The culture is rich in Calgary, as they offer a variety of restaurants to satisfy anything that you may be craving. Among all the eateries that are offered, Calgary has three amazing Thai restaurants that were voted 2014 Best Thai Restaurants. Here is what makes each one of them stand out among the rest.
White Elephant
White Elephant gives a straightforward approach to preparing their cuisines. Although, the ingredients are clear, they blend together to make a very complex array of flavours. They have been voted the number one Thai restaurant, two years in a row, so it's no fluke that they won the top spot. They provide food that delivers amazing taste. Some of their dishes include ingredients such as, kaffir lime, lemongrass, fish sauce, garlic, chillies, coconut and galangal.
Khao San Thai Kitchen
The Khao San Thai Kitchen is relatively new to Calgary, and that makes it even more outstanding that they landed the number two spot for Best Thai Restaurant. Those who frequently stop in at this amazing Thai restaurant, recommend the sticky rice mango dessert. Kaho San Thai Kitchen has quickly become a main attraction on 17th Avenue.
Hearts Choices Thai Vegan Cafe
