Sunlique Rooftop Restaurant

4.7(750 reviews)

Perched above Thanon Kata in Phuket's popular Kata Beach neighbourhood, this rooftop restaurant draws visitors looking to combine quality dining with an elevated perspective over the surrounding landscape. The open-air setting makes it a natural draw around sunset, when the vantage point from the rooftop comes into its own, and the venue's daily hours running from 3pm through to midnight give it genuine versatility — equally suited to an early evening drink, a sit-down dinner, or a late-night wind-down. The atmosphere leans relaxed but considered, with the rooftop format setting it apart from the many ground-level dining options along Kata's main strip. Guests can expect an experience shaped as much by the setting as by what's on the plate, making it a reasonable choice for those who want their meal to come with a view rather than just a table. Good to know: Arriving between 4pm and 5pm is advisable for anyone hoping to catch the sunset from a prime seat, as the rooftop tends to fill during peak evening hours. Given the open-air environment, lightweight and breathable clothing is a practical choice, and sun protection is worth considering for earlier arrivals. Checking the restaurant's website at sunlique.com ahead of time is recommended for groups or special occasions, where a reservation can save a wait.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
