Blue Elephant Phuket Cooking School & Restaurant

It was our last night in Phuket and what a great way to end this trip with this highlight dinner! The place is so beautiful and full of little details with decor and the food was superb! We ordered the black garlic avocado scallops as starters and they were so flavourful, we also ordered the massaman lamb and crab curry, both so tasty and good, we also ordered the piña colada, one with alcohol and one without and both were so good! You could taste the coconut in them. To finish off the night, we ordered the famous coconut flan to share and oh my goodness! It was heavenly great! The texture, the flavour, the presentation of the dish, it was amazing! And don’t get me started with the service received from both Erwin and Ben, from the minute we sat down, they were so attentive, friendly and great overall. We couldn’t have a better night to finish this trip, we are sad to go but hopeful to return in the future!

Erwin and Will were very kind to serve our meals and explain each of the course menu. The food was very nice. This place will be especially memorable for me because of the proposal and the great food and flowers and wine and dessert and cute elephant souvenirs that were all part of the event. Also, I recommend you to take pictures around 5:30 in front of the building because the sunshind is beautiful. Nighttime is also beautiful because of the lights outside that remind me of the shooting stars. Overall. it was a very pleasant experience and I really recommend it.

We visited this restaurant with high expectations. The space itself is absolutely stunning, beautifully designed down to the smallest detail, with a very refined and elegant atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and politely. The service included all the formal touches, placing napkins on our laps and constantly checking in to make sure everything was fine. We personally love Thai cuisine and were hoping to experience an interesting or creative interpretation of it. Unfortunately, that was not really the case. The cocktails were quite standard, and while the dishes were fresh and beautifully presented on gorgeous tableware, they were neither particularly generous nor especially memorable. The service was attentive, even beyond attentive, but at times it felt slightly performative and overly polished in a way that did not feel entirely natural. When we asked for the bill, we were first given the server’s name along with a request to rate the restaurant on Google. Only after asking again did we actually receive the check, which made us feel somewhat expected to leave a positive review before even completing the payment process. Overall, while the setting and service are impressive, the experience felt more focused on presentation than on delivering a truly distinctive or authentic culinary journey.
