Close to the market and opposite the gym, the virtues of fresh food and exercise to make you feel better. Add to this the distilled knowledge of the well-seasoned traveller and cookery teacher, Meera Freeman and her partner Andy O'Brien, and the formula seems just right. It includes serving up Asian breakfast soups and stuffed omelettes to designer muffins and good coffee.

Certainly provides the right dose for Kate McG who finds Kin Kao "a real tiramisu of a restaurant for jaded appetities and stressed lives. Fresh lively Thai flavours tempt and deliver spectacular dishes".
