The plain white interior decor features art on the walls, a small rock garden with a palm tree, and an upright piano. There is also an upstairs dining area,?though it lacks the character of the ground floor space. The restaurant tends to attract more discerning expats and travelers looking for above-average food.

The extensive menu features traditional classic Thai dishes as well as many rare “ancient” dishes that you don’t see on many menus. As well as the usual meat and seafood choices you will find some oddities such as crocodile and ostrich. Many of the dishes on the menu are available as vegetarian versions. The vegetarian version is towards the back of the menu.

How much is a meal at Hemlock?

Prices are inexpensive, with most dishes in the 100-250 range. Beers start at 90 baht, and there is a good wine choice. A couple of dishes to try here are the spicy mango salad (vegetarian version) in a chili and peanut sauce and the spicy banana flower salad, both of which you don?t see on too many menus and are both delicious.

If you come to dine here, be adventurous and spend a bit of time studying the menu. Hemlock is busy most nights but you don?t usually have to wait long for a table. After dining the surrounding Phra Athit Road area offers some nice chilled out bars with live jazz and acoustic music in contrast to the rowdier nightlife on Khaosan Road.
