Rangoon Tea House: A Stylish Tribute to Myanmar’s Culinary Soul

#springitinerary Tucked in the heart of downtown Yangon (formerly Rangoon), Rangoon Tea House is more than just a restaurant—it’s a revival of Myanmar’s rich tea shop culture, infused with modern flair and nostalgia. It’s where colonial charm, creative cuisine, and local flavours blend seamlessly. A Modern Take on a Beloved Tradition Inspired by the traditional laphet yay (Myanmar tea) shops, Rangoon Tea House reimagines the old-school tea-drinking experience in an elegant, airy space filled with wooden floors, vintage posters, and local art. It’s a spot where both locals and travellers gather to enjoy slow sips, flavorful bites, and the warm hum of conversation. The Menu: Where Heritage Meets Innovation From classic street food to elevated Burmese dishes, the menu showcases Myanmar’s culinary diversity: Mohinga – the national rice noodle and fish soup, served with finesse. Laphet Thoke – a tangy fermented tea leaf salad with a signature crunch. Burmese Biryani – a fragrant, spice-rich rice dish with a local twist. Samosas, paratha, and Shan noodles – all made with top-tier ingredients and thoughtful presentation. Don't miss their signature milk tea—a creamy, nostalgic blend that pays homage to the countless roadside tea stalls across the country. A Cultural Experience More than just a meal, visiting Rangoon Tea House is about connecting with Myanmar’s past and present. It reflects the soul of Yangon—diverse, flavorful, and proudly rooted in tradition. Perfect for brunch, afternoon tea, or dinner with a dose of culture. #RangoonTeaHouse #YangonEats #BurmeseCuisine #ModernTeaShop #TasteMyanmar #HeritageDining #FoodieMyanmar #CulturalCafeExperience
