About Lantern by Nu

Tucked into a laneway off Gouger Street, Lantern by Nu serves vibrant, uncompromising Thai cooking with market-fresh produce and serious punch. Diners bypass the main strip for slow-cooked beef cheek curry, crisp salt and pepper squid, and raw oysters sharp with nam jim sauce. When choosing is too hard, tables opt for the multi-course banquet, pairing plates with house mango chili margaritas and finishing with coconut ice cream served right in the shell.

  • Feed Me banquet: Chef-curated banquet runs from fresh seafood starters to curries and house dessert.
  • Shell-served ice cream: House-churned coconut ice cream served directly in a carved whole coconut shell.
  • Thai-spiced cocktails: The bar shakes up signatures like the Dragon Lady and spicy mango chili margarita.

Why Diners Choose Lantern by Nu

Discover why diners choose Lantern by Nu for authentic Thai dining, group celebrations, and laneway atmosphere in Adelaide.

  • Elevated, Authentic Thai Cuisine

    Dishes highlight high-quality cuts and traditional spice profiles, from kingfish ceviche and crying tiger to tender slow-cooked beef cheek and duck curries.

    The wagyu beef was incredibly tender and full of flavour – one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The curries were also exceptional – rich, perfectly spiced, and full of depth.

  • Seamless Group Hospitality

    Attentive, knowledgeable staff manage large group tables and milestone events seamlessly with fast pacing and thoughtful service.

    Our variety of drinks and different dishes we ordered for our table of 12 mostly came out very quick! We were quite surprised, as they are a very busy venue. They were well-staffed for a busy Friday night.

  • Hidden Laneway Sanctuary

    Tucked into Selby Street just off Gouger Street, the industrial dining room offers a lively, stylish retreat from the busy precinct.

    A fantastic hidden gem just off Gouger Street—this spot feels like a well-kept secret. The space has been cleverly transformed, with its industrial charm adding to the atmosphere.

  • Craft Spiced Cocktails

    A specialized cocktail program brings genuine Thai ingredients and vibrant spices to signature drinks like the Mango Chili Margarita and Dragon Lady.

    The cocktails looked fantastic and tasted so good. My Mango Chili Margarita actually had heat, and still refreshing at the same time.

  • Oysters in Nam Jim Sauce

    the oysters in their NamJin sauce which definitely has a kick to it but worked so well with the seafood

  • Roast Duck Curry

    It had just enough spice and heat that it's not overwhelming, balanced out by the lychees and pineapples, all tied in together by the creamy red curry sauce.

  • Green Curry
