Sri Thong, slightly hidden down a narrow Medieval lane close to Liverpool Street station, is a simply-designed restaurant much favoured by locals and City workers. (Upmarket) cafe-style in appearance, it offers a pleasing range of traditional Thai dishes using fresh, vibrant, spicy ingredients. Portion sizes are moderate—allowing the greedier amongst us to try out a few starters and dishes—and there is a good choice of wine at under £20. A bit more expensive than the several Vietnamese restaurants further north in Shoreditch/Kingsland Road, but worth it for a quieter, but still friendly, buzz, good service and excellent food for the price in this area.
