A
Phayathai
Although the jury is out on who serves the city’s best Thai food, this elegant little restaurant on Laurier is a strong contender. It’s hard to go wrong with anything on the menu, with delicious and flavorful seafood soup, tender roasted duck and whole red snapper basted in red chili.

Busaba Thai Cafe
The iced Thai coffee here can turn around a hot day. The rich details of the interior have the lush elegance of a Bangkok gift shop where you'd actually buy something. The food is authentic and best enjoyed on the patio under the stars.

The King and I
Not just a movie with Yul Brynner, but Bangkok-good Thai food, too. This downtown classic with an exotic atmosphere is popular with groups. Try the curries or the pad thai – both are fantastic.

Thaifoon
Classing Dundas St up a bit is Thaifoon. A calm, composed atmosphere and babbling water features provide relief from the mean streets, while chili-laden curries, stir-fries, soups and salads provide a kick in the pants.

Phayathai
Just off the beaten path, this casual little Thai restaurant serves good, fresh-tasting curries, satisfying duck and seafood plates and plenty of other delicacies from the East. The lunchtime and after-work crowds can be thick, so try to avoid arriving at prime time.

Vanipha Lanna
Highly recommended, Vanipha Lanna emerges from the night like some kind of Asian carwash crossed with a birthday cake. Thai-Laotian food ranges from fiery seafood creations to familiar curries, plus unusual dishes like khao moak ga (spiced chicken in banana leaves). Fake orchids and portraits of Thai royals adorn the room.

Real Thailand
Truly authentic Real Thailand must have T.O.'s tiniest patio, but locals still flood through the doors here, looking to sate their chili and coconut-milk addictions. The menu features over 100 items including standards like tod mun pla (fish cakes; $9), tom yum goong (spicy soup; $9) and larb (salads; $8). Lunch specials are monumental.

Maenam
A swish, contemporary reinvention of the Thai-restaurant model, this is probably unlike any Thai eatery you've been to. Sophisticated, subtle and complex traditional and international influences flavor the menu in a room that has a laid-back modern lounge feel. Inviting exploration, you can start with the familiar (although even the pad Thai here is eye-poppingly different) but save plenty of room for something new: the geng panaeng neua beef curry is a sweet, salty and nutty treat suffused with aromatic basil. The mains are great value here, but why not share a few smaller plates (around the $8 to $10 range) instead?
