Riceberry

Riceberry is somewhere which we came across because it was between the King Rama 9 park and the Weekend market in Phuket Town.

Well it never seems to be very busy at all when we visit - maybe it is waiting for the rest of the road (Hong Yok) to be busy. The restaurant seems to be based on a Western style with proper chairs and tables.

Jemma likes the fish and chips here.

The Thai food is always tasty and 

there are some more interesting dishes to choose from.

The deep fried bananas is always something to share at the end of the meal.

The Cove

The Cove is a restaurant (and cottages) which took over from 'The Secret Cove' and next to 'The Ship Inn'.

Well we were a little taken aback when we first visited - because it was so nicely done.

We love to sit adjacent to the waters edge but raised up onto a small wooden platform above it - a wonderful place to watch the sun setting...

The food is predominantly Western but there are Thai dishes available - but we enjoy the Western. 

Predominately we choose to have something from the selection of fish

- our daughter is very happy with the pizza.

The cocktails are very nice - some more than others

Zaab

Zaab Kafe is a new and stylish Thai Esarn-Fusion restaurant/bakery cafe located in the center of Phuket Town.

This was a glorious find - I cannot remember when I first came here but I can remember coming to the bar across the road - TImberhut but I cannot recall the restaurant being here when I visited Timberhut!

So how many times have we visited?  Too many to count and I only recognise that I have been missing out on posting here. What is this place like?

Well it is fabulous for children - there are cuddly toys everywhere!

The colours remind me of a Primary School Classroom and on actually being there during the day if you gravitate towards the back there are a great number of children's toys to play with - we actually believe that we have met the owner's daughter there a number of times.

The food is wonderful - I do not know how many times we have dishes there and are happy! 

From the Som Tam 

the Honey Toast

the Fish and Chips and 

my favourite the Mango Smoothie!

The cost of everything is incredibly good value as well - we did go in during the Phuket Vegetarian Festival and they were very strict with the foods.

I found this restaurant through Jamie - here is his review.

Baan Ra Tree

Baan Ra Tree was a new restaurant which was opened recently and is adjacent to the Cape Panwa Promenade. It was originally in Nai Yang, I believe and now I think that this one is now here at Cape Panwa - well that's what it looks like if I read TripAdvisor....

The ground is actually sand - which did make sitting in the chairs entertaining plus when you could sit and watch the traffic drive past - once settled it was not an issue. There was the opportunity to sit inside and with air conditioning if that was what you wanted - we stayed outside.

We took dinner very early (6pm) and it was very quiet - which meant that we were served swiftly. Well there was a very extensive menu to choose from and we took a long time trying to decide...

We had some Mango Salad - fresh and delicious.

Then there was the green vegetables in sauce - very tasty.

The steamed rice was served with a litte style and originality.

The duck curry was superb - nice pieces of duck!

Then there were prawns in a sweet and sour sauce - okay.

and Jemma had fish and chips - very good. (Follow me on twitter to find the best fish and chips in Phuket - https://twitter.com/timinphuket - #fishandchipsinphuket)

Well that was certainly enough... so I went to take a photograph of the sunset.

Returning to the restaurant being lit up - we were still the only diners.

Then there was a plate of complimentary fruit for us and a teapot of green-tea - a vey nice gesture which I feel we should see more of the restaurants in Phuket. 

A very nice dinner - we shall certainly return.
