BOON CAFE

Were you ever that kid?

Were you ever that kid at school who was too embarrassed to bring out your lunch? We were those kids. But we also noticed the kid with the sandwich who always looked enviously at our lunch. Now we are a bit older we appreciate the value of our food heritage, and we want to make the 'kid with the sandwich' our version of a 'sandwich'.

Boon is our passion project to bring exciting new flavours to our loyal Chat Thai diners. Here you will find the comfort of familiar ingredients combined in completely new ways with artisanal goods from the best local purveyors we know. If you've never had chilli-relish in a sandwich, neither had we! But we liked it and thought you might too.

We're just really having a bit of fun with our lunches, and for dinner we are keeping it traditional Isaan ~ you don't mess with the original. Sarnie's by day and Isaan by night.

As the seasons change our menu will reflect the locally sourced fresh produce available at Jarern Chai. Stay tuned and eat up.

The Boon Kitchen

Produces a mash-up of thai classics and some inventive musings on staples with artisanal ingredients from local producers along with a few daily specials. Boon respects tradition, fresh health-giving ingredients and above all, deliciousness.

Cafe - 8am to 4pm

Find a table, pull up a chair, order a sandwich or a noodle soup, have a coffee maybe a pastry & don’t forget the cold pressed boon juice.

ISAAN

The mood switches to isaan in the evening to represent one of our favourite thai food regions. The cuisine from the north east harbours unique flavours & ingredients that closely resemble Laotian staples but still very distinctly thai in execution. Expect gutsy flavours based on fermented fish, crabs, brined/pickled, fresh herbs & vegetables, more often than not it’s going to be spicy!
