Best Restaurants & Food in Phuket
120 places found in Phuket
Phuket's dining scene punches well above its weight for a beach resort island. Phuket Town's Old Town quarter has emerged as the island's most exciting food destination — shophouse restaurants serving Hokkien-influenced Peranakan dishes (mee hokkien, o-tao, lor bak) alongside trendy cafes and natural wine bars.

About restaurants & food in Phuket
The Sunday Walking Street through the Old Town is as much a food event as a market.
Patong and the main beach areas have the widest range of international restaurants catering to tourists, but the best Thai food is invariably found away from the beach strips. Rawai's seafood pier lets you buy fresh catch and have nearby restaurants cook it to order — one of Phuket's most authentic dining experiences. For upscale dining, the cliff-top and beachfront restaurants in Kamala and Surin serve modern Thai and international cuisine with views to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best area to eat in Phuket?
Phuket Town's Old Town is the best all-round dining area — authentic Phuket cuisine, great cafes, and competitive prices. Rawai seafood pier is unmissable for fresh seafood. Kamala and Surin have the best upscale restaurants. Patong has the most variety but also the most tourist traps.
What is Phuket's signature dish?
Mee hokkien (Hokkien-style stir-fried noodles) is the local specialty, reflecting Phuket's strong Chinese heritage. O-tao (oyster omelet) and lor bak (five-spice pork) are other Phuket-specific dishes. These are found in the Old Town and Thalang Road area, not tourist restaurants.
Is Phuket Town better for food than the beach areas?
Generally yes. Phuket Town has more authentic local restaurants, better prices, and a stronger food culture. The Old Town has become a destination in its own right for food. That said, beach areas like Rawai (seafood) and Kamala (upscale dining) have their own strengths.
