Busaba Eathai
We prefer the slightly less hectic Store St premises of this West End favourite, but there are also a couple more locations, including a Wardour St branch. Here the sumptuous Thai menu greets you via an electronic screen outside and the uberstyled interior is softened by communal wooden tables. This isn’t the place to come for a long and intimate dinner, but it’s a superb option for an excellent and (usually) speedy meal of stir-fries and noodles.

Bangkok House
The food's delicious, the service impeccable, the prices affordable, and unsurprisingly, this little slice of Thailand is always packed. Elaborately carved tables, massive chairs and ornate wall hangings set the scene for the wonderfully aromatic Thai curries, sizzling meat dishes and delicately prepared dumplings.

Nahm
If you want top-notch Thai food, visiting the former chef of the king of Thailand is probably a good start. David Thomson has brought the tricks he learnt at the royal palace to this posh dining room at the Halkin hotel.

Blue Elephant
The sumptuous surroundings, attentive staff and excellent food of this Fulham institution with branches around the globe make dining at the Blue Elephant a memorable (if expensive) experience. The atmosphere is romantic, with candlelit tables, fountains and lush ‘jungle’ foliage, though the ‘gift shop’ at the front is a bit naff.

Esarn Kheaw
Welcoming you back into the 1970s is the very green interior of this superb restaurant serving food from the Esarn (or Issan), the northeast of Thailand where people munch on chillies like chewing gum. The house-made Esarn Kheaw sausage and som tom (green papaya salad) are sublime. If you can handle it, the so-called Tiger’s Cry (grilled strips of ox liver served with a fiery chilli sauce) is as authentic a northeastern dish as you’ll find west of Nakhorn Ratchasima (or Korat, the capital of the Esarn).

Busaba Eathai Fitzrovia
We prefer the slightly less hectic Store St premises of this West End favourite, but there are also a couple more locations, including a Wardour St branch. Here the sumptuous Thai menu greets you via an electronic screen outside and the über-styled interior is softened by communal wooden tables. This isn't the place to come for a long and intimate dinner, but it's a superb option for an excellent and (usually) speedy meal of stir-fries and noodles.

Market Thai
Drippy white candles, carved arches and wrought-iron chairs mark out the interior of this delightful restaurant. It occupies the 1st floor of the Market Bar but is independent of it and feels way, way, way beyond the market crowds. Hospitable staff and fresh, delicately spiced Thai cuisine make this place a little money very well spent. Enter from Lancaster Rd.

King & Thai
Accessed via an unlikely looking passageway near the bridge, this snug little Thai emporium piles plates high with tongue-tinglingly spicy food untamed for the English market. It's a surprisingly authentic place, with staff busily scurrying between levels and discharging rapid-fire smiles at every turn.

Chaophraya
This is one old-fashioned sit-down Thai restaurant that we can wholeheartedly recommend. Every dish we’ve eaten here has been full of complex flavours and subtle undertones. A top tip for a laid-back romantic dinner.

Isarn
The flavours of freshly ground lemongrass, chilli, galangal and lime leaves sing out in the curry sauces and marinades at this small, stylish Thai restaurant. It’s the perfect place for an informal dinner date.

Gloriously gilded Thai figurines and sparkly mirrors dot the interior, while fresh flavours fill a menu that includes extensive veggie options. Try the scallops with asparagus and spring onions.

Siam House
Delicious, authentic Thai food in about as authentic an atmosphere as you could muster up 6000km from Bangkok.

Krungtap
This friendly cafe-style undertaking with the unlikely name of ‘Bangkok’ (in Thai) serves good-value and relatively authentic Thai food.

Thai Garden
This is a rare bird indeed – a mostly vegetarian (with some seafood dishes) Thai restaurant in Bethnal Green – and well worth the trip.
