Thai Cuisine in charming Ole Town Conyers Georgia

Classical Thai food served out of an old Victorian mansion in charming Ole Downtown Conyers, Georgia. Who saidthat Thai food should be served in only Thai decor? This is a clear example where vision can transcend acrossoceans.

These Ole Downtown areas are being bulldozed and shiny new cookie cutter high-rises are taking their place; all inthe name of development and growth. Whatever happened to honoring the simpler way of the past? The fine folks ofOle Town Conyers have embraced their past and kept it in tack. Narrow streets are lined with old architectural entryand walkways. Buildings are tucked in side streets and courtyards. This little downtown is right out of an old movie.Occupying one of these charming Victorian houses is Thai Palace. It could very well be Victorian Palace.

The Ole house has a wrap around porch, chimney and several vaulted ceiling trusses. Inside is divided into severalrooms. There is a sushi bar in one room and the other rooms serve as dining rooms. Architectural details arewonderfully restored to shine in ole world style. It is staggering what a little elbow grease and determination can do.There is no need to tear down the old and build over it. Renovate, revamp, restore and watch the old come to live.

We were visiting a friend in Conyers and this seemed like the perfect place for a reunion. After our harrowingexperience in Atlanta and Duluth with doggie dining, it was refreshing that we were welcomed with open arms here. Icalled ahead since they had a patio and was immediately encouraged to dine there. Upon arrival, our doggie wastreated with utmost kindness. Their patio is a magical setting with greenery and color.

Sitting street-side with the sun going down over Ole Town Conyers is sight to behold. The menu is classical Thaiand sushi. They offer take out and catering. Although, I don’t know why anyone would want to order take out and notdine in this spectacular surroundings.
