Chaophraya

33 Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3DN

Taking over the prestigious former premises of Oloroso, up above George Street, high-end Thai chain Chaopraya is a masterclass in studied swankiness. The large space is broken up into intimate booths and softlit corners eyed by solemn Buddhas, with…

Leven's

30-32 Leven Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9LJ

A marriage of Scottish and Thai cuisine might seem a doomed alliance, and some of the menu options sound more like a drunken scramble around the kitchen than haute cuisine (lasagne chicken curry, anybody?), but don’t be fooled – this contemporary outfit…

Thai Pad

20 Leopold Place, London Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5LB

Quicker than you can say 'tablet computer', there's a grimly punning new restaurant, Thai Pad, on the scene. It is, in fact, a new incarnation of the fairly short-lived Love You Long Thai restaurant in the basement of the Richmond House Hotel on London…

Ruan Siam

48 Howe Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6TH

In a new home or a restaurant, basements have a reputation for being filled with flotsam and jetsam, with just the occasional gem showing up how a well an underground space can be used – Ruan Siam is one such space. While intimate, fairy-lit nooks will…

Thai Lemongrass

40–41 Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh, EH10 4HJ

Perched atop the rise of Bruntsfield Place, Thai Lemongrass is a solid bet for those who like Far Eastern fare dispensed with a liberal spoon. The large glass-fronted space is rather draughty and could feel lacking in privacy if you’re after a venue for…

Thai Teak

Muirhead of Pitcullo Farm, Dairsie, by Cupar, Fife, KY15 4SF

When Sheila Dawson told her husband that she wanted to expand their import Thai furniture business with a neighbouring café she didn’t expect he would import the building on one of his sourcing trips as well. Fresh sandwiches, wraps and salad provide…

Port of Siam

3 Pier Place, Edinburgh, EH6 4LP

Given Thailand’s multitude of islands and strong fishing heritage, it is no surprise that Thai cookery enjoys such an affinity with seafood. Few restaurants, however, have married this to Scotland’s bountiful larder as well as Port of Siam. Sourcing all…

BKK Thai

946 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8YJ

Takeaway review It seems fitting that the 'BKK' in BKK Thai stands for Bangkok – a very Thai city with a Western influence – as the food from this small Finnieston takeaway is similar to that served in the better tourist joints in the hot, bustling…
