Thai Square is well, you guessed it, a Thai restaurant, located on Putney Bridge with beautiful views of the river. The restaurant is open every day of the week, and is popular with locals and tourists alike because of its glamorous interior and iconic backdrops. The scent of beautiful, traditional Thai food draws guests in, along with the floral decor and botanical walls. The chefs love to cook up the classics, but are constantly adding new dishes that showcase their creative flair. Because of its distinguished architecture, the Putney Bridge Thai Square restaurant has also been the recipient of awards from the Royal Institute of Architecture, the American Institute of Architecture, and the Wandsworth Corporation.
The a la carte menu includes a variety of set options and deals, including the gold set menu. This feast includes up to four courses, beginning with starters such as a mixed platter of vegetable spring rolls, chicken satay, Thai dumplings, butterfly prawns and corn cakes. The soup course includes chicken or mushroom in coconut soup, with galangal, lemongrass, shimeji mushrooms, lime leaves and roasted chillies. For your main dish you can try the tamarind duck, a restaurant signature, drizzled with three flavoured tamarind sauce, or the prawns love scallops with baby corn, sugar snap peas and carrots.
If you prefer to do things the mix and match way, with separate orders for your courses, you won't want to miss the Putney Bridge specialties. The steamed sea bass with ginger includes fillets that are lightly steamed in soy sauce and sesame oil, along with the steamed and pan fried glass noodles with prawns, shiitake mushrooms and plenty of rich flavour. There are many curries for you to choose from, including the panang beef curry that has been reduced with coconut milk, bell pepper and shredded lime leaves, and the restaurant's spiciest curry, the jungle curry with wild galangal, bamboo shoots, long beans and bell pepper.
