Every dish in the restaurant is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. The first concept is “locavore,” which means using locally sourced ingredients. The second is zero waste, and the third is the reduction of livestock farming, with menu items made from insects or spirulina, and vegan options available.

In the evenings, workers would come to discuss politics, and later, people would watch movies and drink coffee, as it is near the Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre.
The menu includes eggs with a choice of bacon, ham, sausage, or Chinese sausage, along with toast, coffee, and tea.
