This is a great little restaurant opposite the lighthouse in Mc crae. You may find that the staff are rude and forgetful, however I can put up with this as the food is so fresh and tasty. Their mixed entree plate is great and plenty for 2 people to share. Their fish cakes are amazing and not rubbery as you get from alot of thai restaurants. We also shared the snapper which was cooked to perfection. Limited wine list but your going there for the food not the wine.
This Thai restaurant is awesome. We ordered some t/a and we had some delicious chicken satay sticks, some of the best one eaten.
And we had Jasmine rice, and green chicken curry which was amazingly good!!
We also ordered chicken pad Thai and once again this was one of the best Thai meals I’ve eaten in a long time!
This was a perfect dinner w excellent service. There were cues of ppl and inside was packed! Hardly surprising, this place is worth driving for.
BTW thank you to the pizza shop next door. We were going to go there but they had a function on apparently and they would not serve t/a pizzas. How odd give that there were at least 5 tables spare inside lol
But their loss was definitely our gain. Yahooo hahaha. Visit this place if you can.
Found this place driving down point napean road, great Thai place. The lighthouse cafe stayed open late and served us while other restaurants on the strip were closing. Food was good, well priced, large portion and well made with gluten free options. Would recommend pad Thai, crispy wontons and roti with peanut sauce.
The food was very nice and so was the service. We had a really enjoyable dinner and I would definitely go back there. The food was very well seasoned and full of flavour. Ambiente could improve heaps and slightly expensive but food made up for it.
We came here on a day trip, and someone recommended the Lighthouse to us. Their Penang Duck curry and coconut rice were delicious and fragrant, and we especially loved the fresh basil. Lovely waiters, but unfortunately took a little longer to receive our main course on this busy evening.
Really good Thai food. Fresh and tasty, we had the tamarind fish and Pad Thai and it was delicious. The restaurant is clean and well presented, the staff are friendly and prompt and there were lots of other happy patrons! Would definitely come here again when in the area.
Staying in McCrea for the night and was recommended this place. So glad we took the advice. We bought our own wine from a local winery and matched it with beautiful fresh and tasty Thai. The place was buzzing but the service was so friendly and slick. Nothing was too much trouble. Very well priced as well. Winner all round!
Best Thai on the peninsula, very tasty food, service a little slow but who cares when the food is good. Good range of drinks as well. Try the entree tasting plate you won't be disappointed
After leaving 3 restaurants in Dromana that were ordinary, we hit this place by chance and ordered up a storm for takeaway. Even after a 45 minute ride back home, it was awesome. Seriously good thai takeaway food. Not brilliant, but just really well prepared and executed. like most thai, its on the pricey side but it was worth it.
Best Thai food I have ever had.. Absolutely delicious with the freshest ingredients. I would highly recommend. Only downside Waitress service a bit slow but food makes up for it.
Lovely beachside Thai restaurant. A friend and I decided to go for a drive this past weekend and we ended up driving all the way to McCrae where we found this lovely Thai restaurant. We were seated promptly by happy, friendly staff. Our meals were very nice & tasty, service was quick. The only let down was the roti bread served with satay. The satay was delicious, the roti however was a little 'hard' - a little too tough to comfortably cut with a knife and a little difficult to eat. Otherwise a great meal. The green curry chicken and coconut rice I ordered were just lovely. The entree Thai fish cakes were delicious. The accompanying sauce perfect. Very nice, relaxed atmosphere. The staff looked after us well. A great night.
Authentic and delicious Thai. This place has the most amazing, authentic Thai food I've tasted outside of Thailand. The restaurant is lovely but we normally order take away. My mouth is watering just thinking about it...
I always get takeaway from here when I come and stay at McCrae for a weekend away. I always get Gang Paenang Beef, a thick red curry based dish with lots of meat and just amazing flavour. I also regularly get the Mince pork Larb which has lovely flavours with chilli, kafir lime, coriander, and lemon. These are my two go to dishes! They are so nice, I have rarely deviated but have ordered other dishes and the only one I didn't love was the Pad Thai noodles which was a bit bland.
The wait can be long but worth it. Thai is a passion for my family and I, and we have been eating from The Lighthouse Café for many years now - it has become a summer tradition. We order as soon as it opens as it is very popular for both dine it and take away.
Compulsory for us are the green curry with chicken & red curry with beef, pad Thai, roti & coconut rice plus we usual pick a random item and to date we have never been disappointed.
Sawadee ka. Finally. Good food on the peninsula.
Delicious and fresh. Staff were fab even though they were run of their feet.
The baked coconut custard was scrumptious
Great experience. I went here with my partner, it was my first time & his second time at TLC. Great service & great food.
Pad thai is delicious & my thai red curry was exceptional. Good service & a good timing between servings
I Liiike.. First visit to The Lighthouse Cafe was prompted by the fact the place always looked full whenever I passed. Dipped my toes in the water with a green curry and sizzling prawns with plain rice and roti take away. The food was outstanding with the roti pealing and flaking to perfection.
In house dining was like so many other Asian restaurants with furnishings plain and layout given little imagination to floor plan or privacy. Very Noisy, even at half capacity.
Young staff giving a varied table experience on each visit but always seem polite. Food prices very reasonable and from a lover of Thai style food this is one of my favourite haunts for takeaway.
We've been going here for years now and quality of the food is always great and great value for money. Service can be a little slow from time to time but generally TLC is a nice experience.
Best Thai in Melbourne...not just the Peninsula! Sometimes difficult to book in on a Fri or Sat night but that's because is so good! I used to love the gang panang Nuer the best but since have been vego the yellow curry stir fried veggies r to die for. Can't get fresher tasting veggies & more delicious sauces. Also very clean & great service...especially if your lucky enough to be served by Meg:-)
Excellent food, waited a bit long but it was definitely worth the wait! Used to go to other Thai restaurants on the Peninsula, but we have now found a place that we will go back to time and time again. A little music couldn't hurt, but since the place got so packed and noisy and wasn't really nessessary later into the evening.
Fantastic meal at a reasonable price roughly 30 dollors a head. We will be back again and recommend to others.
Excellent food, service good, maybe a bit noisy but I guess that means everyone was having a good time.
Very fresh food. Best Thai on the peninsula.. This would have to be the most consistently excellent Thai restreaunt I have eaten at. Currys are always sensational. They dont mind catering for people that don't deal with hot food. Highly recommended.
Amazing. The Lighthouse Cafe has a great atmosphere, the best Thai food I have ever eaten, the service is great, and the people are so friendly. Always booked so get in early if you're planning on getting in on a Friday or Saturday night. They're closed Tuesdays. Best Thai food in Australia, by far!
Great food
Lots of meat and vegetables too n the dishes.
Not just sauce and noodles.
If really being picky, I would have like tamarind in the Pad Thai. Next time I will ask.
Great atmosphere and staff.
Will be back for sure to try other dishes.
4.8. It’s a great Thai place. As one member of our party said halfway through our meal, “I think this is better than any Thai meal I’ve had up in Melbourne”. It’s lovely food here with lovely flavours. We had the prawn toast, satay, duck salad, BBQ prawns and the yellow curry with beef plus rice and roti on our first visit. On our second we had a prawn massaman and a range of other dishes. All the dishes were excellent and were notably very well made with fresh high quality ingredients. The massaman is the best flavored one I’ve ever had. It was utterly delicious. And, the coconut rice was exceptional as well. The service was really great here too. Brisk, efficient and unobtrusive but with lots of cheery smiles and comments. This is superior local Thai. We’ll return again and again for sure.
Food was awesome. Their peanut sauce is to die for. Chicken skewers were the best. FAST service, as if they knew our order beforehand. In n out within 10 minutes. Padh thai and Chicken fried rice were amazingly delicious. HIGHLY Recommend it!!!!
Satay Chicken and coconut rice was amazing. It's a great little place for dinner. It gets busy, so book a table ahead of time.
We came here to celebrate birthday. Loved the Food and Customer Service. Amazing Staff. Thank You
Great staff able to assist with menu items mix nice Thai food
