🇨🇦 ​​Baan Lao: Thai Fine Dining That’ll Blow Your Mind​​ 🌶️✨

Just tried this ​​luxe Thai tasting menu​​—and wow, it’s not your average pad thai joint! 🍽️ ​​The Experience​​: • ​​18-course set menu​​ ($185/person) with ​​wildly creative twists​​—think ​​lemongrass foam​​, ​​smoked duck betel leaves​​, and ​​coconut-marinated scallops​​. • Chef Nutcha (a ​​King Charles III Medal winner​​ 👑) blends ​​Thai roots with molecular gastronomy​​—some dishes dazzle, others polarize (that durian dessert…😅). • ​​Art alert​​: Paintings by ​​Suda the elephant​​ (yes, the famous Instagram elephant!) adorn the walls. 🛎️ ​​Service​​: Only ​​3 servers for 6 tables​​ = unhurried, Michelin-star vibes. They explained each course like storytellers! 💸 ​​Splurge-Worthy For​​: • ​​Birthdays​​ | ​​Anniversaries​​ | ​​“I survived 2023” celebrations​​. #ThaiGastronomy #RichmondEats #ChefNutcha #FineDiningVibes
