What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
White Swan Myanmar Tea House is lauded for its excellent ambiance, attentive service, and stunning lake views, making it a favorite spot in Yangon. While Myanmar dishes are highly praised for authenticity and reasonable prices, some reviewers found European options overpriced and less impressive. Limited menu availability and occasional long wait times for food are noted drawbacks.
"White Swan Myanmar Tea House. Classy but cozy interior with a beautiful garden. One of the best if not the best restaurant serving Myanmar food. Every element even the small pickles show focus on details. Strong and natural broth for soups, perfect with a refined balance seen in all salads. Western food so far not bad but not too authentic.
The breads and sweets are just ok and level is not as high as other elements except their looks."
Pro Eater
"We can get good atmosphere to chill for an event.
We tried European foods and the one we like most was Lasagna 👍
Price is a little on the high side but worth to go there with friends or family for special occasion."
Kay (KZW)
"Food, service, and vibes are all good. The price of the burmese foods are extremely reasonable for this being a high end restaurant. The food is authentic burmese food with high quality ingredients. I wouldn't recommend the European food - expensive and taste is not that great"
