This successful Bangkok-based restaurant has two branches in Pattaya. One is on the beachfront, but we prefer the one at Jungceylon Mall (ground level). If possible, grab a table inside rather than on the terrace.

A combination of a restaurant, wine shop, bar & deli. Wine Connection serves a wide range of Western dishes – gourmet salads, steaks, pastas, pizzas, imported cheeses, grilled seafood, and a good selection of reasonably priced (by Thai standards) wine.

Patong Corner Restaurant offers reasonably priced Thai and European food, located on the ground floor terrace of My Hotel Phuket overlooking a quiet side street, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the gay bars in the Paradise Complex.

We visited this place twice in December 2015. The restaurant was popular with gay customers, served tasty food, and the service was fast and friendly.

For a great selection of freshly prepared, excellent-value Thai street food, fresh fruit and tasty desserts, try Malin Plaza, right on the edge of Patong Town (just beyond Club One Seven).

There really is something for everyone here. As you can see, TGA’s Toon just loved the small coconuts. 🙂 Malin Plaza is about a 15-minute walk from Bangla Street. Open every evening.

Up for some Italian food? Ristorante Roma da Mauro serves the best pizzas in Phuket and a nice menu of authentic, home-cooked Italian meals. Very friendly owner and staff, too.

Located in Patong, close to the gay scene in case you want to go out after dinner.

Stylish rooftop restaurant and bar overlooking Patong bay, located at La Flora Resort Patong.

The Surface serves freshly grilled seafood and meat dishes and a great selection of beverages. Go early for a cocktail and watch the breathtaking sunset and the last few guys on the beach.

Fabulous Thai food served in a contemporary-styled setting, with double-height space at Twinpalms Phuket.

Oriental Spoon has an extensive cocktail list. If you dare, ask for the food to be cooked spicy. Reservation is essential – a few days in advance during peak season.

Chic, Mediterranean ambiance. White Box serves Italian food fused with Thai flare and spice. The laid-back, chill-out music in the background accompanies your dinner, with the sound of waves from the beach with upbeat music later from the rooftop bar.

Efficient service, friendly staff. Reservations are advised.

A fairly new addition to Phuket’s fine dining scene. The Blue Mango offers great food, attentive service and reasonable prices.

At first glance, the menu might appear basic, featuring a selection of standard Thai and Italian dishes from Pad Thai to pasta and pizzas, along with a few exotic dishes for good measure. But the quality of the ingredients, taste and quite extraordinary presentation is all first-rate.

Located within the Twin Sands Resort, just 10 minutes by taxi south from Patong beach. The restaurant provides a free taxi pickup service from the Patong area.

Highly recommended, upscale Thai restaurant in Phuket serving fresh and elegant-looking dishes with authentic flavours.

Suay’s menu is unique, and the food is well presented and reasonably priced (although the portions are a bit small). Cocktails, beer, wine and other non-alcoholic drinks are available.
