Best Thai restaurant

Patrons of Brown Sugar Café tend to proselytize, offering testimonials about the first time they discovered the place and how it changed their dining lives. They eagerly steer the uninitiated to the country-style pad Thai for the most transcendent version of this classic dish. Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike are lured by a menu of intense curries, crispy vegetables, and diverse entrées. Whether you want the caramelized richness of duck or the spicy sweetness of mango curry, something here is sure to win you over. Once you've had Thai this way, you'll never forget it - and you're likely to recruit a few converts yourself.

Brown Sugar Café, 129 Jersey Street, Boston, (617) 266-2928; 1033 Comm Ave, Boston, (617) 787-4242.
