Thirst Wine Bar & Eatery
Thirst Wine Bar & Eatery Review
This busy Thai restaurant in the heart of Canberra draws its inspiration from the street food stalls of Thailand. Waitstaff does an excellent job of suggesting just the right wines for your meals. The crispy fish salad is a specialty, mixing the crisp fried-fish pieces with green mango, coriander, mint, roasted peanuts, and a chilli dressing (have it with the Thirst Reisling). The main course dish of red curry pork, baby corn and cherry tomatoes is also delicious, and can be savored with a Shiraz or Chablis. The "two dishes for the price of one" deal on Monday and Tuesday nights is popular with the locals, so arrive early or expect a wait.
