Restaurants

European Fusion · ★ 4.7

Stylish Phuket Town bistro in a century-old shophouse serving creative European-Asian fusion cuisine. The signature duck confit with kaffir lime jus and the hand-rolled pasta with sea urchin are not to be missed. Excellent wine list and craft cocktails.

Fine Dining · ★ 4.9

Considered the finest fine-dining address in Phuket, perched on the Kata Noi cliffs with a sweeping view of three bays. The tasting menu showcases the best of Thai and European techniques using premium local ingredients. Voted one of Asia's best restaurants.

International / Beach Club · ★ 4.6

Phuket's most glamorous beach club on the shores of Bang Tao. Sun-loungers on the sand, an overwater infinity pool, DJ sets every afternoon, and an international menu spanning stone-baked pizzas, sashimi platters, and weekend brunch. The place to see and be seen.

Thai · ★ 4.8

A beloved institution among Phuket Town locals serving exceptionally authentic southern Thai home cooking. The massaman curry slow-cooked for six hours and the tangy green papaya salad are benchmarks of the cuisine. Arrive early — it often sells out by noon.

Thai Eclectic · ★ 4.8

Phuket's most legendary restaurant and spontaneous party venue in a colourful Old Town shophouse. The eclectic Thai menu is outstanding, but guests come as much for the surprise cabaret shows and dancing that break out mid-dinner. Advance reservations essential.

Vegetarian / Vegan · ★ 4.5

Charming plant-based café in Rawai village specialising in vegan and vegetarian interpretations of Thai and global dishes. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with organic local produce. Famous for the jackfruit massaman and raw mango cheesecake.

Seafood · ★ 4.6

The freshest seafood on the island, chosen directly from the fishermen's boats at Rawai Pier. Pick your live lobster, tiger prawns, or barramundi, then have it grilled, steamed, or fried in your choice of sauce at the adjacent open-air kitchen. Wonderfully casual.

Thai / International · ★ 4.7

Romantic open-air restaurant at SALA Phuket Resort on Mai Khao's wild northern beach. Tables on the sand, crashing waves, and an exceptional menu of fresh seafood, Thai classics, and international cuisine. The sunset BBQ buffet on Fridays is unmissable.

Italian · ★ 4.7

Patong's finest Italian restaurant run by Sicilian owner Salvatore for over 20 years. House-made pasta, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, and imported Italian wines in an intimate trattoria setting. The tiramisu made to Salvatore's grandmother's recipe is worth the trip alone.

Thai Fine Dining · ★ 4.8

Award-winning Thai contemporary restaurant in a restored colonial house in Phuket Town. Chef Tammasak Chootong's menu celebrates southern Thai flavours with refined technique. The deep-south crab curry and grilled river prawn are legendary. Book ahead — tables fill fast.
