A friendly place with a large menu of popular Thai dishes, pizza, pasta and burgers. Nothing fancy here with plastic chairs and tablecloths but the portion sizes are big and the sea breeze is refreshing.

A long running favourite that is found just a few steps back from Beach Road. Food is predominately Thai (try the wingbean salad) and the service is excellent.
