Book NowAbout Little Turtle
Just off the main strip in Enmore, Little Turtle turns plant-based dining into a punchy celebration of Thai heat and fragrance. Diners point out that the kitchen skips the heavy seitan and processed mock meats altogether, leaning instead into fresh vegetables, crisp mushrooms, and seasoned tofu. Standouts span traditional staples to unexpected mashups—think red curry arancini, crispy cauliflower wings, and a hollowed roll holding red curry bunny chow. Tables fill quickly with mixed groups of carnivores and plant-eaters splitting pad see ew and eggplant curry, keeping dinner casual with their own bottles picked up from down the road.
- Whole-food plant-based cooking: The menu skips imitation meats and seitan, building layers of depth out of fresh produce, mushrooms, and seasoned tofu.
- Inventive Thai fusions: Cross-cultural creations like red curry arancini and bunny chow share the menu with classic stir-fries and fragrant curries.
- Relaxed BYO policy: Guests can bring their own wine and beer to accompany share plates across the cozy dining rooms and rear terrace.
