jake Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 A word of warning - fish sauce is a major ingredient in most thai dishes - so its well worth checking if it used in the "veggie" dishes as some restaurants take a lax attitude to its use in "veggie" dishes. As for what is best - depends what you like! I always like green tofu curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verona Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Some veggies eat fish don't they so might not be an issue? I would say most Thai dishes are nice, just ask for them to leave the meat out. Best place I'd say is Patoo on Ecclesall Rd or Thai Puna on London Rd. I had a bad experience at the Travellers involving a fly, i'll not go into it on here but the managements handle of the situation left a lot to be desired and I have never been back.

Eater Sundae Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Now that would really confuse a restaurant. " I'm a pescatarian!" "I don't care what religion you are. Now, what do you want to eat?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you're vegetarian - by definition - you dont eat dead animals - including fish. So you confuse them even more to say you're vegetarian and then eat fish. Its a bit like saying you're tee-total but drink vodka... anyway.. going a bit off topic now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thais aren't big vegetarians. Buddhists aren't like Hindus in this way. many Thais have a 'vegetarian week' once a year when they don't touch meat or fish products, usually around September-October time, this is a Chinese practice they borrowed though.

Exactly - thats why you have to be quiet careful with thai food if you are vegetarian. In most towns you will find one veggie place - but its not a common thing for most beyond the vegetarian week.
