Certain people will be familiar with Eat East, a Thai restaurant with a nonconformist look, on Chaussée de Waterloo, between Avenue Churchill and Avenue de Fré. Several months ago a new team took over the business, and there has been a noticeable improvement. There are now a number of ‘little extras’ – great initiatives which other restaurants might like to take a closer look at.

There is an easy-to-follow menu with soups, entrées, dim sum, poultry, meat, and scampi. One ‘little extra’ is called the “diet corner”, offering light dishes, the recipes for which have been created by a dietician. The number of calories is given next to each dish so that anyone on a diet can work out exactly what they are eating. There is also a “kids’ corner” with special meals for children, and even a Wifi connection, providing an internet connection for those who need to eat and surf! Highlights on the menu include chicken in red curry with bamboo, oriental curried beef, yellow curry with coconut, scampi in green curry with Thai aubergines, and much more, all prepared by three young lady chefs from Thailand. Needless to say the flavours are authentic, with a great balance of delicate and spicy.

KIOSQUE RATING
Plus points: relaxed and modern surroundings, excellent curry dishes, and very affordable prices.
On the downside: a very poor choice of wine.
