    PAI serves up casual Northern Thai cuisine in a bustling eatery that will transport you to the streets of Thailand, flags and Bob Marley posters included. Wooden beams run the length of the sprawling restaurant and give the underground space a warm, natural feel. The dishes at PAI are great for sharing. You won’t want to miss the papaya salad, which is served on a platter surrounded by shrimp chips, rice noodles and pork rinds. Ice-cold Singha and Chang are available by the bottle and there’s refreshing cocktail options to impress every connoisseur.

    China’s northern cuisine – szechuan – is spicier than its southern counterparts. It’s the opposite case with Thailand’s northern fare. Pai specializes in northern cuisine also, but its signature item, the Gaeng Masaman curry, is actually a central Thai dish – served with braised beef and served with jasmine rice. Delivery hours: 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Monday to Saturday), 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. (Sunday).

    One of Toronto’s sole destinations for Northern Thai cuisine, Pai is headed by renowned chef Nuit Regular, who offers her may-we-say stellar interpretations of authentic Thai fare (she’s also one of the culinary minds behind the lauded Sukhothai). The cozy-yet-spacious subterranean eatery at Duncan and Adelaide boasts a menu stacked with hot pot soups (think: hot and sour with lemongrass and prawns), and spicy meat and rice dishes like pork belly or oxtail with ginger curry and jasmine rice.
