25 Best Restaurants in Patong Beach

Where to Eat in Patong Beach?

There are so many restaurants in Patong Beach; you would think that finding great Thai food would be easy. But if you know Thailand, you soon will realise that too many of them serve a toned-down version of Thai cuisine or something very far from local food. We understand and respect that many travellers are new to Thai food and might lack the experience to compare.

We have lived in Thailand for 28 years, and we are very passionate about Thai food, so we might sound a little harsh. We go out there as often as possible, trying new places and restaurants people talk about on social media. So here is our list of the Best Thai and international restaurants to try in Patong. This page keeps growing as we explore and try new restaurants.

7. Kaab Gluay Thai Restaurant

Kaab Gluay Patong

Kaab Kluay is an old-time favourite, run by a local who’s been serving excellent Thai food at the right price for decades. Expats living in Patong know the place very well and often take their guests or customers there for a real Thai dinner. The restaurant is on the outskirt of town, just before the Thai temple you saw when entering Patong, so you probably need a short tuk-tuk ride to get there. The restaurant has an indoor and an outdoor area and is quite big so you won’t need a reservation. Note that it’s by a busy road, so it’s not exactly a romantic dinner. Read more

8. Paan Yaah Seafood

Pan Yaah Restaurant

Paan Yaah is a restaurant with a unique seaside location just outside Patong, past Kalim Beach. It’s a little more upmarket without being expensive (well, everyone has a different perception of what expensive means), and it’s a place for a romantic Thai dinner. The restaurant looks like an old house with dim lighting and candles on the table. It’s now quite popular, so you should book as early as possible if you wish to get a table by the water. Read more

9. No. 9 Restaurant

No9 Restaurant Patong Beach Phuket

Number 9 is a modest Thai restaurant much talked about on social media. The design is not impressive, and the location by the street makes it somewhat anonymous. The menu is long, offering both Thai and European cuisine. We tried it a couple of times, and we liked the Thai food! It’s not toned down unless you ask, and it is tasty as Thai food should be. The setting is comfortable, the restaurant is spotless, and the staff is very friendly. Read more

If you like delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice and you happen to be in Patong Beach, you need to visit Briley, which has been open for more than 20 years now.

18. No.6 in Patong

No.6 Restaurant in Patong Beach

There are two restaurants called No.6, and they are sisters. The original one, simply called No6, is in the very centre of Patong. The second one is named ‘Number 6 up the hill’ and is, as the names imply, on the south hill of Patong. The original one is a bit of a social phenomenon and a fun proof of the belief that ‘if there is a queue, it must be delicious’. So we queued (when the queue wasn’t too long) and had a try. The food is not bad, but the atmosphere and service are inexistent. You will sit shoulder to shoulder with your neighbour, and the staff have no time to be nice to you. So better take advantage of their free shuttle and get a fun ride up the hill. You will get a better view and better sitting. Read more

Location: Ratuthit Songroipi Road, Patong Beach, Kathu, Phuket 83150
Open: 8.30 am – 12 am

19. No.6 on the Hill

No 6 Restaurant Up the Hill in Patong Beach, Phuket

The original and best-known No.6 Restaurant is on Rat-U-Thit Road, not far from Bangla Road, and it’s surprisingly crowded if you consider that the food is quite average. (Sorry if it hurts, but once you know Thai food, you will understand). Read more.
