The long road that leads from the station to the Abbey should not be overlooked in the search for tasty, wallet-friendly treats. Salathai, for example, tucked away on the corner of pretty little Pierrepont Place, offers city-centre quality at off-the-beaten-track prices. A firm favourite with locals and tourists alike, this bright and breezy restaurant offers a cafe feel by day and a more intimate, bistro atmosphere at night, while serve up a wide range of classic Thai dishes, including good seafood/vegetarian options. The food may not be superposh gourmet standard, but everything is very fresh, and service is always charming.
