"A bright and fun spot in Wimbledon Village, Patara is a go-to for a casual first date or when you need somewhere that’ll keep your whole family happy. But one of the main reasons we like it is the outdoor terrace. It’s a hidden garden where you can enjoy a top-tier Thai green curry that’ll have you dousing your tongue with water before going in for another bite. The casual indoor space is nice too, if the weather’s being British, especially if you’ve got a bowl of hearty lamb massaman in front of you. The Thai menu spans noodles and satay—and everything is pretty good." - rianne shlebak
