"From now on we also have our favourite Thai", wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, expressing exactly what many feel. To most of us Thai sounds more exotic than the popular corner restaurant. Yet this is exactly what the Lotus Lounge has become for many Munich residents. The chefs Ralf Plitt and Noi Suankwan know how to create heavenly delights with fresh coriander, lemon grass, coconut cream, peanut paste and hot Thai spices.

There's the well-tried such as Tom Kha Gai (coconut soup with chicken) but also the adventurous such as Jorakeh Takrai (crocodile fried in chilli) - the Lotus Lounge offers the entire range for Thai beginners and repeat customers. If you want you may also try a taste of the orchids, those aren't only for decoration. Tip: Starting at 10 p.m. there is "MyThaiNight" with exotic cocktails for an unbeatable 5 euros.
