The story
Belén by Paulo Airaudo brings European sophistication to Northern Thailand, housed within the reimagined InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping. This is the work of Michelin-starred Chef Paulo Airaudo and restaurateur Tao Ingudanananda, who together have created an intimate counter-style dining room where guests sit just steps from the chefs. The setting is deliberately small—only a select number of diners each evening—fostering a personal connection with the kitchen and a front-row view of the craft.
Chef Airaudo is known for ingredient-led, globally inspired cuisine. At Belén, that vision is translated into a menu that honours Northern Thai terroir
