Surin Beach Restaurants

Catch Beach Club

Catch club is one of the most innovative restaurants on the island when it comes to décor. The club has several sections: the beachside al fresco part features boardwalk wooden floors, comfortable sofas and cushions, large parasols and vases, lots of canvas to keep off the sun and rows of recently planted palms. To the side, next to a blue under-lit bar is a gas flame gushing out of a purpose-built hole in the floor. Groovy? You bet. Prices are on the expensive side. Read More...

Cudos

Cudos restaurant in the Surin Beach/ Cherng Talay area is remarkable. Most new restaurants in Phuket experience teething troubles either in the kitchen, marketing, location or hiring reliable staff. Still, if this is the case at Cudos, on the surface of things it'd be hard to guess that the restaurant has only been open a few months as both its service and ambience suggest a more mature establishment. Cudos is themed on Mediterranean food expertly mixed with local products and as a result the cuisine is not only delectable but healthy and wholesome. Read More...

Ristorante Da Ali

Laem Singh Beach features seven restaurants in high season and three in the low season but Da Ali is the capo di tutti capi of these beachside affairs. You can tell from the name that there is a strong Italian influence on this beach and indeed several beach workers speak the language, as well as pretty good English.

Before going to visit Da Ali you will have to ask yourself if you can handle a mini workout as to get down to the beach from the Kamala-to-Surin road you will be faced with a steep descent and a heart-pounding, muscle-straining climb up afterwards. Read More...

Location: Laem Singh Beach, on the road between Kamala and Surin beaches.
