Thai Rack's bright red façade on George Street grabs your attention instantly, step in and the heady aromas from the kitchen may well tickle your taste buds. Classic Thai food based on royal traditions is the main draw here, so expect some sophisticated cooking and a wonderful harmony of flavours and textures.

Crispy Thai prawn crackers and mussels pancake with spicy seasoning, bean sprouts and coriander could be followed by chicken, beef and pork in a red curry sauce with bamboo shoots and sweet basil, alongside steamed jasmine or coconut rice. The chef's special could pack in a punch with a honey roasted duck in five spices sauce and the weeping tiger - grilled sirloin steak marinated in Thai herbs.

A special set menu of aromatic crispy duck served with pancakes and stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts and oyster sauce may appeal to time-strapped lunchtime business clientele.
