We had such a wonderful dining experience at Vela. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious โ full of flavour and beautifully presented. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly balanced and refreshing. A huge thank you to the team for the thoughtful birthday surprise. It truly made both my partner and me feel so special and well looked after. The service was outstanding: attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Our food came out quickly without feeling rushed at all. Highly recommend Vela for a special occasion or a memorable night out. Weโll definitely be back!
Iโm from Toronto which is pretty well-known for diverse cuisine, but omg this place is the best Thai food Iโve ever had! Food was so good we came here for dinner AND again for lunch the next day. Please donโt leave Brisbane without checking this place out!!๐ Forget the regular pad thai or rice (although also good), try their fusion dishes like the salted egg yolk squid, and the duck in lychee-based curry๐ค
We had a wonderful dining experience at Vela. The environment is beautiful with a great atmosphere, and the food came out surprisingly fast even though the restaurant was busy. Everything we ordered was delicious โ from the food to the mocktails, nothing disappointed. The dishes were well-balanced, flavours were on point, and the drinks were refreshing. Itโs also very family-friendly, which we really appreciated. Overall, a great place for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommended, and weโll definitely be coming back!
