A new chapter in fine dining by Michelin-starred Chef Paulo Airaudo

Belén brings European sophistication to the heart of Northern Thailand. Nestled within the newly reimagined InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping, the restaurant offers an intimate and immersive culinary experience that blends classical European techniques with the finest locally sourced, seasonal Thai ingredients.

The Chef's Table Experience: A Seat at the Heart of Culinary Artistry

At the heart of Belén is an elegant counter-style dining space, where a select number of guests each evening are invited to enjoy a front-row seat to the culinary artistry. This setting fosters a personal connection with the chefs and a deeper appreciation for the thought, care, and craft behind every dish.

Crafting a Culinary Narrative

Chef Paulo—renowned for his ingredient-led, globally inspired cuisine—translates his vision into a menu that honors Thai terroir with creativity, precision, and restraint. With a strong focus on sustainability, seasonality, and storytelling, Belén is not just a meal, but a multi-sensory journey through flavor, culture, and place.

One-of-a-Kind Fine Dining in Chiang Mai

Also one of a kind in Northern Thailand, Belén offers a rare opportunity to experience world-class European fine dining rooted in local tradition—where global excellence meets Northern soul.
