Three Monkeys Restaurant

4.5(15,430 reviews)$$$$

The building is the reason most people come. It's a multi-level, open-air structure built to look like a small village up in the jungle canopy, with seating at different heights and live acoustic music playing through the evening. There's a private section called Monkey Hill, up the stairs from one of the main dining areas, which is where you want to be for a birthday or an anniversary. They run packages for those, and reviewers who booked one seem genuinely surprised by how much effort the staff put in, dancing included.

Food-wise, the praise is steady: fresh, well-seasoned, plated with care, and the cocktails get their own mentions. Prices sit at the upscale end for Phuket, though plenty of diners reckon they're fair for what arrives. Where things wobble is service under pressure. One reviewer described wandering the levels looking for signage and waiting to be noticed before ordering. Flag down a waiter early and you'll be fine.

We had the most amazing experience at Three Monkeys Phuket! From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The food was absolutely incredible — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and atmosphere, which made the experience even better. The drinks were just as impressive — creative, refreshing, and perfectly made. We chose the anniversary package, and it truly exceeded our expectations. I received the most beautiful flowers along with a bottle of prosecco, which made the evening feel so romantic and thoughtful. The whole setup was stunning and created such a memorable celebration for us. A special thank you to our waitress, Rena, who was so attentive and friendly throughout the evening. She made sure everything was perfect and really added to the overall experience with her warm and welcoming service. Highly recommend Three Monkeys Phuket for a special occasion or even just a lovely night out!

Had such a lovely experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. Every dish was prepared really well and you can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking. The atmosphere was also great. A special thank you to Jerry who provided amazing service throughout the visit. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect for us. Staff like Jerry really make the dining experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

I have chosen this restaurant for 60th celebration of my friend parents. The entrance atmosphere was nice. You have to get online registration before getting the table. After getting queue number you have to proceed for your area. I didnot see any signs of area, so we have to ask staff few times until we were lead to our table. When we sit, there was online menu, we try to choose the food and wanted to order, however no waiter come to us. Than I have called the waiter and she looked at us..oh, you dont have menu..like seriously, after around 10 min, we were not brought menus yet. Okay, they brought menu, it was different from online that we were looking at before. Time to order..how to call waiter, noone come again to take an order. If the staff is busy or not attentive, but make some button on the table, so customers can ring and dont want so long. Waiter took an order, the food arrived. Nothing so special unfortunately, I were in places with more delicious food. Burger meat was overdry, the salmon was good. But here the original prices didnot include vat and service charge. I also mentioned that one of guest have birthday, she took a photo of passport, but when another server came, I have to inform again. There was no attention to guest table details from server side (probably becuase different people serve and dont pass info to each other). Atmosphere in general in restaurant was very nice, life band (lady singing much better than man by the way), some drum performance. Time to have some surprise for birthday, I went to staff directly and he showed me menu with cakes. I said that I dont need big cake, just small complimentary one. He said, if like this, so need to go to another fridge and choose free desert. I said just any chocolate. The birthday performance was nice, and birthday guy liked it. However as the organizer of this event for him I can say that service was pretty poor for us at that day.

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.
