About Thai Terrace Restaurant
A downtown lunch break in Kelowna often means picking somewhere within walking distance of wherever the morning's parking spot turned out to be, and Thai Terrace Restaurant fits that brief at 210 Lawrence Avenue, a block or two from the civic and commercial heart of the city. It is close enough to the waterfront parks that lunch and a walk beside the lake make a reasonable pairing in summer.
Thai kitchens abroad tend to negotiate between what they cook at home and what a local room expects, and the balance lands differently in every restaurant. Heat is the obvious variable, and asking for a dish mild or hot means different things in different places, so be specific rather than trusting a number on a scale. Fish sauce, shrimp paste and oyster sauce turn up in many savoury dishes, which matters for vegetarians and for anyone with a shellfish allergy, and a kitchen can usually work around them if it hears about it in advance. Rice and noodle dishes, curries and stir-fries make up the common ground, though the depth of each varies.
Curries and soups travel better than anything fried, which is worth knowing if you plan to take a meal back to a hotel or an office. Downtown is at its busiest through the hot dry summer, when visitors add to the weekday lunch trade, and the middle of the day can be tight for both tables and street parking. Kelowna reaches a long way north and south along the lake, so allow travel time if you are coming in from Rutland, Glenmore or the Mission for an evening table.
