Olá Thai Tapas Bar And Cafe — Restaurant in Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict

OMG, super tasty and creative Thai style tapas and cocktails! Also a very nice selection of local beers. Nancy, who manages the place is super friendly and nice to chat with.

We stayed in over of the Airbnbs directly upstairs and was delighted to find out this place was so close. We ended up trying most of the food and cocktails and everything was delicious.

Notable tapas were the green curry beef tapas which were perfectly medium rare slices of delicious beef on crispy and chewy fried bread (like Native American fry bread) with Thai sauces and chili garnish.

The tacos and nachos were REALLY good. Both crunchy shell and soft taco options were great. Spicy shrimp and Thai pad krapao chicken options were our favorites. The beef on the nachos is shredded and nicely spiced but not too spicy hot.

Favorite drinks included the Makham Margarita made with spicy tamarind vodka, tequila and lime juice, the 4'o Clock Somewhere made with gin, Earl grey tea and sprite, and Mae's Thai Tea with fresh Thai tea brewed to order, vodka, vanilla liquor, condensed milk and whipped cream.

Definitely worth visiting this place while...

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I got there around 11:15 am but couldn't order food for 30 minutes. That was fine because it was a nice place to sit and relax with a drink.

It's only a small place and with only a few groups of people the place was full.

I ordered the Pad Krapow Moo Soft Shell Tacos and Beef Massaman on Roti. The tacos came first and we're very tasty, a nice range of textures with the lettuce, red cabbage and fried egg.

Next was the beef massaman which was the most interesting, you got 4 pieces of roti with a slice of potato and the beef on each, and after you finished each piece you ate a half slice of orange.

The Thai lady owner was super friendly and spoke good English. It's a bit out of the way from usual tourist places, but only a 5 minute walk from Sam Yot MRT station and worth the visit.

I came here 6 months ago but they were opening late that day so didn't want to hang around for a few hours, so took a nice walk down towards the river past all the fruit & flower...

Olá Thai Tapas Bar and Cafe in Phra Nakhon has a lot of charm. It offers a lovely, quaint atmosphere, making it a great choice for a unique evening out. The food is delicious, and the staff provides excellent service, making you feel well cared for from the moment you arrive.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. This isn't the best place if you’re on a tight budget. Prices are on the higher side, with signature cocktails nearing $14 AUD. Though pricey, they are strong and flavorful.

The space can feel a bit cramped. You should also consider the temperature; the air conditioning can be quite cold, which might lead you to feel uncomfortable and want to leave sooner than planned.

Lastly, be ready for a 10% service charge added to your bill. While the service is great, it’s good to know about this charge upfront, as it's not always clear how much goes to the staff.

Overall, it's a nice spot for tasty food and good service, but keep an eye on your budget and be prepared for a chilly...
