I like to visit Thai restaurants everywhere I go. So, I was excited to get to try Thai in Paris and see if I could discern any French influences to the dishes. I did not succeed in that, but I had an enjoyable experience none the less. I will note that for Americans visiting the establishment, you will be surprised by a couple items lacking. First no 'Thai' iced tea. Second, more surprising to me, no peanut sauce. In fact I am uncertain the Hostess/Waitress/Cook (all in one) even knew what we were asking about.
My wife ordered the Phad Thai seafood. It was good, with mussels, octopus that was not chewy, and shrimp. The flavor was slightly sweeter than we were used to.
I ordered Green Curry chicken. It also was somewhat sweet. but tasty.
I had forgotten to ask about making the dishes spicy. A star rating system was not indicated on the menu, I would rate what we got as just barely one star.
We both had fresh mango over sticky rice for dessert, it was heavenly. It came with what I would describe as a creamed coconut on top. Normally I am not a fan of coconut, but this was tasty.
The portion sizes were much smaller than one will find in a US restaurant, but they were sufficient for us that evening. The price is also quite high, but then again ... Paris. read more
