It was voted as having the third best restaurant view in the UK, now acclaimed south
west London favorite Thai Square is delighted to announce the launch of a new menu
of innovative dishes to complement its stunning views. Packed with aromatic flavours
and exquisitely presented on specially commissioned handcrafted plates, the collection
has been created by recently appointed executive chef Parichat Sanguthai (or Oula as
she is known), formerly executive chef of the Blue Elephant, in association with the
Thai Square group’s executive chef.
Oula, whose teaching skills have taken her around the world, from Galeries Lafayette
in Paris to the Mövenpick Hotel Zurich, is known for her skills in blending western and
eastern culinary influences to create twists on classic dishes.
Among the standouts that will be making their way onto the menu at Thai Square
Putney Bridge from June are starters of the calibre of Grilled Scallops with Garlic Butter
& Peppercorn and Duck Salad with Longan (a juicy, sweet tropical fruit that contrasts
wonderfully with the richness of the meat).
Main courses are equally as impressive. A green curry is raised to heady heights
thanks to the use of succulent lobster tail, whilst truffles make an unusual but delicious
complement to a dish of noodles and prawns. Other standouts include Lamb Rack with
Basil, Grilled Black Cod with Chilli Jam and a light-as-a-feather Lychee Mousse.
As with everything here, Oula’s new creations combine the finest locally sourced
produce with authentic ingredients that are flown over from Thailand each week
Although the entire menu is being refined, Thai Square Putney Bridge will continue to
showcase signature dishes like the celebrated Yum Nua (beef salad) and Soft-shell
Crab with Mango that have seen diners flock to this corner of London since the
restaurant opened six years ago
Boasting unrivalled views across the River Thames from almost every angle, Thai
Square Putney Bridge is located in one of London’s most unique and iconic landmark
buildings. Designed to resemble a ship, with metal beams and soaring windows, it has
won awards from such diverse bodies as the Royal Institute of Architecture, the
American Institute of Architecture and Wandsworth Corporation.
The elegance of the design continues inside, with its perfect balance of the traditional
and contemporary. The interiors are tastefully adorned with beautiful antique Thai
artefacts, including eight Buddha statues which are respectfully taken care of, as
tradition dictates.
With almost every table commanding exceptional views, Thai Square Putney Bridge
promises a unique dining and drinking experience at any time of the year. However, it
is in the summer that it really comes into its own, as the restaurant’s huge windows
open up to the river below and the 40-cover riverside terrace offers the perfect spot for
al fresco dining.
With the fine dining area located upstairs, the ground floor houses the spacious and
vibrant TSQ bar. The ideal location for a pre-dinner cocktail with friends and colleagues
– the signature Bangkok Dangerous with its combination of homemade infused
lemongrass vodka, ginger vodka and fresh lychees is particularly recommended – it
can also be hired in its entirety for a private events space without parallel.
From 1st June until 15th June, Thai Square Putney Bridge will be holding a soft launch
period, whereby anyone quoting “New Executive Menu” on booking will receive 50%
off any of the Executive Menu.
Thai Square Putney Bridge is open Monday to Friday, 12 noon to 3pm and 6pm to
11pm and Saturday and Sunday, 12 noon to 11.30pm (10.30pm on Sunday).
