Having seen out 24 years on Cambridge Tce, The Oriental Thai (1993-2017) was, to put it mildly, a stayer. It wasn't quite the first Thai restaurant in Wellington (that was Sala Thai), but its splendour has never been matched before or since. Jutting out from the adjoining building like a Thai temple, the soaring conical space was a grand gesture from founder Suzy van der Kwast. With its sea of white tablecloths and brocade dining chairs, its ambience seemed not so much Thai as central European.
