By the Beach

Nikita's

Nikita's

Nikita's has recently transformed from a beach bar/restaurant to a full-on restaurant and the result has been an upsurge in its popularity. With a wood-fired pizza oven and spanking fresh Thai and international food along with a truly seductive beachside location, Nikita's is an experience in itself. Try a sunset cocktail here and linger for the evening - it's light years from crowded and expensive Patong.

Opening Hours: 10:00 - late
Location: Near Rawai Pier beachside
Type : Thai and international
Tel: 076-288703
Sala Loi in Rawai

Sala Loi

On the sea side of the beach road you will see a cluster of cement/porcelain tables and chairs but no restaurant. What's going on? Well, the kitchen serving diners here is actually on the other side of the road! They should have called it 'A Road Runs through It' but its real name is Sala Loi. The beachside dining theme is reproduced in kind further along the beach towards the west except without tables and chairs: diners sit on mats placed on the beach and eat off short-legged tables under the causarina trees. It's all very rustic, very charming and the food is good, too – mostly barbecued fish and chicken with glutinous rice and fresh veggies.

Opening Hours: for lunch and dinner
Location: Near Nikita’s Bar at the beginning of Rawai Beach Road
Tel: Thai and seafood
Nong Pim Restaurant in Rawai

Nong Pim Restaurant

Rawai Beach is packed with many small and inexpensive restaurants serving similar types of Thai food. Nong Pim is a good example and offers delicious seafood and items like grilled chicken, spicy beef salad as well as som tam (spicy papaya salad). From time to time you might get a hold of some special delicacies such as spicy horseshoe crab’s egg salad. In the past, customers enjoyed these on the beach but this is not the case any more. All the restaurants have been relocated down the road but are still facing the water with Rawai’s unique atmosphere as background (think of all those colourful long-tail boats moored along the beach with beautiful casuarinas trees providing shade). As for the spiciness department, you can always ask the cook to tune it down a bit so that you can really enjoy the food.

Opening Hours: Lunch and dinner
Location: Nong Pim has two branches located not far from each other at about the middle of the Beach Road
Cuisine: Thai and seafood

A fascinating but out-of-the-way restaurant in this area is Laem Ka Noi Seafood.

Norbu's Steakhouse

Norbu's Steakhouse

With an interesting interior with strong colour use, big Roman columns and lot of chandeliers, it is hard to believe that this restaurant is actually located in Phuket.

Into the Sea

Into the Sea

For fine dining in a fantastic setting you’d have to look a long way to beat Into the Sea at Evason Resort & Spa. Into the Sea is an open-sided restaurant with a terrace overlooking nearby Lone Island and on a moonlit night it’s got to be the most romantic place in the south of Phuket. The food is fabulously innovative, the wine list highly professional and the wait staff impeccable. Incredibly Into the Sea has recently lowered its prices so is much more accessible - but please note that the wine list here is still as expensive as before. A truly memorable dining experience.

Opening Hours: 18:00 – 22:30
Location: In Evason Resort, south Viset Road
Tel: +66 (0) 76-381010
Cuisine: Fusion Mediterranean dining

South of Rawai

Promthep Cape Restaurant

Promthep Cape Restaurant

Phromthep is busy at most times of day and frankly gets pretty manic at sunset but then all of a sudden everyone leaves and peace reigns once again on this breezy hill. For those who like dining with a view there is the Phromthep Cape Restaurant with its vista of Nai Harn Beach lights twinkling below. Reasonably priced, this restaurant is an excellent place to enjoy the cool evening air along with a great view. Big parking space.

Cuisine: Thai, Chinese, European and seafood
Moby Dick’s

Moby Dick’s

A friendly bar run by a local group of expats (and open to everyone) who prefer to frequent a place where they can enjoy conversation and pay reasonable prices for drinks. The result is that it is hard to beat their beer and liquor prices.  Enjoy quiz nights and meet with the international local community at the back road to Phromthep Cape, not far from the local Or Bor Tor (council) office. Check out their ‘all you can eat’ Sunday’s BBQ for around 100 baht per person – now that’s really hard to beat...

Opening Hours: From 12:00 – 22:00, Sunday BBQ is from 16:00 onward
Location: Take the left-hand fork in the road just after leaving Rawai towards Phromthep Cape. Moby Dick’s is about one km up the road
