Well, the food was not specially good here. We ordered 3 dishes, one asparagus, one fried beef with basil leaves, and one fried fish, only the plain asparagus was good. The fis was too salty and dried. The beef was so-so. I like the environment more than the food here.

Not only does this restaurant offer great food at good prices, but the money you pay goes towards supporting the work of the Population and Community Development Association.
The founder of Condoms and Cabbages Senator Mechai Viravaidya apparently opened this first restaurant to support the spread of knowledge and understanding of contraception through Thailand. He theorised that cabbages are a common food in Thailand, in fact they are a staple part of the diet, grown in all villages and everybody uses them. If only condoms could be as common and cheap as cabbages, then some of the population and health problems facing Thailand could be overcome!
Now, years later, condoms are indeed as easy to find and cheap as cabbages, and the impact of this restaurant on the Thai population and HIV statistics is proof of the effectiveness of this one idea. Now there are Cabbages and Condoms restaurants scattered around Thailand, and even a few Resorts!
Some things are common to all of them. Great food, great prices, a great sense of humour and condoms instead of after dinner mints..
One of the Thais in our party just ordered random dishes to be sent and everything was just exquisite. The fish dishes in particular were spectacular, and they happily catered for the vegetarians in our group.
The atmostphere of this open air restaurant is lovely, with fairy lights hung all around in the trees. Have a drink at the vasectomy bar, after dinner do a bit of shopping in the attached shop, and above all, tip generously as all money goes to a truly worthy cause. Believe me you will want to tip well anyway because the food is just wonderful. Leave a Comment

This restaurant is run by Thailand's Population and Community Development Association, believes "birth control should be as cheap as vegetables"—hence the restaurant's name! There is plenty of room, inside and outside in the garden, which is nice if the weather permits. An extensive variety of cocktails and other drinks is available at the "Vasectomy Bar," and the service is friendly and efficient. This is a great choice for good quality Thai food, albeit in slightly surreal surroundings (especially the walls covered with condoms from across the globe!). (Information by Wcities)

The food at this resturant was good. Most of the dishes are served with a bowl of rice (as they mostly do with in all thai dishes) The food was good and all the walls are decorated with condoms from around the globe. Yes its right with Condoms. And not these normal condoms that we see today but of all various shapes and sizes Actually i was later told that the founder of this resturant belived that birth control should be as cheap vegetables and thats how the resturant got its name. I think that all the profit of this resturant goes towards aids control etc.
And this is the best part
"When you finish the meals and time comes to pay your bill one is given condoms as souviners."
