    The restaurant is located right at the sea, with the most amazing view over Rawai beach. Service is good, but the food was honestly not worth the visit. I had a dish with salmon, avocado and eggs Benedict. The eggs benedict was clearly not freshly made, as it was all cold. One was like hard boiled and the other one was liquid as it should be on the inside, but all cold. The rice served was also cold. Actually the only thing that was perfect was the juice, the toasted bread with jam and butter. And the only thing warm, was the omelet that we specially ordered, so it was made for order. We paid almost 1300 for this meal. The food does not match the view. The food does not match the price. So one star is doe the staff kind and friendly, good service. And one star is for the view.

    Great service with reasonable price! The restaurant staffs are very friendly and helpful. We only had coffees and cakes, which are very good, but we saw the food items which looks really nice it’s a pity we didn’t have a chance to try it. The view of the restaurant overlooks directly to the ocean, it would be the perfect spot for dinner as well as lunch.

    Delicious & beautiful modern Thai cuisine and cocktails with stunning views & tasteful decor, served by super friendly staff, away from all the touristy hustle & bustle, what a hidden gem! I also loved that I can easily find tasty low carb and/or gluten free, healthy dishes as well. What to try: Start with one of the well balanced, lovely cocktails, made by a pretty talented bartender, they were all so good! Soups: - Must try!!! Served tableside, using the siphon method, what a great idea! It’s unique & a fun experience as well, great one for your social media, Instagram stories/reels :) Salads: - Seared tuna, just stunning! it’s not your average boring tuna salad. Not only is it a stunning looking dish, but comes with a flavor packed spicy curry sauce along with a sweet beet/fruit sauce to balance it out. Also a very healthy dish! - Eggplant salad with chicken & shrimp, also a healthy, tasty dish, well balanced. Desserts: I am generally not a fan of the sweets but the desserts here are not super sweet! I had the mango panna cotta, which was creamy & delicate, just perfect! I would recommend going for a late lunch or early dinner to fully enjoy the beautiful views.

    We came across this place when going for a ride to find lunch. We had the Masaman curry chicken which was a whole Maryland covered in their curry sauce, very good. Had the pomelo salad with lobster, never had the combination before and it was amazing. Had Tom Yum goong which tasted good and I had never seen it served this way, finished cooking at the table. Just to add, I have been in Thailand nearly 4 weeks, all over, but the pomelo salad and lobster is by far my favourite! Staff were amazing and so was the location.

    Came for the view, left sorely underwhelmed and disappointed. I feel very sorry to write this review but I feel that it must be said. The tuna appetiser was not palatable (smelled fishy and strange combination of flavours) nor did it resemble the photographs, we were charged an extra 150 baht for a “larger” lobster which looked the exact same size as what was shown. Fortunately the grilled fish was tender and juicy, but alas, it was not enough to save the meal. It’s such a pity, as we have dined all over Phuket and this was the first meal that left us feeling very unsatisfied, and we expected quality for the price paid. I’d urge you to not go by the photos on their menu or you may be disappointed when the dishes arrive to your table. Perhaps, simply order drinks if you wish to enjoy the view. Our favourite part of the evening was the live musician who played the saxophone, he was wonderful!

    My wife and I landed up at this place after digging through the Internet for places in Rawai that plays live music. We were not disappointed. It is right on the beach in quite a quiet area. We witnessed the tide coming in which is special. The scene from the deck is idyllic, I just could not stop taking pictures. The resident musician is a one man band. He is extremely friendly and was receptive to all our requests for songs. He really does have an array in his repertoire. As for the food, it is good, reasonably priced, and well prepared. Definitely a must for a romantic night out.

    We loved our dinner here. We tried the tuna appetizer, salmon bbq, lobster salad and the carbonara. Everything was amazing, we loved it and will come back again. Drinks are fancy, but expensive. Not an everyday restaurant, but worth it for a special occasion.

    Rawai View is a beautiful cafe/bar overlooking Rawai Beach. There are wonderful views to be had and the restaurant has a wonderful old world ambience. We were excited to visit for breakfast after reading so many glowing reviews on Google. Sadly, the food that was presented was probably the worst breakfast we have ever had in Thailand! I ordered the Dutch Egg Benedict and my partner the garlic bread. The eggs Benedict were horrid. Hard egg yolks, watery flavourless hollandaise sauce and cheap 711 pressed ham on a chewy muffin. An absolute disgrace! Rawai View described the dish as "perfect poached eggs, savoury ham and velvety hollandaise on a toasted English muffin." The muck they served up was a million miles from their description. I understand it is not the easiest dish to prepare but if you are unable to supply the described dish then remove it from the menu. I brought it to the attention of the server and in fairness she did offer to provide me with another but I declined. My partners garlic bread was a cheap bread also, cheap ingredients here at premium prices. With a couple of drinks our total bill came to 610 baht, which included a 10% service charge of 56 baht. Whoever owns this establishment needs to retrain the cook or remove the Dutch Egg Benedict from the menu. What a disaster!

    5 stars for this super restaurant: all the dishes which we tried were super tasty and cozy presented. Since we entered in the restaurant I was impressed just by seeing the dishes of other costumes table. The staff is friendly, polite and always smiling. Superb location out of the crowd and nice view. Thank you!

    This place is incredible, food and drinks are very good. The waiter Peppy is very nice. This is a fish restaurant, but for those who do not like fish there is something to eat here. We ordered fish (sea bass with garlic), rice and chicken curry. Moreover, musicians perform here in the evening. I recommend this place to everyone.

  • 5/5 Chang Thai Motorbike r. 1 year ago on Google
    Rawai View Restaurant is a highly recommended spot for good food and stunning sea views in Rawai, Phuket. It's a great place to go on a special day, such as a romantic dinner or anniversary celebration.

  • 5/5 Noel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the most amazing 2 evenings at Rawai View with my wife. The stuff are really friendly and helpful, the evening entertainment was top class (both singers have an amazing voice) and the food was exactly what you expected of traditional Thai food, loads of flavour, heat and more flavour not to mention to presentation and attention to detail. Looking forward to our next trip to Phuket and Rawai View.

  • 4/5 Steve B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view of Rawai Beach and very good prices with delicious food. The service was excellent and hospitable We had the sea bass and they even took the bones out of it for us. I had the caramel ice latte that was good and she had a watermelon slushie The only drawback is there were only three or four parking places

  • 5/5 yamasa s. 10 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful restaurant with wonderful people working there. The view is perfect, the very friendly and attentive service too and the food is great. Lobster and scallops are perfectly prepared. Great wines are also available, e.g. a very good Rioja. Top recommendation!

  • 5/5 Yves Saint J. 3 months ago on Google New
    Absolute must try! Lobster with pomelo, grilled prawns and crispy batter-fried sea bass were all super fresh, big, bouncy and cooked to perfection. Very affordable- we spent under THB3000 for these 3 dishes and drinks. Place was very clean with sea view and attentive staff who helped add your sauce when its running low- lovely!

  • 3/5 average g. 6 months ago on Google
    Though a beautiful spot for an early evening dinner, our meal was far beneath the expected standards. We’d eaten here six months before and enjoyed our evening but we weren’t overwhelmed. Tonight, our sea bass was over fried, dry and fairly tasteless. The salmon was small for the price, half well-done, dry and half medium rare with a rice side that was practically uncooked and barely palatable. The entire meal wasn’t for not as the shrimp cakes were some of the best that I’ve had in Thailand or elsewhere. As a whole, the ingredients seem fresh so there’s potential. Perhaps the chef was having an off night so we might be willing to come again in a few months in hopes that the kinks have been worked through.

    My visit to Rawai View restaurant was a seafood lover's dream come true. The huge, juicy grilled prawns I had were a highlight of my dining experience. Cooked to perfection, they were bursting with flavor and succulence. The ambiance overlooking Rawai added to the charm, creating a memorable meal. If you're seeking delectable seafood in a picturesque setting, Rawai View is a must-visit.

  • 5/5 Francesco M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and a very nice spot it’s a bit pricey but overall a good place. Service is very friendly. Food is very tasty and drinks are very well done.

  • 5/5 Richard L. 1 year ago on Google
    Always busy at lunchtime so we thought we’d give it a try. Not disappointed at all. Relatively small menu but contrasted by good sized portions of beautifully cooked food. Some dishes are a little ‘out there’ and posey but they’re willing to change the recipe to suit. For instance one item called for blue cheese on toast but they changed to another type of cheese on asking. Great service by a guy who spoke perfect English. We will definitely return to try other dishes later.

  • 3/5 Jack’s K. 1 year ago on Google
    Well it’s a elegant place you can say comparing to rawai thai restaurents. But is it worth it ? We spent 1500 Bhat on two drink one starter and two mains.any common Thai resto can serve the same dishes.they have View okay… but that doesnt fullfill my mouth and tummy. We said earlier to the waitress we dont eat spicy we still got the chicken plate spicy, to be honest this is already pretty high level service for Rawai but dont expect anything WOW.

  • 5/5 Amiee S. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite part was the view! And the live jazz. The food was excellent, fresh, authentic and delicious. Small selection of vegetarian options available in the Thai menu. Enjoy it alot.

  • 5/5 Roman T. 1 year ago on Google
    Strongly recommend this place. The food is great, it's Asian style but totally different from the majority of places in Phuket. Cocktails are amazingly good! The best thing about the place is the waiters. They not just serve you, they talk to you and make those conversations interesting! As a bonus, you can sing there and get a bottle of beer if everyone applause to your performance:₽

  • 5/5 lee c. 1 year ago on Google
    Most delicious prawns we’ve ever had! Coffee was absolutely superb too. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, will be back soon! Thank you :)

  • 5/5 Brian F. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind and patient staff and very welcoming to tourist. Seafood and vegetables are fresh and curry is very flavourful. There's a wide variety of drinks to enjoy next to an amazing view

  • 5/5 Ario Yuniawan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, good foods and drinks and of course friendly staffs. It is hidden place near Rawai beach. However, it is an excellent place to relax after you do sightseeing in south of phuket. The price is reasonable and marches its quality.

    Nice reception, friendly service. Appreciate Thai food and views! Better come in the evening to enjoy the lightened boats The waitress made the Thai tea not so sweet as I like it! Appreciate attention to details ❤️

  • 5/5 Cristina Z. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! Everything from the very nice staff, to the delicious food and the absolutely amazing food presentation is top notch. We had some margaritas, pomelo lobster salad, the tuna appetizer, the grilled salmon with curry, the carbonara pasta and everything was delicious. The pomelo lobster salad and the tuna appetizer are a must try. All in all, loved this place and we will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Gabriele G. 6 years ago on Google
    Wonderful location and excellent place to spend a relaxing night with family and friends. I wanted to celebrate my girlfriend 's birthday so I reserved a table overlooking the beach..it was really romantic, all those lights on the sea..the service was excellent, they took care of everything, also offering a cake with candles! And the live music was amazing, the singer also sang happy birthday! Foodwise, the fish we ate was very good. Overall, great experience, not so expensive and I am glad to have chosen this location for this dinner!
