"Spirit of April Thai, inspired by our Thai roots."

Assorted Asian dishes on a table including a bowl of curry with shrimp and vegetables, fried dumplings, grilled fish with herbs, spring rolls, and various dipping sauces, with glasses of red wine.

CRAFTED IN THE KITCHEN

Our menu is inspired by Thai roots and the recipes we grew up with—simple, honest flavours passed down through generations. We love Thai food for the way it can feel both comforting and nourishing.

A cocktail glass is being poured with a dark beverage. The glass holds a maraschino cherry and a piece of cheese on small skewers, garnishing the drink. There is a bowl of salad or food in the background, on a dark countertop.

FOOD & DRINK

Good food deserves a great drink beside it. We pair our dishes with crisp wines, creative cocktails, and refreshing mocktails—chosen to lift the flavours of fresh herbs and vibrant Thai spices.
