Diep Le Shaker

Diep Le Shaker might not be the perfect choice for cheap-and-cheerful chow or families with youngsters, but we defy you not to have a great time.

Live music acts playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights add to the buzzy atmosphere in this pretty glass-roofed gem, and the cocktails will have you clamouring for more. It's hard to choose a favourite, but they do a brilliant Bramble and nothing kicks like their Irish Mule.

To ensure that you'll be able to close your eyes and think of Thailand, Diep Le Shaker flies in all their essential ingredients from Bangkok and puts a firm emphasis on the authenticity of their dishes. To that end, they presents food true to its roots - dishes meant to be spicy ARE - so choose accordingly and follow the 1-4 chilli guide on the menus.
