Picture of Kwan Thai, SE1 2HD

Historical version 5 of Kwan Thai, SE1 2HD (view current version)

Good Thai food, and a fantastic view over the Thames (towards the Gherkin). They have outside tables right by the river which are lovely in the summer - worth asking for these when you book. Inside is high ceilings, modern, and not too crowded, with good big windows so you still get the view.

They do lots of vegetarian options, but be warned: they're on a separate menu which you have to ask for. The vegetarian set menu is reasonable value at £18 a head for 3 courses and tea/coffee - the third course is fruit, which exactly hits the spot after the largely-fried starters and enormous plates of rice, red curry, beancurd, etc. Decent wine list, as well.

The staff are friendly and the right level of attentive.
