Have yours with a drink: a cold Singha, a Thai iced tea, or one of the Thai-inspired cocktails from the full bar at the front. The kitchen, run by Chef Mint, cooks with real heat and adjusts it for the table. Every curry, stir-fry, noodle and rice dish can be made vegetarian, and the Green Curry can be made vegan. The Massaman curry with roti is the dish regulars send their friends in for. There's a daily lunch special, and a warm room built for sharing plates and staying a while.

We stayed at the hotel and ate at the fortunate fox several times throughout the week. The team of servers was accommodating and attentive. We conducted a lunch meeting and they totally set us up with everything we needed, while never making us feel like we were overstaying our welcome! Food was fantastic, atmosphere was perfect for daytime and very lively at night.
