Nai Han

A favourite among ex-pats and tourists, the Breakfast Hut serves arguably the best breakfast in Nai Harn. The menu includes both Western and Thai foods, and the restaurant is run by Noi and her a colourful Scots partner, John. Can be a lifesaver after a hard night out.

Recognised as one of Phuket's better eateries. The restaurant itself includes a large open-air area, a number of private function rooms, a cocktail bar, and children's play area. Food is of a very high standard with a good menu selection, the staff are hand-picked to add to the aesthetic appeal, and the atmosphere in this place is very good. Live musicians regularly play jazz, electro and chill out music. Definitely a great restaurant for a special night out, but this place tends to be a bit full of itself and is not for those on a budget.

Italian restaurant in Nai Harn, rustic in both food served and the laid-back atmosphere. M&Ms is reputed to serve the best pizza in Phuket. The pizzas here really are that good, and the pasta specials also make fine dishes. The only downside is this place's popularity, and during peak season the queue can mean a wait of 30 mins or more. The music is jazz, there's always a good buzz here, and it's very family-friendly.

Thai chef, Khun Eat, and her sister, Khun May, decamped from another restaurant and started their own place. Terrific selection of both Thai and Western food: salads, spaghetti, sandwiches, all delicious and priced within reach.

This place has a lot of charm and atmosphere. The food is of a really high standard, and the Australian owner/chef has a great skill for serving ordinary dishes in an extraordinary way. The menu changes regularly, and fuses Mediterranean and Thai cuisine. Certainly not the cheapest restaurant in the area, but definitely one of the best. They close on Sunday. No need to reserve.

Bungalows on the beach. Small restaurant and dive shop.
