That's a very bold statement.

Would be half a dozen Thai restaurants I can think of that are nicer, or have more authentic Thai cuisine and that is in Melbourne alone, let alone the rest of the world.

I would be very surprised if you did not love living in Mordy

Think there is a rental coming up when a certain person finishes their Mansion

The problem I would have is that if you go every week the food looses its spark.

Perhaps he exaggarated a tad...

Just wanted to say that I live in Cheltenham, I love going to Mentone and Mordy. Mentone has a nice "feel" to it.

Nope.

I stand by my statement. And I have eaten thai food in UK, New Zealand, America, THAILAND, and believe it or not Mexico.

Actually Gingerboy in Melbourne CBD would be on a par, but it's a very different flavour of Thai cuisine.

BTW a new restaurant is opening in Mordialloc, Louise you might be interested to hear about this, it's another bigger branch of Parkers in Parkdale.

Buzzy

ok everyone calm down...I think we have all had too much fish sauce.

As for what Mordialloc is like, well I took someones advice from this forum, it might well have been Busybee actually, and we have moved here and I absolutely love it so far, lots of character, walk to the beach, plenty of places to eat/drink, big shopping center 10 mins away and a general safe feeling about the place.

Only problem for me is my wife and dogs dont move over from Perth for another 3 weeks, so I havent really enjoyed any of the above so far!

Well you've lost all your credibility there for a start, Gingerboy would best be described as being Thai inspired, or SE Asian in general, almost certainly aimed at a Western palate, as are most of Melbournes Thai restaurants. Most Thais would not enjoy it and would certainly not find it authentic.

And as for being better than anything in Thailand, well that's just nonsense.

Some of the better ones are :

Mamanee - Collingwood - specialises in Southern Thai dishes
Thai Culinary - Elizabeth St - some of the best duck and beef noodles soups
Toorak Thai - South Yarra - general Thai
Yim Yam - Yarraville - specialises in Isaan/Laos food
Khrua Thai - Richmond - General
Ying Thai - Richmond/Ying Thai 2 - Carlton

All these restaurants have a large Thai following.

If you want the Gingerboy type place then Long Grain would be better.

Fortunately this thread is about Mordialloc, as clearly my culinary opinions are not required here.

Your a well traveled guy Simon so if you make a recommendation I would go with it.

Doesn't have to be the best thai in the world - if the food is decent people will come. Which people is the real debate

A friend of ours is a professional food critic and she recommends the place. She acknowledges its not the best Thai she has "ever" had but its still rates as a place she returns to time and time again.

Away from the food debate Mordy is still highly recommended

We are going to take a good look at renting in mordy and surrounding suburbs when we arrive next week

went there yesterday as during my cruise around to get my bearings in my new surroundings. Had a nice vibe & liked the place alot, got a very nice bottle of wine from the cellar door aswell got chatting to the guy about the area & he says it has a very "village feel" ... everyone seemed very friendly!!

Hiya
Just to say that we live in Aspendale which is the next suburb down the bay, close enough to walk into Mordy and I find the beach this side of the creek a lot quiter, as there is no real parking until you get to Edithvale, you tend to just get the locals.
On the downside, if you have got High school aged kids, the local state school has not got the best reputation - not got first hand experience but this is just what I have heard.

Good luck with it all

am sure he'll be along in a min to tell how absoulotely fabulous it is , as is everything in aus
