Although the pizzas are pretty good it is the atmosphere, the swanky decor and the live jazz which make this place a must. 7a Jesus Lane is smarter, cheaper and has better sofas, whereas Browns has a more natural atmosphere and much better food. This Thai restaurant manages to serve excellent food without being too dear. The service is very good and the atmosphere is more relaxed than in most oriental restaurants, which is a pleasant change. Busy English colonial style restaurant complete with big fans and jazz pianist.
Browns is bright and fun, always filled with bustle and attracts a varied crowd.
They do not accept reservations after 6 p. m. so you may have to sample the cocktails at the bar while you wait for a table. If you haven't already, try the fairly original pasta dishes followed by every single dessert on the menu. The food is good, and the monthly 'theme' food night is probably worth a look. Galleria Bridge Street. Although this 'trendy' cosmopolitan restaurant is possibly worth investigating on account of its fairly unusual menu and its rather special narrow terrace at the river's edge, Galleria is not particularly memorable.
