10 Great Romantic Restaurants in Phuket - Where to go on Valentine's day in Phuket

Valentine's day is almost here! So here is the longest and most expensive page we ever wrote is now ready, we give you the '10 Great Romantic Restaurants in Phuket.' We tried them all, paid our bill like you would, never informed in advance, and never got any special treatment. The ten restaurants listed were among the best dining experiences we had in Phuket. To get ten, we had to try a lot more than ten. Some renown ones were a disappointment (we won't mention their names), some others almost made, it but a little something was just missing. Other disclaimer: this is our selection, we know there are more amazing restaurants to try and worry not, we will try them and add as we discover more gems. You also need to understand that two experiences my differ, you might not enjoy a place as much as we did if your choice of food is different or if something in the air isn't quite right :). However, we are pretty confident that these ten restaurants are great places for a tete a tete. Enjoy!

1 Paresa Kamala Beach Paresa Resort 'Diavolo' was one of the nicest experiences we had lately. Location and setting help a lot in the ranking, but if you happen to also have great food and good service, it is so perfect, you won't forget this night for long time.

3 Da Maurizio Kalim Beach Da Maurizio and its well known 'Italian dinner over the beach with a sunset' is not your everyday Italian restaurant, far from that. It is rather expensive, so keep it for a special occasion, but if like us you enjoy quality food in a great atmosphere, you should dine there at least once.
