Versailles de Flore — A French Castle Café Hidden in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai has its fair share of pretty cafés — but Versailles de Flore is something else entirely.
Step past its stone arches and gold-trimmed statues and you’ll feel like you’ve wandered out of the Old City… and into a quiet corner of France.
Inspired by the Palace of Versailles, this European-style café sits tucked along Sri Poom Road. It’s elegant without being pretentious, ornate without being overwhelming, and infused with that old-world romance that makes you slow down instinctively the moment you enter.
It’s the kind of place made for slow afternoons: wandering between flower-lined corridors, lingering over brunch, and letting conversation flow just a little easier than usual.
A Slice of Europe in the Heart of the City
The first thing you notice is the architecture — white stone walls, trailing vines, carved figures, and gold accents glimmering softly under the sun. It doesn’t feel themed; it feels lived-in, like a small château repurposed into a café.
Inside, cushioned seats and warm lighting offer the tone of a quiet European inn. Sit in the lobby for something cozy, or head outdoors for those fairytale photo spots that every visitor ends up saving to their camera roll.
Reviews rave about the atmosphere: relaxing, romantic, aesthetic, and beautifully set up for lingering. If you’ve ever wanted a quick, dreamy escape without leaving Chiang Mai, this is it.
Breakfast, Brunch & A Touch of Royal Indulgence
The menu puts a European spin on comfort classics — with a few Thai and fusion dishes making appearances too.
Some favourites include:
• English Breakfast (฿169)
Simple, hearty, and surprisingly well done — particularly the bacon, which several travellers swear is the closest to real American bacon in all of Asia.
• Victoria Afternoon Tea Set (฿499)
A crowd pleaser. Elegant, photogenic, and perfect for pairs.
• French Toast
One visitor called it “10000/10 amazing,” which tells you everything you need to know.
• Duchess — Rose, Lychee & Cherry
A signature drink that’s floral, refreshing, and very on-brand for the garden-like setting.
Portions are generous, flavours are steady, and the pricing sits comfortably in the mid-range for Chiang Mai’s café scene.
A Calm Escape for Slow Days
Unlike trend-driven cafés that get crowded the moment they go viral, Versailles de Flore feels surprisingly peaceful for how photogenic it is.
Multiple visitors highlight:
• Quiet atmosphere — even during breakfast
• Good group flexibility — great for couples, families, or friends
• Kid-friendly outdoor seating
• Easy to talk, easy to relax
Service can be mixed depending on the crowd — some days attentive and warm, other days a touch slow — but nearly all reviews agree that the ambience makes up for it.
