Berlin getaway series: #1.3 SZCZECIN - Buddha Thai & Fusion

EATING OUT IN SZCZECIN - BUDDHA THAI & FUSION

Thanks to the advice on TripAdvisor we discovered a very satisfying lunch and dinner place named "Buddah Thai & Fusion". As it transpired during our stay in Szczecin, this was one of three new asian restaurants under one umbrella company. They are clearly an  entrepeneurial company, with advertisements in all the tourist maps, bus shelters and all main traffic areas in the city.

"Buddha Thai & Fusion" is situated in the Stare Miasto - meaning Old City, and the square that the restaurant looks out onto is one of the most beautiful and well maintained areas of the city. It is conveniently the most densely restaurant populated area, so it is worth visiting regardless if looking for somewhere to eat. Directions here.

When we finally decided to try this Thai restaurant - not really expecting to find great asian food in Szczecin, we were wonderfully surprised an impressed. 

For lunch I ordered the small crispy duck dish, and E a mango and prawn salad. Now I love a good duck dish, but this was AMAZING. So fresh and tender in the meat but perfectly crisped on the outside. However I do believe the chili count was wrong, as it was only supposed to be one chili heat, as was E's - yet mine was at least 5 times hotter than the prawn/mango salad. Still I managed to get through and probably gave my immune system a boost.

We finished up by sharing a Thai Ice-Cream Sunday, helping put out the fire on my tongue and immediately agreed to come back for a dinner another night.

When we returned for dinner the following night we decided to sit indoors and admire the effort that had gone into the interior  decoration, atmosphere and attention to detail.

Over dinner we took advantage of the cocktails (approximately €4 each) and tried a few more absolutely delicious dishes. During both our visits to "Buddha Thai & Fusion" our waiters were friendly and attentive without being pushy or hurrying us on, and spoke english exceptionally well. While the price is on the higher side compared to competition in Poznan the conversion to euros is not excessive and well worth it for the service and quality.

Buddha Thai & Fusion was definitely one of the best finds for food in Szczecin, and further information can be found at their website: www.buddharestaurant.pl

Try the duck!
