Thai Oria

Thai Oria restaurant in Paris' outer La Defense is a gentle, elegant and modern Thai eaterie that will transport you to Asia. While the décor is authentic Thai, the clichés have been transformed into a cooler interior with large murals, stone carvings and, of course, a benevolent Buddha smilingly regarding the diners. Menus range from the pocket-friendly to the adventurous, with dishes like spring rolls, satay, fishcake, classic chicken red curry or green curry, fish fillet with sweet-sour tamarind sauce, salad of fruits de mer with citronnelle, and Pad Thai, the national dish. The service is quick and kind and there are Thai dancers from time to time like visitors from a beautiful planet.
