This stalwart restaurant is known for its classic Thai cuisine. Expect traditional interiors and friendly service. Start with the sharing Patara premium platter of five starters such as caramelised chicken dumplings, prawn cakes and chicken satay. Eschew the usual standards for mains like gang singhol gam wua, where wagyu beef cheeks are slow-cooked in a mild, three-flavoured curry; aromatic roasted coconut rice with smoked coconut water; and rice vermicelli with coconut, minced pork and grilled prawns. Finish with mango sticky rice or banana fritters with coconut ice cream. If you can’t decide, the semibuffet lunch makes selecting a breeze.
