Maenam

The standard-bearer for exceptional Thai cuisine in Vancouver, Maenam has been a local favorite since opening in 2009. This kitchen delivers vibrant, heady cooking with bold flavors and an eye toward authenticity. Traditional dishes are given a local accent with top-tier local ingredients, from in-season produce to pristine fish caught in local waters. Dishes may be rustic in their presentation, but they reveal abundant refinement when it comes to their laser-focused flavors. Familiar items like hot and sour soup or panang curry achieve breathtaking heights thanks to a masterful use of aromatics and artfully balanced tastes. Plates are ideal for sharing in groups, but a family-style tasting menu features the menu's highlights for smaller parties.
