Good Thai food rarely doubles as a place to woo your sweetie, but dark and sultry Kittichai breaks the mold. Tucked into the trendy 60 Thompson hotel, the restaurant owns a jaw-dropping interior, replete with silk swaths, suspended orchids, and floating candles. Thai hounds know there are more authentic places in the city to get their fix, but Kittichai makes up for the lack of heat with well-polished European touches. Try the spicy and sour oxtail soup, bobbing with Kaffir lime leaves and charred tomatoes; tender organic chicken, served in a delicious green, coconut-scented curry dancing with Thai eggplant and sweet basil; or a delicious Thai ice cream sundae with coconut jelly, passion fruit seeds, and palm seeds.
