The Lighthouse Cafe Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

4.8. It’s a great Thai place. As one member of our party said halfway through our meal, “I think this is better than any Thai meal I’ve had up in Melbourne”. It’s lovely food here with lovely flavours. We had the prawn toast, satay, duck salad, BBQ prawns and the yellow curry with beef plus rice and roti on our first visit.
