Why it's worth checking out
Khaosan Lane sits in the Melbourne GPO on Bourke Street in the heart of the CBD. A much-loved Thai eatery — its name evoking Bangkok's famous Khao San Road — it's earned a strong reputation, combining quality, flavour-packed Thai street-food-style cooking with a fun, casual setting, the kind of tasty, vibrant spot that's become a genuine favourite in the city.
The appeal is that combination of quality, authentic Thai flavours, a fun, casual atmosphere and a handy central location at the Melbourne GPO, ideal for a tasty lunch, a casual dinner, a feed with friends or a flavour-packed bite while in the city. Quality Thai street-food-style cooking done well is a real winner, and Khaosan Lane has clearly won over a big, loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 820 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular city eatery gets busy at meal times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for tasty, flavour-packed Thai food, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Khaosan Lane at the Melbourne GPO.
