An iconic restaurant in Phuket Town
Natural Restaurant Phuket looks at first a bit confusing. Locally known as โTamachart Restaurantโ it has been a long-time favourite for many Thai and expats. It might not be as good as it used to be, but it is still a great place for dinner or a drink in Phuket Town.
This huge open house with a wooden roof, set in the middle of town, is almost unnoticeable when driving through Phutorn road (near Jui Tui Shrine). From the outside, it looks rather small unless you step a bit away from it to apprehend its full size. Then, the next thing youโll notice is the decoration.
Made of bits and pieces, full of plants, greenery and waterfalls, discarded bicycles, computers converted into aquariums, radios, fishing equipment and old toys, it comes all together in a charming and fun fashion. Donโt stop at the decorationโฆ explore! Upstairs is even more surprising. The restaurant seems to have grown over the years like a plant on a wall: terraces, stairways and balconies grew in all directions. It is definitely a surprising restaurant and feels like a giant treehouse in the middle of a concrete jungle.
