L'Arôme by the sea

I decided very last minute to make reservations for this restaurant while I was in Phuket to take myself on a solo birthday dinner. And i’m so glad I did! The location is gorgeous, and it definitely contributed to the overall experience and atmosphere. From the very beginning the dining experience felt incredibly personal; from the greeting, the menu, and the birthday card they provided. Overall, the food delightful; the flavors of each one came across really well. My favorites were the bluefin tuna chutoro, the japanese red snapper (the crispy skin was perfectly cooked!), and the flavor of the mango chutney. I think my only critique of the service was some of the servers still had trouble articulating some of the parts of the menu; but that didn’t take away from my experience at all. I didn’t do the wine pairing, and looking back, I wish I did. Definitely a pricier option In Phuket, but it was well worth it for me!

The view for the sunset over Patong beach is breathtaking at the rooftop bar. The Degustation Menu was phenomenal, especially with the wine pairing. All of the dishes are unique. The dinner starts off strong with the Brown Crab and does not falter by dessert - the Goat Yoghurt is a must-try. The staff were all very professional and know all about each dish being served. They were also very accommodating, eager for feedback on each dish, and wonderful to talk to. There is no doubt everyone at L’Arome by the sea is devoted to providing the best dining experience in Phuket.

Easily one of the best culinary experiences we have had. Marco, the sommelier was exceptional with his explanation of the stunning cocktails. It was our anniversary and there were well thought through personal touches. Our last evening in Phuket could not have been any better. A Austo-French Kaiseki with clear Thai notes.
