With a great food scene, Phitsanulok is an excellent place for eating. Diners can choose from an extensive range of Thai restaurants as well as Chinese, Muslims, Western and other eating options.

Much of the traditional gastronomy has developed from the local rice farming industry and the fish found in the rivers and canals, some local plates include various insects in its preparation. Some of the best typical dishes are “gai yang” (barbecued chicken) and “kweitiou pat Thai” (Thai style fried noodles)
