PRU Choeng Thale

Mackerel & Makhwaen Pepper

Dinner at ⭐️ and Thailand’s first but now thankfully not only Michelin green star restaurant 🍀 Pru in Phuket, now stunningly relocated from the beautiful Trisara resort to an incredible perch overlooking the Andaman Sea but still within a stones throw of the resort.
I was truly blown away by the new dining room and counter where I was able to enjoy the first snacks whilst watching the sun slowly set behind the bustling open kitchen. The food that executive chef and co-owner Jimmy Ophorst together with head chef Flo and the team produce very much lives up to the setting. A tasting menu of innovative creations embraced the best and sometimes least utilised ingredients from across Thailand, sometimes ingredients that even the locals may not be familiar with. It’s always great to dine in a restaurant that is pushing in that direction and not afraid to take risks.
Highly recommended, and again if you are on a lesser budget as I was there are plenty of comfortable accommodation options just 5 minutes down the hill at Natai beach. However, if you can then I can also highly recommend the Trisara resort itself.

We finally made it to ⭐️🍀 @prurestaurant in Phuket, which has been on my wish list for ages. The first restaurant in Thailand to receive Michelin’s green star. Since our visit it has undergone a major refurbishment and we can’t wait to include it in our tour this year.
In their own words:
“PRU takes its name from Phuket’s indigenous lore: a place where the wild forest meets the sea. At this confluence of land and water, the earth is verdant and nourishing, enlivening the local cuisine and stirring epicurean ambitions with newfound creativity. Inspired by the different eco-systems of Thailand, PRU at Trisara is pursuing our own culinary ambition – to elevate local ingredients to a new level. We use nature’s gifts from our own farm and do our part to give back, ensuring that life’s cycle continues to blossom and ripen.”
Jim Ophorst @jim_ophorst and the team’s food and service is certainly worth a trip if you are in Thailand.
