Charntra Thai
Every neighbourhood needs a reliable Thai restaurant — and this is Camerbwell's.
Overview
If you're after fresh and authentic homemade Thai cuisine, try Camberwell's Charntra, where everything is made from scratch — from the spring rolls and roti to the desserts. Pick up a six-pack of easy-drinking beer with fragrant citrus notes to pair with the sweet, spicy and sour flavours of Thai classics like tom yum prawns, spicy minced chicken larb seasoned with lime juice and fish sauce and pad see ew. There are also a few house specialties, including prawns in a coconut sauce with lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal and Thai basil. The best bit part of the meal? Finishing it all off with a banana fritter and ice cream. Oh, and corkage is free. Charntra Thai offers BYO wine and beer.
