Dining Experience
As we settled into JR Restaurant, we were immediately struck by the stunning views it offered. Perched near the famous Krasae Cave, the location provided a scenic backdrop, adding to the overall experience.
The Views
The views from JR Restaurant are absolutely amazing, earning a solid 5/5. Overlooking the lush greenery and the historic railway, it’s a place where history and natural beauty intertwine, offering a serene atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation after a long walk.
The Food & Drinks
One highlight was the cold beers, which were definitely a hit after the long walk across the viaduct. They provided a refreshing end to our meal and helped us cool down.
4 out of 5
Thai Noodle Prawns: This dish was good, with fresh prawns and a flavorful noodle base.
Chicken and Chips: The chicken wings and chips were well-seasoned and tasty, standing out as one of the better options.
Salads and Rice: The salads were fresh and complemented the other dishes well. The rice was a standard accompaniment, nothing extraordinary but satisfying.
Crispy Fried Pork Neck: The pork neck was ok but spicier than expected. We had asked for it to be not spicy, but it came out quite hot, which was a bit of a letdown.
The food at JR Restaurant was quite good overall, earning a 4/5. Here’s a breakdown of our meal:
The Service
The service, however, was a bit lacking, earning a 3/5. It took a considerable amount of time for us to be served, and getting drink refills was a challenge. While the staff was friendly, the slow service was a notable drawback.
Conclusion
Despite the slow service, the views from JR Restaurant make up for the wait. It’s not only a place to eat but also a spot to reflect on the journey and appreciate the beauty of Kanchanaburi Province. The combination of good food and stunning scenery provides a memorable dining experience.
This stop marked the end of our great walk along the Death Railway Viaduct. As we enjoyed our meal, we reminisced about the day’s adventures and prepared for our next destination: Hintok Cutting. This would be our final stop before heading to Home Phu Toey Resort for some more research on the Dunlop Memorial Park.
