Muay Thai Restaurant and Bar is entering the ring! Combining Thai cuisine and boxing vibes, it’s set to make a splash right in the heart of Queen West. Founded by the same folks behind Thai Hai Cuisine and Thay Thai Bar, this spot promises to pack a punch in the city’s dining scene.
Inspired by the vital connection between Thai food fueling fighters, chef Tabun’s culinary journey began in Chiang Mai, where he mastered his skills at a top-rated restaurant before bringing his authentic Thai flavours to Toronto in 2002.
“Food is a universal language. We look forward to showcasing popular local dishes from different parts of Thailand that connect Muay Thai fighters on a daily basis,” says chef Tabun. “Our menu will incorporate sharing platters which are popular among fighters from Esarn with my own hometown recipes and popular Thai street food.”
The menu features a blend of traditional Thai dishes and innovative creations. From Crispy Miang Kham to Vancouver crab fried rice, each dish reflects the rich culinary heritage of Thailand while offering a unique twist.
The experience doesn’t end with the food. Along with fun, aptly named signature cocktails, including Knock Out Punch, Beautiful Boxer and Thai Tea Martini, there is also an extensive selection of Thai beers and mocktails.
Along with food to fuel and cocktails that pack a punch, stepping inside the restaurant is like entering world of Thai culture and martial arts. The interior is decked out in traditional  Thai colours, murals by Thai artists and even punching bags and a boxing ring-style rope along the perimeter.Â
You can find Muay Thai Restaurant and Bar at 325 Queen St. W. Don’t miss their grand opening on March 9, featuring complimentary pad Thai and Thai-themed trivia.
