“The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a star.”
- Jean Anthelme Brillant-Savarin (quote on Orchid Thai menu)
Orchid Thai has been a regular destination for my family ever since my dad tried Pad Thai for the first time on a trip to Poland (but that's another story). Before going vegan, I was a big fan of their curry. Luckily, after going vegan I discovered that this dish, and many others from Orchid Thai, are fully vegan or vegan-upon-request! Chef Sue's daughter is vegan so they have always kept vegans in mind when designing the menu. Read below for our guide to eating vegan at Orchid Thai in Lake Mary and Winter Park!
