Mediterranean Restaurant on the Beach Road
Mila Phuket is a Mediterranean restaurant and lounge bar on the beach road in Patong Beach, 350 metres south of Bangla Road. The venue spreads across two floors: an air-conditioned indoor dining room downstairs with banquette seating and pastel tiled floors, and an open-air upper terrace with sea views, hanging swing chairs, low lounge sofas and large pendant lights. It opens daily from 11 am to 3 am, which makes it one of the few places on Patong beach road serving a full Mediterranean menu well past midnight.
The restaurant is halal, the meat sourcing is high-end (Charolais beef, Australian Black Angus, Japanese Wagyu, lamb), and the kitchen also runs a proper pizza oven, a Japanese sushi counter (from 6 pm), and a Thai section. The drinks list is unusually long for a Patong beach road restaurant, with a full wine cellar going from house Chilean Chardonnay to Dom Pérignon and Armand de Brignac.
Mila Phuket calls itself Mediterranean, and the core of the menu reflects that. Starters cover Greek and Levantine ground: hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki and olive tapenade arrive together on the Mediterranean Mezze plate with pizza bread, the falafel comes with yogurt sauce, and the beef kefta is grilled with herbs and spices in the Maghreb style.
The tartare section is where the kitchen flexes a bit. The Mediterranean beef tartare is a knife-cut Charolais fillet with Parmigiano, pine nuts, capers and the usual classical garnish, available as a starter or a main. There is also a salmon tartare with avocado, ginger and lemongrass, a tuna tartare with mango and passion fruit, and a beef tataki cut from Charolais fillet.
The steakhouse section is the most ambitious part of the menu. Cuts include Charolais tenderloin in 200 g or 300 g portions, Australian Black Angus ribeye, a 400 g Charolais T-bone, Charolais beef rib (500 g or 1 kg), Japanese Wagyu ribeye, and a 1 kg imported Charolais tomahawk that needs 40 minutes for medium rare. At the very top sits the Mila Beef Rossini, a 200 g Charolais tenderloin with French foie gras and truffle meat juice.
Pizza, pasta and a sushi counter
The pizza oven turns out 12 versions, including a lobster pizza, a beef pastrami with truffle cream, a pesto verde with burrata, and a mountain cheese with chicken and reblochon. The 50/50 option lets you choose two flavours on one base, which is helpful for couples.
Pasta and risotto run from a fairly standard arrabiata and carbonara through to a linguine with whole lobster and a scallop risotto with truffle. The provençal risotto with confit tomato and confit lemon is the lighter option.
From 6 pm onwards, a Japanese section opens with classic maki, sushi sets, and 19 different maki rolls including a Sakura on fire, Philadelphia, rainbow, and a futomaki deluxe with eel, tuna, crab and red fish roe.
Cocktail program and an extensive wine list
The bar runs two cocktail tiers. The classic cocktails are at 295 baht and cover the usual list (mojito, negroni, espresso martini, mai tai, margarita). The signature cocktail tier sits at 1,060 baht and uses premium spirits: Belvedere, Grey Goose, Hennessy VSOP, Glenlivet, Havana 7. There is also a long gin section with Sabatini, Beefeater Pink, Malfy and a Lady Trieu citrus tea, plus Lillet and Aperol options.
The wine list is one of the broader ones on Patong Beach Road. House wines by the glass start at 240 baht, with bottles from Chile, South Africa, Italy, France, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina. The top of the list includes Catena Malbec, Saint-Émilion, Yalumba The Cigar, and Saga Baron de Rothschild Lafite. Champagne goes from Fleur de France at 1,190 baht up through Veuve Clicquot, Dom Pérignon and Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades.
The upper terrace at sunset
The rooftop lounge is the part of Mila Phuket that most people photograph. Pink and purple lighting wraps the bamboo-fringed ceiling, hanging swing chairs face the sea, and low sofas with striped cushions form clusters around onyx-topped coffee tables. The bar runs along the back wall, and the front edge is glass-railed, opening directly onto the trees and the beach beyond. It is set up for late-night drinks rather than full dinner service, though the food menu runs throughout.
The indoor dining room downstairs is a different mood: deep blue velvet banquettes, live-edge wooden tables, dried pampas grass in vases, patterned cement tiles on the floor, and a stone-clad feature wall. This is the quieter side for a proper meal.
Breakfast on the beach road
One thing worth mentioning is that Mila Phuket serves a real breakfast menu, which is rare for a sit-down Mediterranean restaurant on Patong Beach Road. Options run from a Mediterranean breakfast with beef kefta and chicken sausages, to a Nordic plate with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, an omelette breakfast, a veggie breakfast with falafel and hummus, and a simple homemade sourdough plate with Camembert and butter.
