Coconut Seafood Restaurant

We ate at Coconut Seafood pretty much every night for 10 nights, which says everything really. The food was amazing, always fresh and full of flavour, and the atmosphere was incredible, especially in the evenings with the beautiful view looking out over the bay. Nothing was ever too much trouble — everything is cooked fresh and made with real care. One of the highlights for me personally was being invited into the kitchen to learn how to make proper Pad Thai. Not only did they show me step by step, they even gave me the sauces to take home, which was such a lovely and unexpected touch. Our children were treated unbelievably well — it’s a genuinely family-run business, and you can feel how much they care about their customers. They made us feel welcome from the very first visit and by the end of our stay felt more like friends than staff. If you’re visiting Phuket, this place is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Located right on the beachfront Coconut Seafood Restaurant is an ideal island setting for an evening meal. We tried three mains, a prawn noodle, spicy seafood, chicken tom yum and the Thai fish cakes for starters. All of the mains were flavoursome and generally well balanced, the only criticism being they could have held back a little on the salt. The fish cakes were huge, and delicious, probably the best we've had in Phuket. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. For three mains, one starter, a jasmine rice, one fresh coconut and four small Chang beers we paid around 1500 baht, relatively expensive for Phuket but quite reasonable considering its quite a remote area. Prices at the two resorts on the island would be considerably more. If you are staying on Coconut Island a visit here is highly recommended.

I ate here every day during my stay in Phuket and it was absolutely amazing! The Pad Thai was the best I’ve ever had. I’m not a fan of spicy food, and they really respected that — they served me a wonderful, perfectly balanced Pad Thai. I also tried the mango sticky rice, and it was spectacular! The atmosphere is incredible and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place!
