Talay Thai House calls itself Ericeira's first authentic Thai restaurant, and after a week of grilled fish and bifanas it's exactly the change you want. The flavours are the real deal, not toned down for tourists.
The open kitchen is half the fun: you watch the woks go while you wait, and the food comes out fast. Reviewers keep mentioning the chicken satay skewers, and there are plenty of vegan options too.
The room is warm and buzzy and the staff are friendly. It opens for dinner from 5:30 PM, earlier than most places in town, so it works for a post-surf early dinner.
Find it on Rua do Arrabalde, a short walk from the main square. Phone: +351 962 953 480.
