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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Spirit of Thai
44 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Since 2006 this popular restaurant has been treating the West End's office workers and theatre-goers to attractively presented dishes and the friendliest service around. Simply styled, with cream walls and dark wooden beams, the small space has an airy…
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…
Bangkok Café
53 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JQ
South Clerk Street has been a challenging location for Edinburgh restaurants, the spot currently occupied by Bangkok Café having recently been home to both Red Marrakech and Porto Grill in the City. It's to be hoped that the current incumbent manages to…
Ruan Thai
1 Craig's Close, 29 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BN
If it weren't for the sign propped on the pavement of busy Cockburn Street, you might not even notice the restaurant tucked down Craig's Close. But venture through the door and you'll quickly realise that the only discreet thing about Ruan Thai is its…
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…
Mya
Unit 9, Commercial Quay, 92 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Muted beige walls and sleek wooden chairs offer no hint of the colourful cultural influences at work in Mya's kitchen. The dual Thai and north Indian menu seems to have been borne of the idea that groups of potential diners struggle to agree on what to…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Lanna Thai
32 Bridge Street, Musselburgh,
Edinburgh,
EH21 6AG
This family-run restaurant near the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh has a committed local clientele that keeps its diminutive dining area busy all year round. Despite the somewhat dated décor, there's an upbeat atmosphere and the staff are friendly and…
Songkran II
8 Gloucester Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6EG
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…
