Nakon Thai Restaurant

Efficient reception by smiling staff gets guests off to a good start at this smart restaurant in Douglas village. The aim is to provide traditional Thai cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and several menus offer wide range of dishes, including all the popular Thai dishes - house specialities include hot & sour prawn soup - but also some lesser-known dishes.

Everything is freshly cooked, without any artificial flavourings or MSG and, although the flavours typical of Thai cuisine - coriander, lime, chilli, saltiness - seem to have been tamed somewhat, authentic dishes always meet with approval.

A simple dessert selection includes exotic Thai fruit salad for a refreshing finish.

An informative fairly priced wine list deserves investigation (a gewurtztraminer partners Thai food exceptionally well, for example); imported Thai beers are also available.

Children welcome. Seats 42. Air conditioning. D daily: Mon-Sat 5.30-11, Sun 5-10. Set menus from about €19.50; á la carte also available. House wine from €17.95. SC discretionary. Closed 24-28 Dec, Good Fri. Amex, Diners, MasterCard, Visa, Laser.
