Bantatthong Restaurant

Best Known For

Sous vide beef massaman curry with roasted potato, peanuts and a side of steamed rice.

Down along Bay Street in Brighton sits Bantatthong Restaurant, a haven of Thai flavours wrapped in modern flair. The façade is modest, framed by warm lighting that invites passersby into its intimate space. Inside, lacquered wood, sleek lines and soft ambient lighting combine to evoke both elegance and approachability. Aromas of lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal and toasted coconut drift through the air before the first dish arrives. Each bite balances spice, tang, sweetness and umami, conjuring Thailand’s coastal kitchens in a Bayside setting. Evenings here unwind slowly - conversations linger, the clink of glasses echoes and the room glows with quiet contentment as diners delve into prawn dumplings to start, followed by green chicken curry, with eggplant, peas, chilli and steamed rice.
