Pepper Seeds Balmain

The cozy atmosphere and welcoming decor at this Thai restaurant on Darling Street create a special dining experience. Despite the high-quality menu, the prices are reasonable. The excellent service has left a lasting impression, and I will definitely return to sample more dishes.

We discovered this Thai restaurant one evening in Balmain and we are so glad we did! The food was full of flavor and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back to sample more of their dishes.

With Restaurant Moon recently reinvigorating my interest in Thai food, a well-timed mailbox menu pamphlet saw me head in to Pepper Seeds in Balmain. The flyer indicated they had a few dishes that extend beyond the usual suburban Thai standards. The restaurant, set on a quiet bend in Darling Street, takes up the ground floor of a narrow two-storey terrace. It’s kept wide open to take advantage of the balmy autumnal evening, allowing diners to appreciate the star filled sky.Inside, low rafters are made into a feature with a metal shabby chic chandelier hung over the long central table. One wall is paneled with wood, while the other is left as bare red brick. The lighting is low and moody, in contrast to the service, which is sunny and sweet. “The mussels we make with a basil sauce inside,” our waitress volunteers when we show an interest in the menu cover photo, a dish called Mussel Delights $19.90). The resulting dish sees...

Absolutely brilliant experience... Friendly staff... Lovely welcoming decor and what food. Must go place. Great value and its licensed plus minimal charges for BYO.

I have dined at this restaurant many times and have never had a bad meal. Last night, I went with a group of six and ordered the duck salad with a nice spicy kick and the curry. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing. The staff is friendly, and it's clear that the restaurant is becoming more popular as it was very busy when we left.
