Boonnak Thai

Boonnak Thai’s Topping street location puts this Thai restaurant right in Blackpool’s city centre. No wonder it’s such a popular destination among those working in the area, and for tourists making their way from the promenades to the nearby Winter Gardens. Indeed, bookings are essential for lunchtime, with Boonnak Thai’s popular single and two-course menus luring in diners with discount Thai from noon until the late afternoon. And, from 5pm until 7pm, Boonnak Thai is once again packed to the rafters with locals there for the early bird specials.

Both Boonnak Thai’s lunch and early bird menus cherrypick the best from this Blackpool Thai restaurant’s extensive a la carte menu of authentic dishes. Delicacies like Thai-style chicken satay skewers, tom yam and tom kha soups are an ideal start when you take your seats down Topping Street in the city centre, followed by typically light, spicy and flavour-packed main dishes such as green and red Thai curries, pad Thai and vegetarian pad siew. Every main comes with your choice of fragrant jasmine or egg fried rice, or upgrade to a bed of coconut or sticky rice or plain noodles.

Boonnak Thai’s bilingual a la carte menu highlights some amazing Southeast Asian specialties. Book a table at this Blackpool city centre Thai restaurant for a northeast Thai-style salmon dish, finely chopped and tossed in a spicy dressed salad or the deep-fried whole sea bass or salmon topped with chilli sauce. Seafood and fish do figure large in the kitchen of Boonnak Thai’s Topping Street restaurant, which is no surprise considering its location in Blackpool, perhaps the most famous seaside destination in the UK. Yet there’s a whole lot more on offer here, from meat and poultry to Thailand’s famous vegetarian cuisine.
