Thai Cottage

10 out of 10 stars

This is the place I take all my London visitors. It's a family run business and really feels that way, you'll often see the daughter wander in with her friends. I used to see her doing her homework at one of the tables but she's a little old for that now! Anyway, the matriarch is always keen to chat and recommend dishes. She is also very willing to experiment and have the cooks prepare things that are not on the menu. For instance they make me mean vegetarian Laap! Who'd have known! All the dishes are cooked to order and often use spices imported directly from Thailand.

I highly recommend for great value and wonderfully warm, if sometimes hilarious, service. It's really very authentic from the service and beers to the state of the loos...

Oh and for those in the know, they have Beer Laos!
