18 Duncan Street Toronto, Ontario
Michelin-recommended Pai is run by celebrated local chef Nuit Regular and her husband and business partner, Jeff Regular. There are two outposts of the Thai restaurant in the city; the original restaurant, located at 18 Duncan St. opened in 2014, was named after a small village in Northern Thailand where the couple met. On the menu, foodies can expect delicious curries, including the gaeng kiaw wan (green curry), served with bamboo shoots, makrut lime leaves, basil leaves and coconut milk. It meets other Thai staples like chef Nuit’s famous Pad Thai, cooked in her house-made tamarind-palm sugar sauce, and the khao soi (fresh egg noodles stirred into a thick, golden coconut curry).
