    Zen Eat is a jewel of a restaurant in Phuket and one of the best I’ve experienced. It was so good we returned 2 nights later, travelling 35 mins from our hotel. The restaurant itself is covered but has a very open and relaxed feel. The welcome from the front of house team was excellent, but the food was truly exceptional. Often in restaurants, the specials board is a device to shift ingredients near the end of their shelf life - not in Zen Eats. Each of the specials is Chef Sylvain pushing boundaries and trying new ideas, each exquisitely presented and delicious. The staff specifically ask for feedback and take it straight back to the kitchen - a clear sign of a chef who really cares. We tried all the specials across the two visits. The wagyu truffle burger on the a la carte menu was incredible; the menu has a wide selection of vegetarian food; and even the kids menu was beautifully presented. I’ve posted photos of the Salmon and Selection of Desserts- I’d recommend both too! On our second visit a big group of 16 arrived- often this would slow down a kitchen, but being sat near the serving hatch we saw perfect dishes flying out and the staff didn’t miss a beat. Drinks wise, we had a bottle of the Pinot Noir in the first visit- which was excellent - and the kids tried various infused waters which went down very well. Final kudos go to the restaurant being the first I’d found in 4 weeks in Asia with 0% Heineken - alcohol free beer being quite normal now in the UK. It meant I could still have a beer (of sorts) despite the restrictions for Buddha Day that coincided with our second visit. In short, this is a restaurant that anyone visiting Phuket needs to put on their itinerary. Go twice even! You won’t be disappointed!!

    Really nice French food with a little touch of Thai taste on some dishes. The price is correct for foreigners but I guess a little bit expensive for local. I recommend for nice culinary experience even if you're French like me 😋

    We had a great dinner at ZEN EAT. The food was delicious and the service was great. The restaurant is not very well placed but compensate by the quality of the dishes and of the service. Definitely one to try if you are in the area. Only suggestion for improvement would be to make the mini burger of the kids menu a bit bigger as it is closer to a micro burger (especially compared to the adult burger that is enormous)

  • 5/5 Ratta A. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite place. Love most of the dishes especially Mango Catalane cream espuma for dessert.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 2 years ago on Google
    I always make it a point to visit ZEN EAT when in Phuket. The quality of the food, the presentation, the wine list.. it's really a great spot. And less expensive than many other less impressive spots in Nai Harn! My only complaint would be that I wish there were more tapas on the menu.

  • 5/5 Marcus L. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want to eat the finest french food and more this is the place to be. The chief is a master chief from France. Each meal is made with the french touch! Every plate is famous. You must to try!

  • 5/5 Jérémie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gastronomic restaurant with decent prices. The quality of the ingredients is superb. The service is on point. There are special promotions everyday. They made a cake for my wife birthday wish I really appreciated.

  • 5/5 Garrett P. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply Fantastico! Atmosphere was calming and pristine, staff was attentive and friendly even while short handed. Food was amazingly fresh , tasty and wonderfully presented. Imported cheese platter is a must do. Tried the mini burger sampler and now I have to try each regular size. Mango dessert I’m coming back for you!!! Huge wine selection. The tables all filled up while we were there eating. Now one of my favorite restaurants. Thank you so much!

    Great French restaurant with a twist! Highly recommend the ceviche, super good and very fresh :) the hamburgers in this restaurant are HUGE, be prepared to be full, unlimited burgers on Wednesday nights for the most courageous of us haha! Anyhow, would definitely recommend, very worth the price for the quality served :)

    We had the starter, main course and dessert and everything was delicious! Starter was mushroom cream soup, main course was Pla Lui Suan and dessert was fresh blueberry tart. The waiter was friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

    Nice chef-owner operated French restaurant in Rawai. Service great, food presentation very nice, overall food quality well above average. Steak quality could have been better though ... but we'll be back one day and try something else.

  • 5/5 Zhanna I. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible place. The food is delicious, the service is flawless, all staff speak great English by the way! It was my birthday and this place made my day. We ordered oysters (and they were so good that I decided to order one more portion!); starters, main dish, and desserts were also very tasty and looked as a piece of art. Prices are absolutely fair; and we left some tips as I just loooooved the service - waiters and a man, who I supposed was either a host or an owner of the restaurant, were attentive, but not annoying; they were there for us when we needed them and didn't disturb us when we wanted some space. I'm absolutely sure I'll come back here. This is truly a place where feel welcome. Thank you guys!

    If you are searching in the Google map. This is the best place in this area. Wether solo, couples, friends or family. Zen eat giving you welcome atmosphere, open air islander vibes. Great service. Food good quality. Many selections to choose, from a la carts to set menu. The price is reasonable compare with the quality of food. Parking for motorbike at street and 6-7 cars inside.

  • 4/5 Lawrence P. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely little French cuisine spot in Rawai. Enjoyed a gorgeous slow cooked beef cheek with red wine reduction. Nicely presented food and the staff are all very pleasant , some English is spoken here . We managed to get a walk in table 20 minutes before they closed, we were very grateful for this.

  • 5/5 Rosie L. 4 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful birthday dinner, fantastic food and beautifully presented. Zen Eat is one of my favourite places to eat in Rawai, the staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Sylvain & his team are amazing - the dishes are so tasty. Huge thank you to Sylvain who made a beautiful and very delicious birthday cake for my husband. We had a very special evening celebrating with our friends.

  • 5/5 Yevhen K. 4 months ago on Google
    I'd probably put 6 stars for food if I could. The food was unreal, really tasty and in large size. Also there is a large list of wines available. This is a good place for fine dining. And great experience overall. Keep in mind that this place is really popular, so better to book a table in advance.

    Good food-Good service. I was amazed that i can find proper fine dinning dishes in Rawai. I would recommend you a visit. Not cheap but good quality. Most probably i will visit again. Tip for the management of the place, get a proper espresso machine. everything was great the espresso is not up to the standards of this place. Cheers

  • 5/5 Thibaud S. 3 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous ! I went there for the first time with a friend almost randomly, because it was conveniently close to our location... What a wonderful choice ! Warm welcome, dedicated staff, very creative menu with a combination of traditional French cuisine mixed with very creative and delicately surprising ideas. High quality food, high value for the money, wine included. You can feel from the bite that there is a good « spirit » in that place. An example : in the daily set, the starter was a fresh spring roll... Of course, you could expect the usual « shrimp » thing. But the ingredients were not only incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced with fresh herbs, it also came with a choice of three different sauces (Thai style, Vietnamese style, or peanut butter style). It was perfectly presented too... I felt like discovering this meal for the first and being encouraged to try new tastes. We planned our stay in order to be able to come back... Don’t miss it !

  • 4/5 Ksenia U. 3 years ago on Google
    I consider , that the dishes was not bad and was tasted good, but I was a little bit frustrated about the service. I ordered still water, vine and ice . I got a vine but I have to ask about the water and ice twice. One more thing, I order tuna tar tar and main dish duck confit. I got both dishes the same time. It's strange, isn't it ? When I've done with my dinner , the plates took a place on my table very long time .We asked a check 3 times . Meanwhile, it was 3 table with guests... For sure , I'll probably come again , to enjoy a food , but I hope, the stuff may well be more attentive to the guests.

  • 5/5 Jonathan H. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent quality food cooked and presented exquisitely. This was a tuna and mango appetizer, and Parma ham on dried tomato tarte, followed by rack of delicious lamb.

  • 5/5 Carol F. 3 years ago on Google
    The dishes are generous as much as the restaurant team! I really appreciate all that I have tried and there is a selection of mini burguers , literally to die for. I can't wait to return and savor more of this menu that will surely not disappoint me . The manager is super kind and it is wonderful to see this reflecting on the entire team. Service is everything! Thank you for welcoming us so well and the chef Sylvain, who impressed us with these œuvres d'art !

    (Translated by Google) It's a shame that we only visited this restaurant on our last evening.
