Phuket’s TOP25 Restaurants
Phuket, Thailand – September 12, 2023 – TRAVELINDEX – TOP25Restaurants.com, a pioneering organization harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to curate and recognize the world’s most outstanding dining establishments, is excited to unveil the long-awaited list of Phuket’s top 25 restaurants for the year 2023. This marks the third edition of this prestigious ranking, underscoring our unwavering commitment to celebrating culinary excellence in Phuket.
The 2023 awards shine a spotlight on the achievements of Phuket’s top 25 restaurants, thoughtfully selected and ranked using the Restaurant Rating Index, an objective curation and evaluation standard driven by artificial intelligence and enriched by professional expertise.
Leading the charge in fine dining is ” hom restaurant,” under the creative helm of Chef Ricardo Nunes, renowned for his fermentation-inspired cuisine featuring locally sourced ingredients from Phuket. Following closely behind is “L’Arôme by the Sea,” the island’s sole French fine dining establishment, where Chef Yannick Hollenstein redefines contemporary French cuisine. The third spot is claimed by “Jampa,” a farm-to-fork concept with ever-changing daily offerings. The fourth and fifth positions belong to “Pru,” situated within the award-winning Trisara resort, and “Samut ,” an establishment dedicated to exquisite Thai cuisine accentuated by local seafood and ingredients.
This year’s list also welcomes nine new additions to the top 25, including ” HEH,” Phuket’s first Australian fine dining experience; ” Semi di Tsubu,” Thailand’s inaugural Itameshi restaurant seamlessly blending Japanese and Italian cuisine; and “Su Va Na,” offering an immersive marine dining experience that surprises and delights its guests.
Founded by the visionary Bernard Metzger, the driving force behind the TOP25 Restaurants Guide series, Top25Restaurants.com has consistently set the culinary industry’s gold standard. Since 2018, our annual rankings and awards have relied on the proprietary “Restaurant Rating Index” owned by Travelindex. This multifaceted index assesses various aspects of dining establishments, encompassing food quality, ambiance, value for money, as well as online presence, social engagement, and AI-driven review content analysis. The Restaurant Rating Index has emerged as the benchmark for appraising top-tier restaurants, attracting chefs and diners alike in their pursuit of extraordinary dining experiences.
While this year’s awards ceremony marks the inaugural event for Phuket, it’s worth noting that in June 2023, TOP25Restaurants.com hosted the TOP25 Restaurants Bangkok awards ceremony, further enriching the culinary accolades in the region.
The TOP25 Restaurants Phuket Awards 2023 ceremony unfolded on September 11, 2023, at the opulent InterContinental Resort & Spa Phuket. This occasion was particularly noteworthy as it marked the first in-person event since the inception of the rankings, underscoring the resilience and vitality of Phuket’s culinary scene.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of prestigious trophies to each of the top 25 restaurant winners in Phuket. These elegant trophies featured the restaurant’s name and its 2023 rank and were personally bestowed by Mr. Lertchai Wangtrakuldee, Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Phuket Office.
