BANGKOK CAFE

The main problem with this place is that it is easy to pass by without noticing it. As a landmark, it is directly across the street from the Pharmacie Cachat. Decor wise, this is a small and simple place, with just a few tables and chairs and a few more outdoors when weather allows. But the main feature here is the food. Having lived for 15 years in Asia I am always a bit sceptical about Asian food in Europe, and particularly in France where dishes are 'adapted' to suit local tastes, often resulting in something bland and insipid that bears little resemblance to the real thing. Rest assured, this is not a problem you will encounter at Bangkok Café. The food is authentically Thai, served in generous portions at reasonable prices. There is always plenty of extra chilli to add if you like things on the hotter side. We have eaten here several times and will most definitely eat here again. The quality is consistent and the dishes as good as any we have eaten in Thailand. Bangkok Café definitely makes a welcome addition to Evian's culinary scene, which is somewhat dominated by pizza places. But if you are looking for a leisurely dinner here, you are out of luck. It closes around 18h00, so it is best a lunchtime or very early dinner option. It is spotlessly clean and run by a discreet Franco-Thai couple who previously ran bigger busier restaurants in Paris and in Annecy. Bangkok Café is much more homely and intimate. The menu is relatively small, but everything we have tasted so far has been excellent. Highly recommended.

Découverte magnifique qui invite aux voyages. On a l'impression d'être chez soi dans cet endroit calme et paisible. La carte est petite, mais les produits sont de qualité et le prix est très abordable. Nous avons dégusté des rouleaux de printemps aux crevettes en entrée et, comme plat, nous avons opté pour un poulet au curry rouge accompagné de riz nature, ainsi que des nouilles de riz au poulet. Les plats sont savoureux et bien présentés. Un petit plus pour le poulet qui était tendre. Les propriétaires sont souriants.
