Taste of Thailand on the Costa del Sol

Thai Garden Fuengirola, a popular restaurant run by a Thai family, continues to expand its menu on the Costa del Sol by serving traditional regional dishes. Every meal is prepared using authentic recipes and cooking techniques, giving visitors a genuine taste of Thailand without leaving Spain.

To keep diners comfortable during hot summer months, the establishment has installed brand-new sunshades across its outdoor terrace. Located on one of the main town streets, the expanded shaded area provides a cool space to enjoy lunch, dinner, or a drink while watching passers-by.

The restaurant menu features regional specialities rarely found outside Thailand. A prime addition is Khao Soi, a celebrated curry noodle soup from Northern Thailand that combines coconut curry, tender meat, egg noodles, crispy noodles, and traditional pickles. Other new additions include homemade spicy Thai sausage, traditional Thai fish cakes, and slow-cooked pork ribs finished with a custom Thai glaze. For dessert, guests can order mango sticky rice, one of the country’s most famous sweet dishes.

For lighter summer dining, the venue serves fruit-based salads priced at €12 each. Diners can select options featuring mandarin, grapefruit, green mango, pineapple, or watermelon, mixed with traditional herbs and Thai spices. Guests can also add protein, such as tofu, chicken, pork, duck, or prawns, to convert the dish into a complete lunch or evening meal.

To accommodate various dietary requirements, the kitchen prepares a broad range of clearly labelled vegan and gluten-free choices. These meals receive the same attention to traditional flavour and care as the rest of the menu items, ensuring plant-based diners have plenty of delicious choices.

In addition to traditional food, the establishment serves Hawkstone Lager and Hawkstone Cider, the award-winning drinks produced by Jeremy Clarkson’s UK farming team. These beverages provide a crisp complement to traditional Thai cooking.

Value remains a focal point for the business, with a three-course lunch menu priced at €16, which includes a starter, main course, and a drink. For those who prefer to dine at home, food delivery is available through the Glovo and Uber Eats platforms. The establishment operates seven days a week from 1 pm until late, and it maintains an average of one five-star review for every day it has been open.

Located at Calle del Castillo 12, Fuengirola, Thai Garden provides an accessible option for local residents and holidaymakers seeking traditional Southeast Asian dining. Reservations and further enquiries can be made by calling 61 40 40 420.
