Restaurant Thailandais Ayutthaya

I hate to give a low rating on the restaurant because we received a very warm welcome, but the food just didn’t live up to my expectations. Thailandais Ayutthaya was right across the street from where my husband and I were staying. The staff were wonderfully pleasant and kind (5 stars on that). We spoke with the male employee and learned he was originally from Bangkok. We also a female employee and chatted with her; her English was very good. My husband ordered the pad thai and I ordered what I thought was described as fried noodles with shrimp and a peanut sauce. It actually came out as a cold lettuce salad with a couple pieces of shrimp, tomato, cucumber, egg, and fried vermicelli noodle bits on top. Not quite what I was expecting, but it was okay (for a salad) and the peanut sauce was actually quite good. My husband’s pad thai was okay, but didn’t taste authentic to me, which was surprising given that the employees were actually Thai. We have been to Thailand before and as a diehard lover of their cuisine, I was disappointed. The inside of the restaurant is small and intimate; I enjoyed the wall décor of photos of old Thailand and the royal family; it made me miss our visit there. 2 stars for the food, 5 stars for the staff and service.

Staying at a place across the street and decided to come here since A. I like Thai food and B. Was looking for something close by. The man who greeted us is a nice guy. Speaks English and told my wife and I that he is from Bangkok. Great. Must be legit. We ordered the pad thai and a fried noodle coconut peanut dish. The pad thai said it came with chicken and shrimp. Yes that is true. Chicken was good but it was literally two shrimps. I think when it says the dish comes with shrimp you should have at least three at a minimum. Otherwise the pad thai was decent. Not the best but A-​OK. The fried noodle dish was more like a noodle salad. We were surprised that it was an actual salad complete with lettuce, tomatoes and eggs. It was the coconut peanut sauce that made it deccent. However we weren’t exactly expecting a salad… Overall, probably not my first choice. 2.5 stars if possible.

Papi est un vrai!
D’une douceur extrême, Papi vous sert rapidement et simplement. L’ambiance est feutrée et le poulet au curry vert est exceptionnel avec son riz collant. Et des prix complètement abordable. Moins de 15 € pour très bien manger. Sawasdee kha Siam

Bön thaï
Déco simple et sympa, de vieilles photos en n& b de thaîlande, des plats bons (salade de boeuf froide aux herbes, curry de crevette au lait de coco…). On me l’avait conseillé et j’y retournerai ! En plus le serveur a eu la patience et la gentillesse de rire quand je disais que j’étais «chiante» !

Un Thaï bien relevé…
Les papilles sensibles doivent impérativement demander des plats pas trop épicés. Ma grand-​mère s’est fait avoir avec les crevettes. On a bien rigolé de la voir devenir toute rouge et d’avoir la gorge en feu. Elle, s’en souviens encore.
Ayutthaya, du nom de l’ancienne cité thaïlandaise dont les ruines sont encore aujourd’hui une des merveilles du pays, né paye pas de mine de l’extérieur. Pourtant on retrouve bel et bien les saveurs de la Thaïlande dans les assiettes. On trouve beaucoup de sucré salé et beaucoup d’ananas.
Les tarifs sont raisonnables, et le rapport qualité /​prix est respecté.
Ayutthaya est une bonne adresse de Pigalle.

Mon restaurant Thai favori à Paris — best Thai food in Paris
Un petit coin de Thailande à Paris, situé entre la place Pigalle et la Place des Abbesses. Ou vous pourrez retrouvez ou découvrir les délicieuses saveurs de la cuisine Thai. Mon plat préféré reste le poisson sauté au basilic mais certains de mes amis né jurent que par les travers de porc, le pat thai ou le poulet sauté au poivre et à l’ail. Si vous aimez manger épicé vous pouvez toujours commander votre plat phet phet (= avce une extra dose de piment). Bref à essayer absolument avant de devenir completement accro… comme moi.
