Krua Talad Yai is the main all day long restaurant at Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town. Located on the 2nd floor, it is spacious and it has indoor and outdoor seating option.

In addition, in the center of the buffet there is an interesting station of Eggs Benedict and Stewed Belly Pork. These are Krua Talad Yai’s signature dishes. A signature dish is a recipe that identifies a single chef or restaurant. These dishes are excellent, a must try!

Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town has also thought of setting up a corner dedicated to coffee and tea. The coffee is prepared with a professional 2-group machine. The espresso is really good. Furthermore, the tea list is really extensive. Now, all that remains is to choose one!

For lunch, through a detailed menu, I treated myself with 4 Thai dishes. Including Stir Fried Malindjo leaves with egg (Bai Lieng Pad Kai). Sour Spicy Fish Curry (Geang Som Pla Yod Maprao). Thai Chicken Satay Bowl served with blue rice. The blue color of the rice comes from the flower petals of Clitoria ternatea (butterfly-pea), which are mainly used as a natural food coloring in its cooking. A tasty and delicious dish. Lastly, I indulged in Crab Curry with Cha Plu leaves (Chef Ake’s Geang Pu Bai Chapu Meehun). This is an excellent signature dish of Chef Ake. With its sinfully rich flavors and thick curry sauce, it’s a dish that will blow your taste buds. Highly recommended!

The kitchen team is led by the talented Executive Chef Worrawit Dokpudsa, known as Chef Ake. Chef Ake is the main chef at Krua Talad Yai of Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town. He leads his team with harmony, preparing dishes with skill and passion. Open every day 6.30 am – 10 pm.

The bar serves delicious cocktails, Rum, Whiskey, spirits and various beers. The menu a la carte is extensive with a wide choice of Thai and International dishes. Here are some dishes that I’ve tried. Caprese Salad, Sandwich with Steak and French Fries, Mushroom Cream and Penne with Pesto. These dishes are excellent and well-presented. A beautiful presentation enhances the visibility of the restaurant and highlights the chef’s skills. Open every day 10 am – 11 pm.
