Maggie's Thai in Erskineville

©Monique Perrin/Lonely Planet


Worth the short stroll downhill from the Newtown strip, or as the focus of a night in pleasant Erskineville itself, this small neighbourhood Thai restaurant is a real gem. A short menu and blackboard specials offer intense, flavour-packed dishes from the open kitchen with great presentation and some unusual flavours. Intelligent service adds to the experience, as does outdoor seating.
