Tao's Restaurant
If you love Thai food, then Tao’s is the place to go. For those who are not yet familiar with Thai cuisine then you owe it to yourself to visit Tao’s, where you will be received with a unique warmth and be guided though the menu with expertise. The ambiance at Tao’s is very relaxed and the interior spacious, yet homely with a cosy corner where you can sit and enjoy a pre-dinner drink by the warmth of the fire, during the cold winter months, while during summer you can sit outdoors and enjoy the panoramic sea view with Naxos in the distance.
Ran, the proprietor, is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about Thai cuisine. He insists that the recipes are prepared with only the freshest ingredients and uses local products whenever possible. The two Thai chefs at Tao’s prepare their curry sauces from the basic raw ingredients. Each dish is prepared on the spot, and to the individual’s required strength – ie mild, spicy or very spicy. Thai cooking is very simple. Its flavour comes mainly from the skilful manipulation of certain essential ingredients such as Thai basil, chillies, coriander, ginger, coconut cream, garlic, onions, shallots, lemon grass, fish sauce and soy sauce. In most dishes, very little oil is used and the ingredients are lightly cooked to retain their crunchiness and natural flavour.
When it comes to choosing from the menu, forget your usual preferences and take Ran’s advice and try out some of his recommendations – you will not regret it! Children are made very welcome at Tao’s with a selection of children’s dishes available on the menu.
