Phuket restaurants that the locals love

These Phuket restaurants offer the best local dining experiences on the island, both in terms of their authentic flavours and popularity. You’ll discover the best seafood at humble establishments such as Ang Seafod and Mor Modung, as well as at more premium restaurants like the iconic Kan Eang and the crustacean-centric Crab House. Vegetarians can choose from the fresh Asian fare at Chanya Healthy Cuisine and the soybean delicacies at Dok Bua Vegetarian Restaurant. Family-run restaurants such as JJ’s Bar &Food (surrounded by a forest), the Recycle (decorated with used items) and Raya Thai Cuisine (situated in a Sino-Portuguese house) offer some of the most memorable Thai meals in Phuket. Don’t forget to stop at Nikita’s one of Phuket’s few remaining beach bars.
