A new Thai restaurant has opened its door in Leeds.

Rambuttri, in Munro House, welcomed its first customers last Thursday, June 20.

It is the second venture in Leeds for owner and chef Komgree Santatkollakarn, better known as Guy, who also owns Phranakhon in York Place.

But this venue is designed to complement the other site, which opened in 2019, and offers more than just tapas dishes.
