Indochine

My friends have been raving about this restaurant for as long as I can remember! I'm embarrassed to say that in the 10 yrs I've lived in, and been traveling to Wilmington, It wasn't until last weekend that I made my way to Indochine.

Indochine is Thai/Vietnamese fusion. This place is packed out every weekend, so I was envisioning hours of waiting.  Surprisingly, we only had to wait thirty minutes; which we spent at the bar enjoying a nice glass of red. The hostess escorted us out of the main dining hall and into a small dining hut. We sat with a view of the outside bar and the extensive gardens. It is the most charming of restaurants.

The food, in fact, was unbelievable!! My friend and I decided to both get something different and then share, this way we got the full experience. Our waiter was candid and offered his suggestions for the best things on the menu. He must have instilled confidence because we took all of his recommendations. We started with Cha Gio and the small cabbage based salads. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Pad Ki Mao and Jungle Curry, both equally delicious. We got the dishes Thai hot and they didn't disappoint. Our waiter insisted upon the coconut cake for dessert and Holy Moly! The cake was moist and the perfect size to split.

Indochine isn't just a restaurant, it is a full on, Thai experience. I'm hooked and planning my next visit already!
