Tuk Tuk
A cozy Thai restaurant located in one of the villas in Vračar. Tuk Tuk exudes authenticity — with elephants, Buddha statues, and flower pots throughout. The interior of the establishment is simple, but there’s a charming covered terrace with wooden lanterns. On the menu, you can find classic Thai dishes such as Khao Pad noodles (made from jasmine rice) and Pad Thai — with chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetables. One of the main spicy soups is Tom Kha Kai made with coconut milk, and, for example, fish soufflé Hor Mok Pla. For dessert, you can opt for mango sticky rice or coconut Khanom Tom. By the way, the owner of the establishment — a Thai woman — often serves the guests herself.
