Description




This neighborhood spot balances familiar Thai comforts with a surprisingly elaborate afternoon tea service. Rather than a rushed meal, the tea is a slow-paced, handmade affair featuring sweet and savory bites like chive pancakes, small fish bites, and Thai yogurt. For those seeking a standard dinner, the kitchen delivers reliable classics—from fiery papaya salads and rich curry stews to basil red snapper—paired with a strong selection of vegan options and clever cocktails. The setting is calm and understated, complete with exceptionally warm service and a leafy back garden that makes for a peaceful retreat when the weather cooperates.
