For a good night out with your girls, I would recommend starting at Monsoon Poon. This place has a warm and bubbly vibe.We shared a bunch of Asian style dishes and made a good effort on the cocktail list. It's a great location for a restaurant, being in the heart of Courtenay Place also meant close to all bars.

Beautiful food and decor, friendly staff and great service. Waiting time is probably a tad long during the weekend but the wait is well worth it. All dishes are delicately made, personal favourites are the duck salad, Thai chicken curry, and of course the cocktails! Great place for a night out with families or colleagues.

The original and still the best. Great location to the all the bars and nightlife but hidden off the main street. Great atmosphere and excellent thai food. Good choice for a meal with a group of friends as the atmosphere is conducive to being just a little bit noisy!
