When it comes to must-visit restaurants in Edinburgh, Chaophraya is always at the top of the list. And it's no surprise with its stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and its inviting atmosphere. As a lover of Thai cuisine, I was excited to hear about their new breakfast menu and couldn't wait to try it out.
Nestled on the third floor of a charming Castle Street building, the restaurant boasts a beautiful interior with mirror panel walls, warm woods, and deep greys. It's the perfect setting for a romantic date or a special celebration. My dining partner and I were lucky enough to be seated in the sunny glass room, offering us breathtaking views of Princes Street and George Street.
The breakfast menu offers a wide selection of dishes, but the 'Khai Krata' Fried Eggs with Thai Sausages immediately caught my eye. As a meat-lover, I couldn't resist the combination of sweet honey-roasted sausage, savory minced chicken, and rich egg. And the light soy and siracha seasoning added the perfect amount of flavor without being too heavy for a morning meal.
As someone who always struggles between choosing a savory or sweet option for breakfast, I was happy to see that I didn't have to choose at Chaophraya. The menu encourages you to indulge in both with dishes like the Tropical Buttermilk Pancakes. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The fluffy pancakes were drenched in sweet maple syrup and topped with fresh mango, pineapple, and raspberries. The passionfruit compote and creamy coconut yoghurt added an extra layer of indulgence, making me feel like I was eating something healthy (even though I probably wasn't).
Being from Canada, I take my maple syrup and bacon very seriously. So when I saw the Sweet Chilli and Maple Glazed Smoked Bacon on the menu, I knew I had to try it. And I'm glad I did. The bacon had a nice kick of spice that added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the other flavors. My tip? Add a little to your tropical pancakes for a burst of flavor.
No breakfast is complete without some veggies, and the Wok Tossed Pak Chaoi with Garlic, Chilli and Soy Sauce was the perfect addition to our meal. While it was a bit too soft for my liking, the flavors more than made up for it. The dish was rich, savory, and had a hint of spice that left a pleasant tingle on my tongue.
But it's not just about the Thai-inspired dishes at Chaophraya. They also offer classic breakfast options with a Thai twist, such as Eggs Benedict with Siracha Spiced Hollandaise, Smashed Thai Avocado, and customizable omelettes. While I would have liked to see more Thai-based options on the menu, it's perfect for those who love a western-style breakfast with a touch of Thai flavor.
Overall, I would highly recommend trying out the breakfast menu at Chaophraya. It's a great way to start your day with a delicious meal and stunning views.
