MICHELIN Restaurants in Phuket

What restaurants are in the Phuket Michelin Guide?

Having Michelin Restaurants in Phuket since 2019 proves that Phuket has reached a new level on the international culinary stage. The island is evolving fast and in many directions. While it might not always please those who loved it 20 years ago, the island now offers a vast range of experiences. We love Thai food, seafood and great food in general. We frequently travel the world, and food sits high on our travel experience.

We frequently use the Michelin Guide when in Bangkok or overseas, so we are quite familiar with their concept and selection criteria. We might not always agree because taste and experiences are unique to each of us; however, in the vast majority, Michelin is on target. So, since we reviewed and rated many local restaurants in Phuket, we were curious to see how their list would compare to ours, and the result was surprisingly close.

What is the meaning of Stars and Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide?

If you don’t yet know about it, the Phuket Michelin Guide rates restaurants mainly in 2 ways. The stars are the best known, followed by the BIB Gourmands.
By now, you all know that only one restaurant (Pru at Trisara) received a star in the Phuket Michelin Guide, and it was a pretty big deal. But in our mind, the BIBs are more fun because many of them are more authentic, casual and affordable.

What does it take for a restaurant to get Michelin Stars?

Michelin Star – Restaurant Assessment Criteria: Quality of the products, mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in his cuisine, value for money, consistency between visits
Bib Gourmand means a good quality menu for a modest price.

Mee Ton Poe Hokkien Noodles in Phuket Town

Location: Phuket Town

To be precise, Mee Ton Poe has served some of the best-known Hokkien noodles on Phuket island for many years since 1946. It used to be a tiny, modest restaurant at the clock circle in Phuket town where locals and expats would go for a cheap bowl of noodles, and that was it. Good, affordable and super casual.

Ta Tuay Restaurant ✓ BIB

Ta Tuay Michelin Thai Restaurant in Phuket

Location: North Phuket

Ta Tuay is one of the least-known local restaurants in Phuket, and most travellers never heard of it before it received a Bib Gourmand from the well-known Michelin Guide to the Best Restaurants in Phuket. The restaurant is truly hidden, not far from the Sarasin Bridge in the very north of the island. It is so remote that it took us a long time before we took the time to visit it.
