| - Great classy atmosphere, savory thai dishes that's made to impress, proper Thai spiciness that's retained in every dish.
Boyfriend's brother recommended this place and we decided to come here as the first Thai restaurant experience in Montreal one night. I gotta say, I was a little skeptical when I walked in the place. Mostly because the ambiance is very nice and the restaurant is labeled as fine dining Asian cuisines. Though I enjoy nice ambiances, my best authentic Thai dining experiences (from the food perspective) always comes exclusively from hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
The menu is in Thai with some descriptions in French/English, a great sign for authentic food. I ordered Pad Kimao (otherwise known as drunken noodle) and boyfriend ordered Pad Prik Khing (a chicken dish cooked with ginger and beans). Being a lover of spice foods, I asked them turn the spiciness for my Pad Kimao to the max. My Pad Kimao was sauteed to perfection, the scent of basil heightened the flavor of the dish; the spiciness from the chilli peppers was well placed and fully expressed; the chicken was thinly sliced, tender and flavorful, especially with a dash of garlic on top. What a beautiful and tasty dish! Boyfriend's Pad Prik Khing was also delicious, with rice on the side, the ginger and beans were sauteed with chicken in a spicy sauce, the flavor was even more pronounced.
Overall, I was very pleased with the experience! It's more pricey than your normal Thai places, but the plating is beautiful, ambiance romantic and the food wonderfully tasty and authentic, well worth the price.
