This five-deck “luxury yacht” has a few restaurants onboard. Decorated to reflect the style of the industrial revolution, it may come across as being rather tacky … which can be fun if you want something different! Dishes include smoked salmon salad, crusted butter fish, chicken breast cooked in lemon and Lamb dishes. For dessert, choices include tiramisu and other cakes and pies, with ice cream of course! Vegetarian option is also available.
Bigger and better than ever before, Port Autonomy brings Yangonites the best of beer pong, boozy brunches, live DJ sets, iconic cocktails from Jen Queen and her team, and killer food.
Yangon has a rich and multi cultural history and the menu at Union Bar & Grill is designed to reflect its position as the “Union” of East meets West. Dishes include everything from the Levantine Za’taar Manaoushe with Hummus to classic British Fish and Chips (a dish that arguably has its roots in Italian & Jewish cuisine) via Kimchee & Chorizo Fried Rice With Soft Shell Crab and our Signature Union Burger made with Black Angus beef and topped with aged cheddar, bacon and homede sauces. We also have an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes (almost 25% of their menu is suitable for vegetarians and Vegans) such as our Pumpkin & Chickpea Power Plate and Herb Roasted Cauliflower, Cauliflower Rice & Romesco.
Their kitchen is completed with the help of a Kamodoe Joe smoker where they prepare succulent Burgers, Smoked Ribs, Wings & Steaks as well as a traditional wood fired Pizza oven, enabling them to offer their famous Parami Pizzas downtown for the first time. They also offer a selection of Thai dishes, created by Matthew Albert, the former Head chef of Nahm London, the first Thai restaurant to be awarded a Michelin Star, using David Thompsons award winning curry pastes and specially imported ingredients for a truly authentic flavour.
Their talented bar team, helmed by American expat Jen Queen, has also created a intriguing cocktail list, highlighting the very best local ingredients in infusions, syrups & bitters as well as the what is one of Yangons’ finest collections of imported spirits.
Happy Hour, which runs daily from 5-7pm is recognised as one of Yangon’s finest, offers special discounts on Heineken, and Tiger Beer as well as Select Cocktails from our extensive cocktail list & Infused Gin & Tonics.

Inside is decorated with a comfortable pillow filled swing, lamp posts, colorful balloons, benches for talks, and cute chairs and tables. You can feel the grass below your feet, as if you were in a garden. Unlike a lot of cafes, Freedom Cafe allows you to bring your pets, and also have a gathering with other pet owners. Sometimes, the cafe brings in branded dog food and accessories with discounts and promotions.
The menu is still huge and takes some studying. The thali sets were just enough food, with the mutton vindaloo having the right amount of spicy kick. The Shrimp Tikka was succulent but could have been more succulent, if that makes any sense.
Their menu is structured like a newspaper. It even has a name: The Palace Times. But that’s okay for a menu, so on to the ordering. This menu offers a variety of Indian food from all over the subcontinent.
Hot Selling Items are Fried Chickens, Special Chicken rice & Salad Rice, Fried Chicken Burger, Cheezy Burger and Classic Burger, Toast Set and Ice cream.
