Than et Luc - Eltville am Rhein

Pleasant light food served (weather permit) on breezy back terrace. Fun fruit drinks, good menu, nice wine / beer, friendly and efficient service.

Lunch here with my husband on the recommendation of a friend. We sat fast and drank orders quickly. The menu turned out to be disappointing, as I hoped for a large Asian salad of a kind no big salads and... a limited number of other options. The waitress recognized our poor Germans as origins in the USA and helped us to place our orders. I had a citrus soda drink and coconut vegetables with shrimps while my husband had diet coke and green curry. The food was delivered quickly at the perfect temperature. My husband said the green curry was sharp and wonderful, while my dish was a bit milder, but also tasteful. We enjoyed, but a bit disappointed about the selection we were offered. Not sure we're back or not.

Our trip this year to Etville At the Rhine was extra memorable, because we met with great people and had an authentic food...and a place we discovered was Than et Luc... a boutique Thai vetnamese joint in the center of the main shopping street in this area. It was so good..we almot had 1 meal a day there. The most outstanding thing we never ordered was the Thai Duck Curry and the Vietnamese Pho (a special Oreworm needed 24 to 48 Pre Order) and this unique wrapped vegetable snack with beef - a healthy beef roll.... That was for... The prices were reasonable and the portions were sisable and what made it a Tad Extra was the owner and host woman Than always made us feel at home, although we miles away with her candor and her humility and attention to details and our preferences. We just can't thank her enough that we are happy to feed back in 2018. We updated on their FB page and they are to a larger and rustic place (a former vintage hotel) just a few minutes walk from their previous location and this new place offers... Can wait!

Far cry from authentic, 80 Euro for 3, with only 2 appetizers and 3 entree, 3 non-alcohol drinks. The summer rolls and the entree were laden with cilantro, at least it could be picked out of the entree.A little for adding to flavor, ok, but it was so laden it dominated to point the other flavors were over powered. I'd make the trip to Wiesbaden and go for Thai.

It can be so simple and so yummy. Just take good ingredients and give them the touch of the cuisine of your home country. Combine it with great service, a central location and you will have success.Than et Luc have done all this and the sum is delicious Vietnamese food. If you want fried rice or noodles you will be at the wrong spot, instead they combine seasonal ingredients with a changing menu.Prices are reasonable and in summer you can sit outside.
