Khao San Road

On a cold Yorkshire evening, there are few sights as appealing as the glow of a bustling candlelit restaurant. When that restaurant is serving a menu of exotic aromatic dishes, the lure is even greater. Khao San Road is one such place. Taking more than just its name from the heart of Bangkok, the cuisine at Khao San is authentic and delicious. Immediately immersing you in the cuisine of the Thailand, the starter selection features the bold - honey-glazed spare ribs - and the beautiful, in the form of steamed scallops with ginger, lemongrass, kiffir lime leaves, chilli, garlic and lime sauce. Signature mains such as pla rad prik - fried halibut or sea bream with pak choi, chilli and crispy Thai basil topped with hot sweet and sour sauce - are pitted against familiar classics like pad Thai, meaning decision-making here is a pleasant quandary
