Thai Passion Bistro

Honing on the authentic essence of Thai cuisine, Thai Passion Bistro champions enriched Asian flavours with modern and imaginative dishes. Sitting in the leafy Auckland suburb, Parnell, it’s no wonder the atmospheric eatery is a firm favourite with Thai-food lovers visiting Parnell.

Warm, intimate and welcoming, the dining room interior has been subtly transformed with modern Thai influences and smart furnishings alongside traditional, colourful eastern finishes. Each table is embellished with thoughtfully chosen crockery settings and tableware, all of which come together to create an up-town Asian ambience.

Championing the freshest ingredients and incorporating culinary techniques picked up by the owner, Nolina’s journey through the fizzing food markets of Bangkok and fragrance oozing kitchen of her mother, Thai Passion Bistro presents an imaginative menu of playfully plated dishes. Snack fanatics will love the street-food-inspired menu which features satay addicts (marinated chicken skewers served with homemade peanut sauce).

Bursting with flavour, main courses by-pass staple Thai dishes and present fish curries delights like the beef short rib panang or the crispy snapper served with lemongrass, turmeric, chilli and kaffir. Each dish, a spiritual interpretation of classic Thai cuisine promises something new and tempts those of us who are faithful Thai food enthusiasts.
