After a series of high-profile residencies including TĀTĀ Eatery’s Tóu Sando bar and, long ago, the chef Adejoké Bakare’s Chishuru, next up above the Globe Tavern in Borough Market is Khao Bird, a Thai restaurant with a focus on the food of Chiang Mai in the north of the country.
Marking its first permanent London residency, the concept is the work of Brighton restaurateur Mike Palmer — known for Lucky Khao on the south coast — and head chef Luke Larsson, who underwent regular research trips to the open-air night markets of Thailand.
