A love story that began on an elephant in Thailand and grew into one of Canada’s most influential restaurant empires.

Join Chef Nuit Regular and her husband and business partner, Jeff Regular, as they travel from Toronto to Oliver Farms for the 2026 Asian Fire Feast.

Born and raised in Phrae, Northern Thailand, Nuit learned to cook alongside her mother before training as a nurse and meeting Jeff. After moving to Canada, the couple built a wildly successful family of restaurants, including PAI, Kiin, Sukhothai, Chaiyo, Thai Tavern and Makilala.

Through her Michelin Guide-recommended restaurants and bestselling cookbook, Kiin, Nuit has become one of the country’s leading champions of regional Thai cuisine. Jeff, who proudly calls himself “Nuit’s husband,” is the Filipino-Canadian restaurateur and creative force behind their hospitality empire and Makilala, a deeply personal celebration of his family’s recipes, culture and joyful barangay spirit.

What a weekend. 🇹🇭❤️
Thai Fest reminded us of something we’ve always believed: food is so much more than what’s on the plate. It’s a way of sharing who we are.
To see so many of you come together—to eat, drink, play, dance, laugh, and experience Thai culture with such openness and joy—meant more to us than we can put into words.
At PAI and Thai Tavern, what we love most has always been simple: serving good food and bringing people together.This weekend, we got to watch that happen all around us. From plates being passed across tables and cold Singha enjoyed in the Thai Tavern Beer Garden, to dancing, games, conversations and discovering a little more about Thailand—these are the moments that stay with us. ✨
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for celebrating with us. Thank you for loving PAI, Thai Tavern, and the culture that inspires everything we do. And most of all, thank you for loving Thailand. 🇹🇭
A huge thank you to DoorDash Canada and singha for helping bring the Thai Tavern Beer Garden to life, and to Tourism Authority of Thailand for giving Chef Nuit the opportunity to take the stage and share a piece of Thailand through her cooking. 🍜❤️
Until next time, Toronto. 🙏🇹🇭

MISSISSAUGA, WE’RE COMING HOME! 💜

What people say

Thai restaurants are known for their bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and unique dishes. And when it comes to Thai cuisine in Toronto, Pai is a name that stands out. Located on Duncan Street, Pai Toronto offers an authentic taste of Northern Thailand with a modern twist.

One thing that sets Pai apart is their commitment to innovation. Chef Nuit and her team are constantly experimenting with new ingredients and techniques to bring exciting new flavors to the table. For example, they recently updated their green curry recipe to include fresh chayote and kabocha squash instead of the traditional bamboo shoots. The result? A deliciously unique take on a classic dish.

But Pai isn't just about pushing culinary boundaries - they also know how to keep things traditional. Just ask Toronto Maple Leafs player , who recently enjoyed a traditional Thai brunch at Kiin Cafe (another restaurant owned by Chef Nuit).

And if you're looking for something truly special, keep an eye out for Pai's exclusive collaborations with other local businesses. They recently teamed up with for a limited-time menu that was sure to delight foodies across the city.

But at the end of the day, what really makes Pai stand out is the passion and dedication of its owner and staff. Chef Nuit's upbringing in Northern Thailand shines through in every dish she creates, and her love for food is contagious. Whether you're a longtime fan or trying Thai cuisine for the first time, Pai Toronto is not to be missed.
