Boulevard bookshop and Thai Cafe

Delightfully quirky Thai restaurant in a bookshop, situated in Hastings Old Town. The food (from a smallish menu, which is always reassuring as you know that it's not going to be pre-prepared) is tasty, fresh and the Thai lady (I believe the wife of the bookshop owner) cooks everything freshly for you. Service is friendly and efficient. You must take your own wine - for which they charge a small corkage of 2 per head - but every table has a jug of water and jasmine tea and other non alcoholic beverages are available. Without extras, starter and main are 20 per head. Highly recommended

Excellent Thai restaurant in a unique setting!! Reasonably priced at 17 for two courses and a 2 corkage fee if bringing your own drinks. Each dish is made to your spice preference/meat or veg preference. Great service, very attentive. Was the best satay chicken and massaman curry I've ever had!!!!

Great setting between bookshelfs. Fantastic starters. BYOB so I brought a bottle of white wine, 2pp corkage. Slightly disappointed by their special Beef Massaman curry, beef was a bit tough even though its 5 hour slow cooked. Set menu 17pp for 2 courses, more expensive than I had expected. Recommend getting the thai prawn crackers and 2 dipping sauces, everyone seemed to be getting it and it was worth the 2! Amazing sauces. Food was served quickly.

Great place to visit,to experience real Thai cuisine, and in a quirky restaurant surrounded by books. Covid problems will prevent my annual visit to Thailand this year, so having a place locally serving authentic meals is some consolation. Waitresses were friendly and attentive.

Lovely and cosy place. The food is absolutely fantastic, super tasty and the staff is amazingly lovely. The concept of eating inside a small bookshop makes it original and romantic. If you come to Hastings you should definitely have to come to this place. 11/10 would come again!
