About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
In Thailand, food forms a central part of any social occasions—and vice versa. That is, food often becomes the social occasion in itself, or reason to celebrate. This is partly due to the friendly, social nature of Thai people, but also because of the way in which food is ordered and eaten in Thailand.

Co-owner Vatinee Schumann is an experienced Chef. She was born in Koh Samui*, Thailand, and in addition to a range of well known Thai dishes has brought with her some special regional dishes from this area. She has lived in Australia for many years and worked in well known Melbourne Thai restaurants.

Gerd Schumann is no Chef but as husband and co-owner has physically built the Leelavadee restaurant and manages its business. He and Vatinee travel frequently to Thailand and keep up to date with Thai cuisine.

    The food and service was very good, the green curry was amazingly flavoursome. They might consider some background music and slightly subdued lighting to add to the ambiance.

    We all had a fantastic night and the food was excellent.... service was great with very friendly staff. Highly recommended . I have been there many times.. Great with a small group (6-8 of us) or equally enjoyable with your favorite person.... (and also important, very reasonably priced meals)
