Plah means "fish" in Thai language.
Plah opened January 2004 as the first modern Thai restaurant in Scandinavia. Their tastes are Thai, but most of their produce is Nordic. They follow the Norwegian seasons and combine them together with flavors from the Thai season.
Plah offers a seasonal tasting menu in two settings:
  • the dining room: A 17-seat counter bar situated around the kitchen.
  • the emerald room: A beautiful private room for a maximum of 6 people for an intimate dining experience.

ปลา

Plah serves about 12 guests on evenings from Wednesday to Saturday.
We visited Plah as (part of) the celebration of Qi's birthday in 2024. 
We started with two signature cocktails - Cherry and Mirabelle, as apéritifs, then we enjoyed the set menu with red wines.
