Thai Square Trafalgar Square is the group’s flagship restaurant at 21–24 Cockspur Street. Open since 1998, its ornate dining room occupies a former embassy building and uses an elegant spiral staircase to connect the main floor with an airy mezzanine, creating a memorable setting in central London.
Thai dumplings, chicken satay, salt and pepper squid, duck spring rolls and seared scallops provide varied ways to begin. Tom yum soup, green curry, papaya salad and familiar noodle and rice dishes sit alongside newer recipes, balancing chilli, citrus, coconut, herbs and aromatic spice across the menu.
Trafalgar Square specialities place particular emphasis on seafood. Crispy soft shell crab with black pepper, tamarind prawns, sea bass with lemongrass and mixed seafood curry appear beside stewed duck, grilled meat and slow braised beef in an aromatic coconut sauce.
Vegetable stir fries and plant based curries give vegetarian and vegan diners useful choice, while set menus make sharing straightforward for groups. Wine, beer and cocktails support the food, and the mezzanine can be hired privately, with the separate club downstairs extending selected evenings beyond dinner.
