Pruek Thara

Just finished final meal before leaving Ayutthaya. I like their fish in red curry. Vegetable is fresh. Fried rice is good. Total bill is 490B

One of the best authentic Thai food I ever tried
Super good
Must try- prawn bbq which I paid 400 baht for each prawn so worth it!!
Morning glory and fried crispy frog with garlic
Umami and tasty! Environment is very nice

This is a spot recommended by locals for a nice casual lunch. Fried rice is especially tasty, which goes great with the fresh river prawns when available. We were introduced to river prawns because they are not available in the United States. They are between the size of lobster and big shrimp, and some parts taste more like crab. One river prawn for each person was just right.

We wrapped up the delightful meal with Thai ice cream flavors. Would definitely come again for the fried rice and river prawns.

Pros: river prawn, riverside views
Cons: narrow alley, all outdoors (where people sometimes smoke next to the restaurant)

Nice atmosphere by the river, good breeze in the evening. Food very tasty. River Prawns is big and fresh. Price is reasonable. I would definitely comeback for more.

The restaurant had a nice and relaxed ambiance. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

By the river restaurant with typical local menu including river prawns, which are fresh and sold for a good price (1400 baht per kilo, which is 4 pieces in total). Rest of our dishes were solid as well.

Thai style restaurant in Ayutthaya without the chichi pretension of Bangkok cool, design, vintage, and all that you don't need. Also without any tourist mayhem. And without tourist prices. I also tried riversider restos Ban U Thong and ร้านอาหารสายน้ำป้อมเพชร Sai Nam Pom Petch Restaurant, and Pruek Thara beats them hands down in cozy, rustic, yet unobtrusive ambience and perhaps also in taste and quality. And it's better aligned for sunset.
Just a typical Thai country restaurant with rambling multi-level wooden furniture right on the river, a caring family looking after you and delicious, healthy food; extra wishes are gracefully accepted, no problem. They do not play any music - excellent! (I mean it, I'm so tired of getting any music forced onto me.) Also no TV. Great for sunset. Not even on a weekend night completely full.
They could improve on the bathroom (clean, but old technology) and on providing mosquito repellent (there are not many mosquitoes, yet I would think

I would recommend this place no matter for family or friends or date. The food were amazing Thai taste here. My family enjoyed the big prawns so much. We will be back for sure!

Good Thai restaurant beside river, nice view, low cost and good place to dinner with friends and family.

Great riverside location. Homestyle restaurant serving up great tasting food.

Had the most lovely meal here tonight. I ordered the prawns cooked with broccoli and my boyfriend had the red curry with beef. Both delicious and such a beautiful setting! Highly recommend

Homie riverside restaurant in Ayutthaya. The river prawns are grilled perfectly and the curries are pretty good too.

We randomly stopped while on a boat tour because we ran out of beer. We ended up having a blast and some of the best Cashew Chicken I've ever had. Great people working here.

I recommend, very good food. 😁

River Prawn and Red Fish Curry was great!

Great food and very nice and chilled out setting

Love this place! Been coming here for years!

Some of the best food we had in Thailand. The prawns were especially good.

Amazing food and yet not expensive !
The owners were really nice. Peaceful place in front of the river. I highly recommend this restaurant. And it closes at 10pm, not like the others which close at 9pm.

Delicious, Good view, Good service
If you're looking for some dinning in Ayutthaya don't miss this place

However the entrance from main road to the restaurant is narrow be remind about this.
