Phuket is renowned for its exceptional Thai and International cuisine, with an abundance of restaurants catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you prefer a laid-back beachfront eatery or a luxurious fine dining experience, Phuket has something for everyone. Many of these restaurants have stood the test of time, thriving for over a decade. If you’re a frequent visitor to Phuket, you’ll know the joy of returning to your favorite restaurant time and time again. To help you navigate the culinary scene, we’ve compiled a list of 11 of the best restaurants in Phuket, as recommended by both our staff and clients at Villa Getaways.

1.PRU

PRU (Plant, Raise, Understand) has retained its Michelin Star for the fifth consecutive year, the only in Phuket, and Michelin Green Star for the third year. It has been recognized as number 61 best restaurant in Asia by Asia’s Best restaurants 2022.
Inspired by the different eco-systems of Thailand, PRU achieves its culinary ambition – to elevate local ingredients to a new level. You can enjoy a 5 or 7 course culinary experience in the beautiful green surrounds of Trisara resort.

2. Silk

Silk Restaurant offers a blend of Thai and Western cuisine and is easily one of the best restaurants in Phuket. The menu includes grilled specialities, impressive seafood platters, and a vast array of vegetarian and vegan delights. If you are visiting Phuket in the Peak Season we recommend attending one of their BBQ evenings. Dine poolside, enjoy the generous buffet while you are entertained by musicians and performers. Silk is part of the Andara resort and villa complex in Kamala Beach.

3. Siam Supper Club

Siam Supper Club is unlike anywhere else in Phuket. Stepping into this restaurant from the palm tree lined streets of Laguna feels like you are entering another world. The dark wood walls, dim lighting and jazz music are such a contrast to the tropical surrounds yet instantly appealing. Once you taste the West Coast cuisine and try their famous cheesecake you will understand why this long serving establishment is still considered one of Phuket’s Best Restaurants.

4. Kalido

One of the greatest pleasures when holidaying in Phuket is to dine by the sea. There are so many seaside restaurants to choose from but Kalido (formerly Palm Seaside) in Bang Tao is one of the best.

Enjoy a fruit cocktail as you look out to the water and enjoy the cool breezes on a balmy evening.

Bocconcino has made the move to a larger and more glamourous venue on Boat Avenue in Bang Tao.
