Phuket Restaurants and Dining

Where and What to Eat in Phuket

 If you love food, you will love Phuket. There are restaurants to suit every taste serving a huge selection of western and Asian food. The variety of cuisine and dining experiences is one of the major attractions of the island. You can eat breakfast at your hotel, lunch at a local noodle stall by the roadside, and have dinner with fine wines in a sophisticated air-conditioned restaurant.

Fancy a snack in between? One of the wonderful characteristics of Thailand is the reverence for food and eating, so you can eat at almost any time of the day. Tropical fruit, banana fritters, barbecue chicken and sticky rice? It's all here... (try out TOP 10!)

While Thai food is renowned world-wide for its wonderful flavours and fresh ingredients, Phuket is especially famous for its seafood, and, you don't have to empty your bank account to enjoy the most sumptuous of dishes. Browse through our location and food guides, or go straight to our handy Restaurant Reviews Guide with contact details and reviews of restaurants all over the island. If you'd like to learn about Thai cooking, check out the information about schools which offer short courses.

Featured Restaurants

Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante

Romantic, sophisticated but yet comfortably casual is Da Maurizio Bar Ristorante. The contemporary Italian cuisine combined with the traditional Italian flair is exceptional which is why it has won many awards including yearly appearances in Thailand Tatler's Best Restaurant Guide.

Da Maurizio continually strives to create new and exciting dishes using only the best local and imported ingredients. Enter down sandstone stairs through tropical gardens to tables only a few feet above the sand.

Baan Rim Pa

The restaurant wins awards year in and year out. In 2009 it was listed in the Asian Miele Restaurant Guide and has been awarded Wine Spectator Award of Excellence consecutively since 2002. The Royal Thai cuisine is designed to suit all tastes from those who like hot and spicy to those who want it mild and tasty using only top quality local seafood and ingredients. The spectacular water views, the Piano Bar, the fabulous wines and exceptional Thai cuisine make Baan Rim Pa “Simply the finest in the Kingdom”.

JOES Downstairs

The location alone brings guests to Joes for their well-known cocktails, cold beer or glass of wine from the extensive selection and sampling the excellent New World cuisine by award winning Executive Chef Aaron Hooper. The stunning white interior with NEW decking out across the rocks almost to the water’s edge offers something unique. Located between Baan Rim Pa and Da Maurizio, Joe’s Downstairs - winner of the 2008-2010 HAPA best casual dining restaurant – Asia award, is not to be missed.
