Nam Song

Nam Song is the big orange place with all the lanterns that you can't miss on Broomhill high street.

In the evening the lanterns dim and we turn into a unique restaurant serving up noodles, curries and cocktails. The main question though is do you want to sit on traditional tables and chairs or do you fancy trying our famous floor cushioned seating area?
