Catching up with the last 2 weeks – I realised I haven’t posted about this lovely restaurant in Wakefield. We went to Thai on the Square on the recommendation of Tom’s boss about 2 weeks ago. It doesn’t look much from the outside, but is well worth venturing upstairs to find out.
The restaurant is very light and has lovely modern decor inside. Each table had a candle and a flower which was a nice touch and made it feel quite cosy. The menu included the usual suspects of starters and thai curries, however the specials board was a real treat. The list included fresh fish and seafood dishes such as prawn tom yum soup and red snapper with thai ginger. I tried both of these and was very impressed both with the presentation and the standard of the food. Tom enjoyed some chicken sesame toast, followed by tamarind duck – which was unusual and lovely. On top of that, the service was friendly and staff were happy to make recommendations.
We were very surprised to find the combination of ambience, quality and service hidden behind a fairly ordinary looking doorway. They seemed to be able to cater equally well for couples as for groups, and the place was fairly busy even on a Wednesday. Plus we felt it was good value for money. A real find in the centre of Wakefield.
