Phuket Restaurants: where and what to eat in Phuket


Phuket restaurants serve all kinds of cuisine but finding real Thai food can be a little challenging. The large majority of the restaurants in the island’s tourist areas, such as Patong Beach, Kata or Karon, have been adjusting their tastes to accommodate first-timers. You probably would never see Thai people eating in those places, and it’s usually a sign. Real Thai food is often found in more modest areas of Phuket, and we list some great Local Thai Restaurants here. Phuket Seafood is also famous, and you should try the real thing without paying a fortune by checking out our Best Local Seafood Restaurants list.

      El Gaucho at Velaa Sindhorn Village

      El Gaucho Langsuan

        El Gaucho is well known in Bangkok as the main restaurant in Sukhumvit, next to Terminal 21 Shopping Mall. This new branch has only one vast room because of the high price. The choice of cuts is immense and maybe a bit intimidating at first, so if you are unfamiliar, don’t start with the most expensive meats; it can build up very fast. Side dishes are also surprisingly expensive.

          HOPPE Coffeehouse
