A name like Pu's Brasserie might lead you to expect a French-style place, but this Thai restaurant on Gate Street perfectly fits the encyclopaedic definition of a brasserie, a place that is relaxed with an upscale setting. The minimal display of artefacts is pleasing to the eye and there is an unmistakable sense of refinement that marks the interior.

Thai cuisine needs no introduction to most of us and the kitchen uses fresh, authentic ingredients that network together to create vivid flavours that jostle on the palate. So after you've finished plates of crispy fried wonton with mixed chicken or steamed minced pork dumplings and crab meat, move on to try stir fried chicken with cashew nuts and dried chillies, special Thai roasted duck curry with coconut milk, or Siamese king prawns.

The keenly priced set menu for four begins with a chef's selection of mixed starters followed by hot and sour lemon grass soup, tamarind duck and massaman curry among others.
