Thai House-5th arrondissement

Just off the Place Contrescarpe and rue Mouffetard, Thai House is a superb little restaurant at very reasonable prices. It was a frosty day so my pal Bob Glaser and I opted for a hot and spicy shrimp soup with lemongrass, that warmed our bones.

Over bottles of Singha,an excellent Thai beer, we shared noodles with shrimp, that were an excellent accompaniment to giant prawns sauteed in garlic and pepper.

A scoop of vanilla ice cream capped a lovely meal for two at under 50 euros.

Daily menus are available at 11.50-13.50 and 15.50

No one should have a bad meal in Paris! Whether a 2-star restaurant or a local bistro there should always be an excellent rapport qualité prix– relationship between price and quality. At my favorites you will be treated as a regular and have a satisfying experience. Just tell them  “Terrance sent you.”
