This little gem is tucked under the esplanade theatre. The food here is amazing quality, innovative and interesting, and the chef is reminiscent of a French Jamie Oliver. The setting is very white, clean and modern with outdoor and indoor dining.
We love: The amazing tapas menu for lunch at $37++ it's incredible value for such excellent quality.

Jim Thompson: A Thai Restaurant
The $3.5 million was well spent as the interior of the heritage building at Dempsey Hill certainly has the Wow Factor.

We love: The cocktail bar also offers fine wines by the glass and tastings to help choose the perfect match with your food.
