Top of the Reef

Top of the Reef is a French Fine Dining Restaurant within the grounds of Cape Panwa Hotel, which is at the very South end of Phuket Island.  I waited until a Sunday to have this dish because it is only available on the Sunday Set Menu.

Of course I could have arrived earlier for the Happy Hour at the bar adjacent (Otter's Bar) but I really only wanted the Beef Wellington... 

Delicious, the beef inside the flaky crust pastry was rare / medium and the pate was delicious, we are starved of good quality pate here in Phuket so this is a real pleasure.  Of course there is a different set menu for every other day plus a full a la carte menu to choose from...

Worth the wait until a Sunday

Euro-deli

We chose here because it was close to Dino Park!!!!


The menu was (obviously) Western and was served beautifully.  The bread was clearly fresh and I could not get enough of it, hungry even thinking about it.  The chicken salad was tasty and very filling - a lovely dinner - so was the rest but I can't remember the dishes.


The only thing that detracted from our enjoyment was that the guidelines for not smoking in a restaurant were ignored...

Preang Prai - 5th visit

What a beautiful location - Preang Prai Restaurant is in the Northern part of Phuket Island and is just outside the Gibbon Rehabilitation project and Bang-Pae waterfall - places which must be visited whilst you are here in Phuket.

The food is always prepared well and is of good Thai quality - which is I always see Thai people there. There has been an increase in tourists visiting actually - which is always good, but it was quite busy though.  I do enjoy being married to a beautiful Thai woman because food is so much more of an event to be shared - plates are shared and  food is shared - none of the Western attitude of 'my plate' sorry I digress.

The food is certainly worth a visit.
