Feel Myanmar Food
An expat based in Yangon calls this laid-back restaurant a “superb place to try an excellent range of Bamar dishes. They are laid out in little trays so you can point to what you want. It’s a lunchtime must.”

Phyu Phyu Tin, the owner of this charming restaurant around the corner from The Strand, was one of the first restaurateurs to introduce the notion that Burmese food (normally eaten on the street) and an elevated dining experience can coexist. It’s a great spot for trying a host of local dishes, as well as Thai and Laotian cuisine. The airy dining room with comfy wicker chairs and a soaring ceiling is a welcome respite from the hot, crowded streets of downtown Yangon. After your meal, don’t miss the Helping Hands boutique upstairs; it’s a wonderful fair trade shop that carries lovely accessories and gifts.
