Diep Le Shaker

This fashionable two-storey restaurant is elegantly appointed, with comfortable high-back chairs, good linen and fine glasses and, with sunny yellow walls and a long skylight along one side of the upper floor creating a bright atmosphere, the ambience is always lively.

This is a restaurant with many fans and, and at its best, the cooking is excellent; a team of Thai chefs has developed a new menu of Royal Thai Cuisine: signature dishes include Lab Gai (spicy minced chicken salad), seafood dishes like Gaeng Goong Maprow Oon (red tiger prawn curry) and Pla Thod Kratiem Prik Thai (crispy whole sea bass).

Service is invariably charming and solicitous.
