Koh Thai Southsea- Exterior Building View

What is Koh Thai?

Koh means an "island" in Thai. Set in a historic building which once used to be a bank, Koh Thai is a modern Thai restaurant and a cocktail bar. The tables are set over two floors, with the top floor offering a more pleasant dining experience. The interior ambience is just magnificent with decorations to the highest quality. You feel like you have been transported to the street restaurants of Bangkok itself.

Location

Located in Southsea, it is quite central to the city. However, if you are coming from far then there is plenty of parking on the street/ road next to it. Also, the parking is free after 6pm so you shouldn't have to pay a penny for it!

Food and Drinks

We started off with couple of cocktails which were absolutely fantastic. You can buy two of the same cocktails for a discounted price of around 12 GBP or just one for 7.50 GBP. Naturally, we went for two at a time. First we got Koh Figure and then we got Dragon's Ruin. Koh Figure is made of Fig Liqueur and apple juice. Dragon's Ruin has a lot more going on with passionfruit, raspberries, citrus fruits, apple juice and vodka.

For starters, we got the steamed prawn Dim Sum and Kafir Lime Chicken which was basically fired chicken pieces with a zesty dipping sauce.

The service was spot on. The staff were friendly, gave us time to choose and were happy to explain things. The food and drinks were brought out in a timely manner without any delays.

Overall Comments

Koh Thai definitely satisfied my craving for Thai food post lock down. This was our first proper meal out in a long time due to multiple lockdowns. The ambience was great, service was on point and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend that you visit this establishment for an enjoyable evening.

Sabatini Italian Restaurant - Exeter, UK

Do you have a soft spot for authentic Italian food? The pasta, pizza and lots of cheese? Then you have to pay a visit to this wonderful new kid on the block on the high streets of Exeter city: Sabatini Italian Restaurant. Read more to explore more of this new addition in town. What is Sabatini? Sabatini only opened its doors in May 2021, just a few days before we visited. We had no idea it was a brand new restaurant as we only stopped by Exeter to grab lunch during our vacation in Devon. We had no idea where to go for lunch, as all the restaurants were full since indoor dining was only just allowed in the UK. We randomly just called this place at 1pm and asked if a table was available, and to our luck there was! We felt bad for dining here with our wellington boots as it was a fine dining place :) Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Location Located in the heart of Exeter city, it is quite easy to find. Parking will not be next to the restaurant b

The Harbour Inn - Folkestone, Kent, UK

The Harbour Inn is an ideal place if you want a full course meal or just want to chill out and have a few drinks. Visited this pub on a cold and chilly afternoon just when outdoor dining was allowed again in UK. Interior Bar Area Location Located right on the harbour, it is central and easy to get to. There is a large pay and display carpark where you can park with ease and walk here in approx. five minutes. Food and Drinks There is a wide range of food and drinks available. We wanted something warm and quick so we went for chips and a burger. We also changed our plans at the last minute and decided to do a takeaway instead of outdoor dining. The staff accommodated our request with ease with no issues. The drinks were also good. Service The service for food and drink was absolutely fine. Although, I would think that some outdoor heaters should be arranged as it was absolutely freezing to sit outside that day.

Great ambience, excellent cocktails and a good night out? Then Alchemist Liverpool is a place to be. Located in Liverpool Central, this cocktail bar is a must visit for a good night out. Don't forget to book your table to save any disappointment, as this place gets booked out easily. The bar area - Alchemist, Liverpool Location Located in central Liverpool, it is quite easy to get to get to. Its a short walk from the main high street. One thing about such central location, is that it gets full easily on busy nights. Food and Drinks The specialty of this place is its cocktails, so if you want to try out some of that then you have come at the right place. Food is also great, but I was so indulged in cocktails that I totally forgot about food. You will get to mix different cocktails, which will feel like conducting a science experiment. Well worth it! Service No problems with service as it was excellent overall. Staff were super friendly and catered to us well. They asked for all our
