Wang Thai serves Thai dishes at Lagoon Beach in Cape Town, with tables overlooking the ocean. The kitchen prepares sushi, salads, curries and noodles, and the bar serves wine and cocktails. The chefs are Thai, and the ingredients are locally sourced.

The restaurant sits at the water’s edge, so the view from the table takes in the beach and the sea. The menu covers the range of Thai cooking, from salads to curries, with sushi as a counterpoint. Desserts follow the main dishes, and the bar pours drinks through the meal.

Lagoon Beach is the reason the restaurant is here — the water draws the guests, and the kitchen feeds them.
