South Kensington, Thai - Restaurant Guide

“Much closer to ‘fine dining’ than most local Thai restaurants” – this well-established quartet from Khun Patara Sila-On is part of her international, decades-old chain which started in Bangkok in the 1970s; and “every dish is of the highest standard, with superb presentation” (although if the food is “a couple of notches better than standard fare, prices are also a couple of notches higher”). Top Menu Tip – “whole chilli sea bass is a delight”.

“Great Thai vegan food” – inspired by Thailand’s annual Jae vegetarian festival – is found at this “delightful and welcoming” venue in the restaurant strip opposite Earl’s Court tube. “The meat substitutes are really convincing, so it’s a good option for meat-eaters and vegans alike”, with “interesting dishes, full of flavour and at very reasonable prices”.
