Vintage flavours from North Eastern Thailand 

An urban Thai restaurant in lakeside JLT, Cafe Isan is a fusion of vintage British and urban Thai styles. As part of a branding strategy, ExA Interiors designed the space around the client's branding guidelines. The authentic Thai street food feel of the Isan region, as well as the colourful culture of the people would serve as core to direction. 

To incorporate this feeling we created features such as a social bar open to the head chef, transformable indoor/outdoor spaces and fun installations though out the restaurant. Cafe Isan has kept title of “Best Budget Thai” & “Best Thai” consecutively since 2016.
