There's little to choose between the café area at the front of Paolina's and the restaurant area tucked away at the rear, as both serve good Thai food at really keen prices, but the restaurant area is certainly a more inviting setting. On the menu you'll find all your Thai favourites from prawn, chicken and beef curries to appetising soups, salad and fabulous noodle dishes. It's the kind of place you can just pop into for lunch and order a single noodle dish such as phad Thai, or else really afford to go to town and try a few dishes you've never had before. Also as Paolina doesn't have a license to sell alcohol you are welcome to bring your own, keeping costs down even further.
