Likely the best restaurant on Phuket. Serves an elaborate dinner in a private home setting. Belgian Chef Marc and Maitre D' Corry make sure you have a memorable evening. By reservation only. Prices around Baht 2000-2500 per person, but in most Western countries you would pay double or triple for a similar meal in a top restaurant.
