A catch up with old friends tonight. We loved it here. Hard to fault the surrounds. It’s an impeccably fitted out restaurant with numerous lovely spots to prop.
We had several entrees and mains. It’s rustic Thai/Laos fare but it’s mighty good food. We started with duck crepes from the specials board. They were surprisingly large crepes with really good flavour. There was plenty of duck with nice salad and a lovely sauce. Hard to ask for more. Next were the rice paper rolls. They were large and unusually loose, but delicious. Lovely flavour. The chicken satay sticks were large with a beautiful sauce that was thankfully not too sweet. Next, the yum yim yam with prawn was good. The filleted rockling piece with green curry was even better. This was lovely fish that was just lightly battered with the chili spot on. The No 50 salad - toasted rice and coconut salad - as recommended by Matt Preston was also good.
On the slightly negative side, the wine glasses were too small and made of rather thick glass. They were weird. Service was overall a bit cool and detached for my liking.
Back to the pluses though. The food was very good. The cost was modest, aided by the low amount charged for corkage. At $30 a head for a large meal, this is a terrific restaurant. See less
