Where to eat in Rawai?
Rawai's dining scene runs from beachfront seafood shacks to a French bistronomic table, all within a few minutes of Mango Hill Residence. Here's where we send guests, grouped by what you're in the mood for.
Fine dining and fusion
ZEN EAT Phuket, by Chef Sylvain (Soi Saiyuan) blends French technique with Thai ingredients, the standout choice for an anniversary dinner or a night you want to dress up for. Open Monday-Saturday evenings.
Green Tamarind Kitchen (Soi Khokmakham) is known island-wide for its burgers, but the Thai menu, tom yum, seafood curry, is just as strong. Cash only, closed Mondays.
Bars and evenings out
GROOV Gastrobar (Soi Saiyuan) pairs Wagyu steaks and cocktails with a DJ set most evenings from 8pm, the pick for a livelier night out in Rawai.
Rustic & Blue, By The Sea, on the hillside above Rawai Beach, is a garden-to-table restaurant with an onsen and spa attached: organic brunch by day, wine dinners in the evening, with longtail boats visible from the terrace.
Coffee and casual
Boost Cafe & Restaurant is the reliable all-day spot for a proper coffee and a healthy brunch, open daily 8am-6pm.
Crème Café Phuket is the quieter option for a slow coffee and homemade pastries.
Curry, seafood, and views
Highway Curry covers Indian, Thai, and vegan in one menu, a dependable choice when the table has different tastes to please.
FISH BAR & RESTAURANT keeps it simple: the day's catch, prepared straight.
Rawai View earns its name: go for sunset with a Thai/international menu and sea views over the longtail boats.
