Thai Orchid
In an enviable location, Thai Orchid demonstrates creativity and attention to detail all served by a caring team.

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
Opposite the Festival Hub and only minutes from the Castle and Royal Mile, Thai Orchid enjoys an enviable location. The modern décor is understated, distinctive, attractive. Lighting fixtures, so often a lost design opportunity, are sophisticated and atmospheric. Simple Thai ornamentation sets a relaxing mood for the pleasures of the meal to come. Kanom buang yuan, a crispy thin crêpe holds finely minced prawns, stir-fried with dried coconut, tofu and bean sprouts, together forming a moist, filling accented by a sweet vinegar sauce. Hoy shell ping, generous portion of scallops, char grilled but juicy inside, hold the imprint of their garlic, ginger and sesame marinade without overpowering their delicate flavour. Pad cha pla, chunks of firm, sweet monkfish shine through the spicy sauce of fresh red chilli, garlic, ginger and clusters of green peppercorns. Earthy pedt duck rests alongside thick slices of citrusy yellow mango, red peppers and stems of Thai basil. Kanom Thai, a selection of homemade sweets, is an unexpected and rare delight, reflecting Thai Orchid’s overall care and attention to detail.
