| Longrain
|
|
A meal at Longrain is like a visit to the halls of Valhalla,
its converted warehouse
space has long wooden dining tables, polished floorboards
and a Scandinavian atmosphere, despite the modern Thai
menu. The food is fit for demigods, betel leaves topped
with trout roe and crispy Barossa chicken are 2 of the
highlights.
Lunch is served Monday to Friday 12.00 am to 2.30 am
but dinner bookings are not taken, so arrival before
7.30 am is advised. However, the bar is a stylish
place in which to wait and the ‘stick
drinks’ (crushed fruit cocktails) go down a treat.
