“ It's a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant near the Sarasin Bridge. The service is exceptional; the staff are always willing to help with a smile, even when they appear very busy, especially in the kitchen. I noticed that service can be a little slow during peak hours, but their cheerful service makes it easy to overlook. The food is good, though not spectacularly fresh. We tried the classic dishes and the fish, which were both enjoyable. The fruit blended juice is beautifully presented, but at 120 baht each, it does seem a little expensive. ”
“ Visited the Phuket Michelin restaurant Ta Tuay, which is located at the top most of northern region. The price is reasonable, food is nice. We take the “risk & courage” trying the sand worm (#2 on menu) & sand crab (#6 on menu), black ink cuttlefish, fried mee, seaweed. To my surprise, seaweed (#101) is very good : salty & crunchy!!! Fabulous sure will come again even though need to travel >1 hour from south to north. ”
“ Always come here for a meal when visit Phuket. the restaurant is near airport, Sarasin Bridge so you can manage time to come for a meal before catching the flight or when arrive, just drop by before going in to town. Overall food is good and delicious, fresh and cooked well. The famous shell called 'hoi crang Pa Neaw' is a must to order, together with fried cicada . Southern food is always a good ideas here. ”
