The Wanderer Thai Kitchen and Bar

Despite having 'Thai' in its title, Wanderer Thai Kitchen and Bar isn't strictly Thai. The venue, helmed by co-owner James Benjawilaikul (who spent 16 years working at his family's restaurant in Bangkok), spruiks Southeast Asian cuisine in all its forms and promotes Thai fusion. Benjawilaikul and his partner's contemporary approach separates the venue from your stock standard suburban Thai options. While the venue lights up at night, it's during the lunch sitting that you'll be able to take advantage of its hearty dishes at an affordable rate. Think pad Thai for just over a tenner; a comforting bowl of congee or grilled lemongrass chicken and rice.
