AI Summary

Tucked-away CBD Thai bistro where tom yum spaghetti and dry-aged duck rice pot redefine the cuisine.

Intimate and warmly lit bistro tucked into a Little Bourke Street food arcade. stylish without being formal, with a buzz on busy evenings and a calm, unhurried atmosphere at lunch. The décor leans contemporary Thai with polished details that elevate the experience without crossing into fine-dining territory.

Feed Me set banquet menu; happy hour house cocktails 5-6pm daily; bottomless drinks package available for groups; $25 weekday lunch special (porterhouse, chips, and drink); lineage from the former Thai Culinary restaurant with returning loyal patrons; customisable chicken rib preparation (original or tom yum dry-rub, spice level adjustable); garlic and onion-free dietary accommodation available on request.

The kitchen is Thai-led with a foundation in classical Thai flavour profiles. The fusion accents. pasta, tartare, betel leaf preparations. are layered over a genuinely Thai culinary base, with the signature ribs drawing on a family recipe from the restaurant's Thai Culinary heritage.

Competitive for creative Thai fusion in Melbourne's CBD. the Feed Me banquet and $25 lunch special deliver strong value. Weekend dinner à la carte can run higher; portion sizes have been flagged by some as modest relative to the price point.
