Its a casual, traditional restaurant that’s been delighting local diners with its authentic eats since first setting up shop five years ago. Plenty of familiar dishes populate its menu from chicken satay skewers to Thai green curry, but for a real taste of what Thai Kitchen is all about opt for a house special like the spicy roasted basil duck with bell peppers, green beans and onions or pottery shrimp (shrimp baked in a clay pot with silver noodles, ginger, cabbage and celery).

In a little over a year Passione Pane, a casual little joint cooking up wood oven-fired pizzas and breads, has become one of Fishers’ most raved about restaurants. Its menu is concise but bound to tempt any fan of classic Italian fare with pizzas ranging from the Contadina (made with potatoes, rosemary and homemade sausage) to the Valtellinese (topped with bresaola, fresh arugula, parmesan cheese and walnuts), served alongside rustic focaccia bread and sides including bruschetta, salad and soup.
