The crew behind Auckland’s Café Hanoi have teamed up with Cheshire Architects to create another alluring space. Saan combines a beautiful room with chef Lek Trirattanavatin’s delectable food, which hails from the Isaan and Lanna regions of Thailand.

Just as in Café Hanoi, there’s a hint of the tropics in the light filtering through timber blinds, but the Cheshire team has dialled down the colour to a soft palette of neutrals with pale timber, wicker booths and ceramic pendants.

It’s as if the interiors have been designed as a cool counterpoint to the wonderfully tasty food.
