Petit Bangkok was founded approximately two decades ago (circa mid-2000s) in Barcelona's Sarria-Sant Gervasi district, originally opening as a small spot on Carrer de Zaragoza in the Farro neighbourhood -- described as 'the best-kept secret of the Farro neighbourhood'. The concept brings authentic Thai cuisine to Barcelona. The restaurant has expanded to three Barcelona locations (Balmes, Vallirana, Avila/Poblenou) plus one in Sitges, while the original Zaragoza location was converted into Thai Noodles, a more casual offshoot.

Wok dishes from 10.90-13.90 EUR. Around 25 EUR per person without drinks.
