Where to find great steaks in Phuket?
Steakhouses in Phuket are a growing trend, merging top-quality imported and local meats with Thai flavours from small, modest restaurants to luxurious and often expensive venues. These restaurants offer various settings, from upscale modern interiors to laid-back beachside vibes.
Wagyu and Angus’s cuts take centre stage, accompanied by various sides and sauces. Several restaurants allow customers to select their preferred cuts from a display as well as their preferred cooking styles. Most restaurants also offer other meats such as pork or chicken as well as fish in case one of the accompanying guests is not as hungry for beef as you are. Complemented by extensive wine lists, these restaurants offer a memorable dining experience in Phuket for those craving excellent meat for lunch or dinner.

Baba Hot Box at Sri Panwa
| Location: Cape Panwa |
We were pleasantly surprised with our visit to Baba Hot Box BBQ and Steak House at Sri Panwa in the south of Phuket Island. The quality of the meat, the sophisticated equipment used to cook and smoke it to perfection (a Spanish Josper BBQ) and, most importantly, the chef’s skills made this evening a treat. Probably one of the best steak experiences on the island.
