Appel Thaï, a firm favourite with foodies, makes the most of its lush green oasis in Anderlecht. In addition to a buzzy, casual vibe throughout, the garden and terraces are sheer bliss in fine weather. The varied score is fully-fledged Thai, depicted by a fantastic mix of fresh, powerful flavours with a savvy blend of spices. For example: spring rolls stuffed with aromatic rice, cos lettuce, thin slices of succulent beef and soy sauce or spicy panang chicken curry with sweet-sour shallots and coriander. Affordable prices, lavish helpings and buckets of charm: it is just the spot to (re)sample first-class Thai cuisine.
