Located just round the corner from the hub at the top of the Royal mile and nestling at the foot of the Edinburgh castle, this chic Thai restaurant offers guests a spacious, uncluttered interior and a friendly menu. The understated décor with polished chrome fittings, charcoal colored leather seats, hessian wallpaper and long mirrors lend a sophisticated retro tone, and the staff provide gracious, alert and unobtrusive service.

Starters include goong teet hae, prawns spiced up by a tamarind and chilli dip, and todd mun keo pode, delicately spiced sweetcorn cakes, deep fried and served with peanut and coriander sauce.

Among the mains, lush moo aroy - an aromatic blend of flavours featuring thin slivers of juicy steamed pork in coconut milk and curry seasoning, underscored by a hint of roasted peanuts - and pla priew wan - a fleshy fresh monkfish poached in coconut and served in a creamy sweet and sour sauce, topped by a generous spray of fried onions - present delectable options.
