An award-winning restaurant on the national food scene and a multiple winner for Best International restaurant in the Coast's Best of Food poll, Talay Thai has scored the inaugural Best Thai award in a field of very strong contenders. The market for Thai food has exploded in Halifax in recent years, and so Talay Thai, on the southern stretch of Barrington, has stepped up as the go-to choice, high quality at a more reasonable price than some. Thai restaurants live and die by their noodle/chicken/tofu dish Pad Thai, and this one is as good as you'll find anywhere.
