What it's like

Russell's Thai Tapas is a Foregate Street Thai restaurant in Chester for small plates, bao, curries, noodles, sharing lunches, dinners and casual group meals.

Russell's Thai Tapas gives Foregate Street a sharper Thai option: smaller plates, sharing dishes, bao, curries, noodles and a compact room that suits people who want to order across the menu.

The format is the point. It is not the place for one massive curry each and no discussion. It is for tables that like trying five things and pretending the final extra dish was a practical decision.

Worth knowing

Russell's is a strong newer Thai option because the sharing format gives you room to explore. It is not for people who hate small plates, tight rooms or the phrase "shall we just get one more?"
