Restaurant of the Month - June 2012

Ban Song Thai, Kirchgasse 6, 8001 Zurich

This well-established Thai restaurant in Zurich Niederdorf is a popular lunchtime eating spot. The friendly staff will gladly take your order for a Thai speciality and a  Singha beer or green tea. The dish of the day is priced at a modest CHF15 upwards, but if you are feeling hungry, the all-you-can-eat buffet is good value at CHF 28.50. Then you can help yourself to soup, a spring roll and a selection of four or five hot dishes, at least two of them vegetarian, all served with rice.

When a group of 12 ZIWA ladies enjoyed a convivial lunch there last month, we were offered chicken soup with coconut milk, freshly cooked spring rolls, spicy beef, chicken with noodles, tofu, vegetables and white rice. And no need to hold back on the seconds!

The restaurant can host up to 40 diners but if you have a large group, then it's best to book early or late. Many singles and couples pop in for a quick lunch on a regular basis. In the evening it's also a great place to drop in after seeing a film nearby, or make a group booking and enjoy the delicious selection of authentic Thai dishes, with the flavours of coconut milk, Thai basil, coriander and hot chilli. There is also a substantial wine list. You could also host an apero party there, but be sure to book ahead as the place is very popular.



So for an authentic taste of Thailand in a central location, look no further than the Ban Song Thai.
