Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 5 October 2026.
This page answers one question: where can you sit down to Thai food around Montmorency, and what does each place say about how it works? Three restaurants had enough on the public record for us to list them, and only one of the three, Na Songkhla, has a Montmorency address. The other two are neighbours: Suwan Thai Restaurant in Lower Plenty and Nongkhai Thai Eltham in Eltham.
None of the three put a readable menu with prices in front of us, so this page does not decode dishes or quote prices. What it does is decode the practical wording: what “BYO (wine only)” means for your table, which night a kitchen is closed, and which listing says what. Each line says whose words it is.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| A Thai restaurant with a Montmorency address; AGFG tags it “Child Friendly” and “Takeaway” | Na Songkhla | 40 Were Street, Montmorency |
| A site that gives the opening times, a booking number and a note on parking | Suwan Thai Restaurant | 82 Main Road, Lower Plenty |
| A licensed, BYO restaurant that also lists delivery on AGFG | Nongkhai Thai Eltham | 931 Main Road, Eltham |
Na Songkhla — 40 Were Street, Montmorency VIC 3094
Two directories, OpenStreetMap and the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG), agree that Na Songkhla is at 40 Were Street, Montmorency; AGFG lists it as “Na Song Khla Thai Restaurant”. AGFG tags it “Takeaway”, “Child Friendly” and “Functions”. We could not read an own website for it, and the directories disagree on its opening times, so we print none. Ring ahead before you travel.
Decoder: “Functions” is an AGFG listing tag, not the restaurant’s own words, so ask about group numbers and set menus when you call.
Suwan Thai Restaurant — 82 Main Road, Lower Plenty VIC 3093
Suwan’s own site, suwanthai.com, gives the address as 82 Main Road, Lower Plenty. It says the restaurant is open “TUESDAY TO SUNDAY FROM 5.30PM FOR TAKEAWAY FROM 6.00PM FOR DINE-IN”, so the takeaway counter starts before the dining room. The site also says “We are Fully Licensed and BYO (Wine only )” and “Parking is available in the carpark next door.” For bookings it prints “(03) 9432 0295”. AGFG tags it “Vegan Options” and “Child Friendly”.
The takeaway and dine-in menus on the site are scanned images, which we could not read as text, so no dishes or prices appear here. The site shows a notice reading “PRICE INCREASE EFFECTIVE FROM 2-12-2025”, so treat any older price you see elsewhere as out of date.
How to order: book through the number the site prints, and arrive from 6.00pm if you want to sit down, because that is the dine-in start the site gives.
Nongkhai Thai Eltham — 931 Main Road, Eltham VIC 3095
Nongkhai’s own site lists 931 Main Road, Eltham, and says “DINE IN AND TAKE AWAY ARE AVAILABLE 6 DAYS A WEEK. LICENSED AND BYO (WINE ONLY). CLOSED TUESDAY.” It describes “traditional Thai cooking that all the family can enjoy”. AGFG tags the restaurant “Delivery”.
The site prints no opening times beyond the Tuesday closure, and AGFG’s seven-day hours conflict with it, so we print no hours. We found no menu to read, and the site carries no date, so confirm details by phone before you go.
Menu says: the site’s own words are “traditional Thai cooking that all the family can enjoy”, which is a description of the food and not a list of dishes.
Quick answers
Is there Thai food in Montmorency itself?
Na Songkhla, at 40 Were Street, is the only one of the three with a Montmorency address. Suwan Thai Restaurant is in Lower Plenty and Nongkhai Thai Eltham is in Eltham.
Which of these Thai restaurants are BYO?
Suwan’s site says “We are Fully Licensed and BYO (Wine only )”, and Nongkhai’s says “LICENSED AND BYO (WINE ONLY).” In both cases the wording means wine only: the restaurants say they are licensed, and the BYO allowance they state is for wine. We could not confirm BYO for Na Songkhla with the restaurant itself, so ask when you book.
Which one is closed on Tuesdays?
Nongkhai’s site says “CLOSED TUESDAY”. Suwan’s site says it is open “TUESDAY TO SUNDAY”, so it is the other way round there. We have no confirmed hours for Na Songkhla.
Can I get Thai takeaway from these places?
AGFG tags Na Songkhla “Takeaway”. Suwan’s site says it is open “TUESDAY TO SUNDAY FROM 5.30PM FOR TAKEAWAY”. Nongkhai’s site says “DINE IN AND TAKE AWAY ARE AVAILABLE 6 DAYS A WEEK.” AGFG also tags Nongkhai “Delivery”.
How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 5 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide and the places’ own websites. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
