As soon as Amy Chanta flung open the doors in 1989 Chat Thai became an instant smash hit with Sydney diners already familiar with Thailand and no appetite for compromising on ingredients, flavours, textures and aromas. Searching all across Sydney for the correct vegetables, herbs and sauces Amy was able to set herself apart through a stubborn dedication to reminding diners of their unforgettable food experiences on the streets of Bangkok.Three decades later we are proud to continue Amy’s vision by adding organic vegetables from Boon Luck Farm to serve up authentic Thai dishes we ourselves want to eat. Unique flavours the Thai diaspora crave from the motherland but struggle to find outside of their own home cooking.

If you're looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and impeccable service set the tone for an exceptional meal. Start with the crudo—so fresh it practically melts in your mouth—and the perfectly seared scallops, which are a testament to the chef's artistry. For the main course, the risotto is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavour, while the pappardelle, is a pasta lover's dream. And don’t leave without trying their tiramisu; it’s a masterpiece and the best one I have tasted. This is Italian cuisine at its finest, and I’d recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!
