For authentic Thai food in the English Lake District, Jintana Thai Restaurant is the perfect choice with its delicious fare, exotic surroundings and welcoming atmosphere. Located in Bowness-on-Windermere, this friendly restaurant packs the right ingredients together for a marvellous dining experience, so it's but natural that families, couples and friends prefer to go there when an unhurried and tasty meal is on the programme. The decor with its imported Thai furniture, artwork and artefacts imitate that wonderful confluence of tropical and oriental, which epitomises Thailand.

From the à la carte, there might be starters of thinly sliced grilled beef in a hot and sour chilli dressing while there are plenty of curries, red or green, cooked with chicken, beef, prawns or pork. Stir fries, noodles and rice dishes are popular choices to accompany a meal and you could end with saku, a dessert made with sago, fresh fruits and sweet coconut cream. The global wine list at Jintana offers a wide selection, with a few available by the glass as well.
