The Tall Lemongrass

There's a focus on mixing modern and traditional here, in everything from decor to menu. Solid dark wood tables sit beneath woven twig lamps, red carved-wood screens create a sense of paradise, while moody lighting softens polished warehouse-feel concrete floors. Classic Thai flavours and dishes with modern twists are noted on the menu: the signature cigars - crispy egg pastry filled with hints of pork and chicken - or yum aubergine salad, a delicate tower of silky eggplant, sour-sweet minced chicken and pan-fried prawns. For deeper flavours try melting three-layer pork in dark sticky anise, cinnamon and ginger sauce, or swing by for a curry or noodle lunch.
