Poppy's Thai 3 is a family run Thai restaurant at 129 Brackenbury Road in Hammersmith. Its eccentric dining room is filled with chandeliers, antiques, decorative animals and playful curios, giving the venue a character quite unlike a conventional neighbourhood restaurant. The relaxed bring your own drinks policy, cash payments and outdoor seating reinforce its informal Brackenbury Village atmosphere.
Starters cover vegetable spring rolls, spinach and cheese rolls, chicken satay, fish cakes, prawn rolls, dumplings, tempura and Thai style calamari. The Poppy's platter brings several small favourites together for sharing, while crisp aromatic duck offers a richer opening with familiar accompaniments. Tom yam and coconut based tom kha soups introduce the sour, spicy and aromatic flavours at the heart of the menu.
Thai salads such as som tum, glass noodle salad, seafood salad and grilled beef salad combine chilli, herbs and fresh acidity. Stir fried dishes can be prepared with garlic and pepper, chilli and basil, cashew nuts or vegetables, while green, red and massaman curries provide contrasting levels of richness and heat. Rice and noodle dishes include pad thai and other familiar wok cooked combinations.
Sea bass, prawns, squid and soft shell crab broaden the seafood selection, with salt and pepper, garlic and chilli preparations among the available styles. Meat free starters, vegetables, tofu and curries give vegetarian diners enough scope to build a complete meal. Generous portions, an imaginative interior and a wide choice of Thai classics make Poppy's Thai 3 particularly well suited to relaxed group dining.
