Cher Thai Eatery

Walk into Cher Thai on North Street and you'll clock it immediately: this is the kind of place where they're not mucking about with fusion gimmicks or Instagram-bait presentations. You're getting authentic Thai food cooked with actual technique, the sort of heat that makes you sweat properly, and flavours that taste like someone's been to Thailand and remembered what it tastes like. The room's unpretentious—service staff who actually know their stuff, portions that don't leave you hungry an hour later, and prices that won't make you wince. It's become the sort of neighbourhood spot that locals fiercely protect, which tells you everything you need to know.
