About
A Southeast Asian sharing-plates restaurant in the Botanic Gardens Garage on Vinicombe Street, a converted 1911 tram depot at the West End gates of the Botanic Gardens. The menu draws on Thai and wider Southeast Asian cooking, built around bold, punchy sharing dishes and a serious cocktail list, and the room's high arched ceiling and industrial brick make it one of the more striking spaces to eat in the West End. Open daily from noon, with a sister branch in Edinburgh.
