Bampot

Cool-blue booths, an open-plan kitchen and white-brick walls plastered with artwork set the scene for chef Jamie Wakeford's ambitious, contemporary European-inspired cooking – cashew-pesto risotto, crispy-skinned salmon with braised fennel, cauliflower tempura drizzled with truffle mayo. Throw in expertly crafted cocktails (try a gin-based BGT), excellent wines and cheerfully professional service, and Bampot delivers as one of Phuket's top international restaurants.
