Ruan Siam
48 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
In a basement on the corner of the New Town's Howe Street is the flagship of Edinburgh's Ruan Thai trio of restaurants. A cosy little place with vaulted ceilings, carefully chosen spot-lit artworks and charming staff, Ruan Siam succeeds in achieving…
Dusit
49a Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DY
Hearty Scottish produce and exotic Thai flavours may not make for the most obvious culinary marriage, but it's one that Dusit's skilled chefs consistently pull off with aplomb. All the usual favourites, such as intensely hot and sour tom yum soup…
Dragon-i
311–313 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Since opening opposite the Theatre Royal in 2003, Dragon-i has sat at the top table of Glasgow's Chinese restaurants, and owners Raymond and Susie Man are proud that their venture attempts something markedly different. With the décor, they've opted for…
Wok and Wine
57a Frederick Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1LH
Subtlety is key to Wok and Wine: its large honey-toned basement dining area is devoid of chintz and is lent an artful intimacy by bamboo blinds and screens. This tasteful neutrality rightly ensures that the focus is on the well-executed food. The…
Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3BW
Thai Lemongrass exudes an almost spa-like calm. Ceiling fans rotate hypnotically, ushering a cool breeze along cushioned booths; meditative lights shine through intricate wood carvings. Staff are genteel, making you feel pampered as they explain the…
Tang's
44 Candlemaker Row,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QE
As a head chef in London, Qun Tang could boast the likes of Jonathan Ross among his regulars. Now relocated north, and settled into an airy, pleasant space in the heart of Edinburgh, Tang and his Japanese wife Yoshiko Nakano are hoping to win over the…
Thai Lemongrass
40–41 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HJ
The entrance to this deceptively large restaurant is via a small reception and bar area where silk-suited waiting staff exude an air of modesty and proficiency. The rust-coloured walls, hessian wallpaper and wood floors evoke a peaceful atmosphere, and…
Thai Orchid
5A Johnston Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2PW
Just round the corner from the Hub at the top of the Royal Mile, Thai Orchid has a contemporary feel, with polished chrome fittings, leather seats, hessian wallpaper and long mirrors opening up the small room. Initially, the menu appears to offer few…
Mai Thai
The Tun, 111 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AE
The entrance to this stylish restaurant – which is housed in the Tun, close to the Scottish Parliament – is via a modernist bar with leather couches and stripped back décor then up a small flight of stairs. The dining area is small but lively with an…
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Four years after opening in the West End, Budda still offers something of an ethnic cocoon. Gold statues line the bar, Balinese lanterns hang from rich orange walls and twisted wooden chairs create a sense of far-eastern intimacy overlooking the cobbles…
Thai Siam
1191 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TQ
Banquette seating, carefully folded napkins and elevator music suggest that this neighbourhood restaurant is not about to give in to pressures to follow the latest fashions. Instead, there is a quiet confidence derived from the proficiency of its…
Phuket Pavilion
8 Union Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3LU
Run by owner Kanchana Parkinson and backed by her husband William, this Thai eatery has gained itself a good reputation in the four years since it opened. Offering all the staples you would expect from any such regional restaurant and more besides, it's…
Shamoli
105 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SG
Tucked away at the top of a curved flight of old stone steps, this newcomer to the High Street confidently declares its presence with a flurry of signs and neon lights in the window. As with its sister restaurant Mya, on Commercial Quay in Leith, the…
Time 4 Thai
45 North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3BG
In keeping with its image-conscious neighbours on George Street, Time 4 Thai has ditched the familiar adornments of elephants and corpulent Buddhas in favour of slick modern styling in dark wood, glass and muted shades of stone. While this minimalist…
Chiang Mai
15 Dalry Road, Haymarket,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BQ
With the hectic activity of Haymarket just outside the window, Chiang Mai has long been a welcome haven of South East Asian calm for locals, commuters and rugby fans alike. Watched over by portraits of the Thai royal family, the lofty restaurant is…
Thai Fountain
2 Woodside Crescent,
Glasgow,
G3 7UL
One of the earliest restaurants to present Thai cuisine in Glasgow, Thai Fountain remains one of the most elegant places in the city to sample Far Eastern cuisine. In addition to the à la carte options, a business lunch allows for good sampling of the…
Siam Thani
14 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
Loyal locals and regulars at the nearby Playhouse theatre know that, for a genuine taste of Thailand, there's no need to travel further than this unpretentious restaurant at the top of Broughton Street. Intricate wooden carvings and gold-laced wall…
Simply Thai
305 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
Leith is heavily populated with Chinese and, increasingly, Thai takeaways, but Simply Thai and its sister restaurant the Silver Bowl are among the best. There's no scrimping on the portions, which are generously meaty with good, fresh vegetables. The…
Muang Thai
97 Hanover Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
With such a central location just off George Street, it would be tempting for Muang Thai to get away with the bare minimum and cater solely for Edinburgh's year-round visitors. The owners have avoided that, though, and some thought has gone into…
Yumla
80 Miller Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DT
Yumla's snazzy entrance is not far from Argyle Street. But it is a doorway into an impressively grandiose space with a sense of calm one wouldn't think possible so close to the shopping thoroughfare. Décor is a clever blend of modern and imperial…
Celadon
49–51 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QF
Celadon has a quiet, understated charm, making the most of the 18th century building with soft green shades and exposed stone walls that divide it into two chic and welcoming dining areas. A tinkling jazz soundtrack adds a mellow vibe, and a varied menu…
Ruan Mai
176 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4BA
It is easy to dismiss a restaurant that huddles among a gaggle of pubs and fast food outlets on busy Rose Street, but don't let first impressions put you off. You probably still won't be convinced when you enter, as you're confronted by a thatched roof…
Lai Thai
23 Brougham Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JU
This recently refurbished restaurant has a tranquil feel, with saffron walls, candle-lit tables and Buddhist bric-a-brac creating a warm, contemplative atmosphere. Some tables have been removed, giving diners more elbow room and more space to kick back…
Songkran
24a Stafford Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7BD
After the success of Songkran, which opened in Edinburgh's West End in 2000, Songkran II appeared in Stockbridge the following year, riding perhaps a little on a (now-waning) mania for Thai food. The menus are identical, even down to the wine lists. In…
Thaisanuk
21 Argyle Place (or 112a Gorgie Road),
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JJ
This Marchmont restaurant, and its sister venture on Gorgie Road, mix up well known Thai dishes with aromatic Southeast Asian delicacies. Although their creamy, fragrant tom ka soup is difficult to overlook as a starter, Tibetan chicken wings, Japanese…
