from the original recipe. It’s sweet, sinful, loaded with
calories and bad for you… have it… it’s delicious.
The Gatehouse Inn is open for breakfast from 8am, lunch and dinner ‘till
late.
On Sundays they offer a traditional plated English roast lunch and very soon
renovation of the 16 guest rooms upstairs will be completed just in time for
high season.
For directions, bookings or additional information give Anthony a call on
0832 967802 or Ian on 0861 588712.
