TWO BROTHERS restaurant right
on Surin Beach. Run by a great guy named Bow as in Ow!
"The bakery" at Canal Village in Laguna. As some of you probably
know, this is a small little stand-alone cafe serving excellent cuisine off of
a limited menu (kitchen's not that big!) and the pizza is easily some of the
best I have ever experienced. As a native of a very Italian "suburb"
of Boston and a former resident in Italy for 3 yrs, I can say that without a
doubt it is "world class". I am not sure but would expect that the
pizza at the main Sheraton
Laguna restaurant would be equally good with same recipe, equipment, etc but
don't know frankly because have never dined there. Just be aware that the Canal
Village cafe is only open til 6pm daily so don't plan a dinner there (maybe a
good reason to go to the Sheraton
resto). By the way, excellent cappucinos and FREE WiFi internet access are also
good reasons why I go there (although I got addicted to their pizza long before
the WiFi started).
Silk Restaurant in Surin - expensive, but absolutely magic place to be
Sunday 17 March 2013
Nai Harn
Nok Yoong (somewhere in the
bendy Nai Harn Road)
Oasis BBQ chicken (before Soi Cokmakham)
Lorenzo's in Nai Harn (At the main entrance to the Royal Meridian Yatch Club) Great pizza, great other items too, also great music, although a touch expensive compared to maggies, worth it for the location.
The best Pizza in Thailand is to be had on NaiHarn beach. Owned and operated by an expat Italian guy who learnt from a master Pizza maker in Italy before he moved to Thailand to be with his Thai wife. Called Lorenzo's - looks very downmarket shack in amongst the other restaurants / shops but it really is the bet Pizza. Cooked in authentic stone oven (built himself). Has a tree in the middle going through the roof. Open everday / evening during the season. A bit hit and mis off season

Phuket Town
Karna Sutra in
Phuket Town - Indian food - very nice decor and food. Kama Sutra: In PPhuket
town go down Ratsada Rd with the banks on the left, toward the clock circle /
fountain and the Talaad Sod. Before the circle turn left. Mikes and the Kama
Sutra are on your right about 50mtrs up.

Karon
Karon Café has terrific
steaks, nice salad bar, decent house wine and excellent service. Moderate
prices.
For a different experience, has anyone been to the wooden bar/restaurant (I think it's called the Reggae Bar or similar) built into the hillside on the west coast coming north from the Cape (complicated enough, or what)? It's decked out with Bob Marley/cannabis/Jamaican flags and banners, plays reggae music and you can often find the waiters sitting about playing reggae on their guitars. Watch the sunset from there - its well worth it.

Kata
Anchor bar & Resturant
English pub/resturant, good food, inexpensive, good portions but presentation lacks sometimes, opposite "Lucky's" guest house, near the kata pharmacy
Kwong Shop,
Great seafood place, not expensive, the guy who runs the place is a right laugh, Thai food mainly, near Kata pharmacy.
Ratri Jazztaurant
Great views and worth the 100 step climb. Start with cocktails on the deck to see the sunset, and move ‘inside’ for dinner and fabulous jazz music.
Mon Tris Kitchen in Kata - best service and food I have ever had in Phuket!
Two Chefs in Kata - great affordable food.
La Gondola in Kata. For me, the best pizzas on Phuket, and at very reasonable prices, too. As good as the best pizzas in Bangkok.
Check out "The Tube" bar in Kata Beach they have a great 150 baht BBQ buffet on Frday nights at 7.30. A surfer from Sweden named Mike, and his lovely wife and kids host the evening, surf movies are shown and expect an expat bunch of surfers,sailors, and other
cool folks Its on Khok Tanod rd.

Patong
BYD Lofts. Near
the entrance to Andaman Beach Suites. Very modern décor and great food. Run by
the same people who used to own Baan Yin Dee. Party nights on Fridays and they
have fab accommodation too.
Barbecue Hut on 200 year road. On your way out of town toward Karon/Kata, lefthandside about 150 meters before you make the left toward Karon/Kata. I had some great Mexican food, the guy sitting next to me had a MASSIVE plate of barbecued ribs that looked and smelled great. Also on the menu were some stupendous hamburgers, which I will have next time.
Pan Yaah - its on the road out of Patong along the beach, not far north of the Novotel. Open air dining, I love their crab in the shell, good Thai food.
Tip Top / Andre in Patong
Ta be Ta - Sushi bar on Rat U Thit Road - near Christin Massage, excellent tuna
6 and DANG (next to each other) on the main street a few doors up from bangla. Both have exellent thai food and nice service. Noisy place right on the street is the only drawback. good food and prices make it worth it though.
Two Black Sheep on Rat-U-Thit Road just across from Soi Paradise. Good place for music at night, run buy Kiwi Bill a good gent who runs a good ship. No bar girls employed. Full menu of meateater food and real NZ Lamb and Beef. Stocks real Victoria Bitter and presents and honest pour. Good Place and Good people to chat with or watch some sports. Open 10am to 2 am. Good feed for breakfast!
Sam's steakhouse at the holiday inn
Todai (end of Beach Rd, Patong) - Fab sushi, better than Zen, and cheaper, cute little booths for privacy, offer on wine at mo 580 for very decent bottle of red.
Dubai ( Rat-U-Thit, Patong) - No 2 rest better than No1. Really great hummous and flat bread.
La Boucherie ( Sawadirak, Patong) - THE Best steak I ever tasted here! 490bht
Cooked to perfection, proper salad, and whatever pots you fancy! Yum
You could also try the Danish restaurant Runde Taarn just off Soi Bangle in Soi Patong Resort, good Danish food and Thai
Sharkys bar in Patong, the sandwiches are very tasty there.
Papa Joe's. Their pizza is GREAT. By any standard. Located on Rat-U-Thit behind Charoen Optical, about 200 ms from Bangla towards Soinamien. Not much of a venue, but... yummy. Try the Italian sausage w/bell peppers.
The Roadhouse which is on the hill to Karon if you coming from Patong. Its on the left side, still before Simon's caberet. Its run by a south african couple. A large 300 gram new zealand steak for 150TH. Baby back ribs, burgers, etc all very cheap. Chang beer bottle 40 BTH. They also have pool and darts. The food was great as well as the staff. You should really check it out.
