Best Restaurants in Phuket (2026)

Phuket has one of the most interesting food scenes in Thailand, shaped by Thai, Hokkien Chinese and Baba Peranakan traditions, and it is well represented in the MICHELIN Guide. Phuket Town is the place to start. Raya Restaurant, One Chun and Tu Kab Khao serve Phuket home cooking in old Sino-Portuguese buildings, and all three are known for crab curry eaten with rice noodles; Raya and One Chun also serve Moo Hong, the island's braised pork. Blue Elephant Phuket offers a smarter setting in a restored mansion on Krabi Road with a Peranakan menu.

Some of the island's best cooking is very cheap. Roti Chaofa serves crisp roti with beef curry for breakfast, and Go Benz is a late-night Bib Gourmand stop for crispy pork rice; both are cash only and closed on Mondays. Seafood lovers can take a short longtail ride to Kruvit Raft off Ban Laem Hin. For special occasions, PRU at Trisara holds a Michelin star, L'Arôme by the Sea serves a French tasting menu above Kalim Beach, and Suay Cherngtalay gives Thai flavours a contemporary twist near Bang Tao. Book the upmarket places well ahead in high season, and ask staff about spice levels if you prefer milder food.
