Esenzi

Phang-Nga Province


Seafood from around the world is the theme at Esenzi, the latest incarnation of the acclaimed restaurant at the exclusive Iniala Beach House. The menu moves between Europe, Japan and the US, as well as Thailand. If you're feeling flush, the eight-course tasting menu (8000B) is the way to go. Super service and wine list.
