For over 7 years, Double Bay locals jostled for space on communal tables for the tantalising offerings which are aplenty at this upbeat, minimalist, hole-in-the-wall establishment.

Flames tower from stir-fry woks and send wafting aromatic waves of coriander, lemongrass, lime leaves, fresh mint and the distinctive liquorice flavour of Thai Basil into the air.

The food is stylish, yet non-pretentious and definitely value for money. The often cramped and buzzing activities add to the experience which is truly and literally, Spice Market.
