Padthaiwok Plaza De Espana

What’s not to like at this cheap and cheerful almost, but not quite, authentic Thai food cafe. There’s warm sunshine, barely comfy outside plastic seating, with music and dancing in the nearby Playça de España and it’s all very beguiling. Service was great and the food prices are really quite reasonable. I had a langoustine (king prawn) Tom Ka soup with a boiled rice on the side; my wife had a stir fry fried rice with chicken, pineapple and cashew nuts. We were asked our preferred heat levels so I asked for spicy but not very spicy. The spicy wasn’t spicy, not even close, in fact it was hard to detect any heat. My wife always opts for mild so in this case there was no spice kick in either dish at all. So it’s Thai lite not much taste of fresh chilli heat, not much taste of smashed lemon grass, no discernible nam pla fish sauce. I’m pretty sure they have all the ingredients in house, so perhaps it’s designed for Spanish palates I prefer big and stronger flavours. While it’s unlikely that we will return to Palma and we were glad we tried it we wouldn’t re visit this place if we did.

If you are tired on paying too much for sit down restaurant service and just want a filling meal (and you like Thai) you won't go wrong with this place. For under $10 Euro you will get plenty of food. My only tip is to ask for a little extra sauce in your dish as they seem come a little dryer than I think most people would expect.

I was really surprised to find this little gem on Plaza d'España. The burger was really delicious and tasty. The only thing that deducts a point is that the plate the food was served on was rather sticky. I'm not sure what it was and I'm not sure I want to know. Food was good though and I can recommend this place for an informal dish of food.

La relación precio-valor es muy bueno y el servicio también es excelente

Comida muy rica y muy buen servicio. Los precios son accesibles.
