Rank 14. One Chun
Southern Thai
A 19th-century shophouse in Phuket old town sets the scene for this Southern Thai restaurant, where the decor runs vintage and the cooking runs in the family, literally across generations. The Michelin Bib Gourmand goes to a menu built on recipes nobody wrote down because nobody needed to. Expect bold, funky flavors and the kind of pork belly that makes you reconsider everything you ordered before it arrived.

Rank 24. Samut
Southern Thai
Dark teak wood and Oriental lanterns fill what was once a hotel lobby, now a contemporary Southern Thai restaurant running a single set menu of more than ten courses that traces Phuket's coastline. Seafood comes from local fishermen, and the kitchen leans into island tradition, folding in local fruits and a reworked take on Phuket dim sum. It reads as a love letter to the south, written in a building that already had good bones.

Southern Thai

The name is an expression of curiosity, which turns out to be a fair preview of what the kitchen is doing: blending Andaman seafood with Australian imports in a way that lands somewhere between a Melbourne café and a Phuket dining room. It's a relaxed contemporary spot with enough style to feel considered. The menu is cooked to order, the flavors run bold without showing off, and the whole thing moves with the energy of a team that's having a good time figuring it out.

Rank 37. L'Arôme by the Sea
Contemporary French
-
A contemporary-style pizza dough with a pronounced crust is the anchor here, but Marni runs a fuller Italian menu than that suggests, covering fresh pasta, gnocchi, local meats, and seafood alongside the pies. It sits in the middle of tourist-heavy Phuket, which makes its consistency quietly impressive. The wine list is short and sensibly priced, and a small gin and tonic selection handles aperitivo duty. It ranked 39th on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific.

Rank 44. Five Olives
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza spot on Phuket that takes its Italian seriousness perhaps more literally than most: the owners fell hard for Italian food culture and built a colonial-style dining room around that conviction. The dough is contemporary with a proper puffy crust, and the menu stretches into pasta and risotto when pizza feels too casual. The cocktail list is more considered than you'd expect. It ranks on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific and holds a Michelin Guide selection.

Rank 54. Suay (Choeng Thale)
Contemporary Thai
The Portuguese-tiled floor and garden terrace set the tone for a contemporary Thai restaurant that reads smarter than its "sassy, unique, authentic and yummy" acronym suggests. The chef updates traditional dishes with modern techniques and a confident hand with spice, lemongrass lamb chops and crab cakes with mango chutney among the reasons regulars return. Live music on the terrace makes dinner feel like a mild occasion, even on a Tuesday.

Rank 58. Jampa
Vegetarian
Jampa is a vegetarian restaurant inside a wellness community on Phuket, where the kitchen builds its menu around ingredients grown close enough to see from the table. Dishes shift with the seasons, and the natural flavors can get quietly complex. Saturday's lakeside lunch is cooked over a wood fire, which makes it feel more like a ritual than a meal. A calm, considered room where no one is in a hurry, which is either a feature or a warning depending on your lunch plans.

Rank 63. Tiffin by La Sala
Indian
Dining beside a lagoon under the open sky is the reason to find this Indian restaurant tucked inside a resort at the northern tip of Phuket. The chef hails from Maharashtra and runs a long à la carte of curries, tandoor dishes, and a tiffin chaat platter that earns the name above the door. The naan comes straight from the oven, and the lamb vindaloo is spiced with genuine conviction.
-
Rank 64. Aulis
Thai
Simon Rogan's chef's table inside Iniala Beach House seats you at the counter facing an open kitchen, where a multi-course tasting menu moves through Thai ingredients sourced from local growers. The format is classic Rogan: farm-driven and precise, but transplanted to Phang-Nga. It holds a Michelin star. Call ahead, as it has been known to close temporarily.
