Jaras Restaurant

Authentic Thai cuisine with a modern touch. Well presented with an amazing taste. Very good balance of flavours. This is the real healthy and tasty Thai cuisine. The waiters were giving a full description of the dishes and the wines.

From the moment we entered the Jaras dining room we were treated like Thai royalty. The restaurant ambience is light, airy and calming (even in the evening). We chose to opt for the Tasting menu and I knew we were in for a treat.

We began the experience with a meet and greet with the Chef. Loved the open plan and see into kitchen. You can interact with the chefs directly over the pass. The restaurant ethos is sustainable farm to table and see this in the many home made pickle jars used by the kitchen and the information Rick our server for the evening provided us during the dining experience on where ingredients have been sourced on the island and which farm was much appreciated.

Drinks need no mention because they were great and I mean you expect them to be.

But the food was WOW, spectacular to say the least. Every dish coming out of that pass was well thought through. A tour of many Phuket local proteins and ingredients. A festival of typical thai flavours and delightful surprises. Absolutely the freshest of ingredients and reusing elements across multiple dishes that created a cohesion between 9 equally unique dishes.

Congratulations to the team for a wonderful menu. Thank you for the rock star treatment. We were even spoiled with a complimentary chocolate cake because we were celebrating a 15 year anniversary. At the end of our meal, the Chef even paid us a visit to ask for feedback which I thought was very respectful and of course we only has praises. Then the team even shared a couple of thank you bags to take home which contained full sized jars of their award winning local rice and sea salt. Amazing can’t wait to use them on some of my creations back home!

I would highly recommend the Jaras Tasting Experience on your next visit to Phuket.

A lovely Thai restaurant at Intercontinental Phuket. I had the som tum which came with cute little sea grapes, sea bass curry, prawn phad thai (on the sweet side), and chicken skewers. Food was tasty and very well presented though rather light on the palate and did not come out hot (perhaps because of the decoration involved). The mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream was delicious. All in all it was a lovely meal, just wish that the flavours were stronger.

Food was delicious and service was very attentive. Only thing was we found the wagyu course a bit tough despite it being cooked perfectly. Everything else was great especially the soup and lobster course. Petit four was great way to end the meal really liked that all the ingredients were cured and smoked in-house

Good beachfront view, but food and service disappoints. Moo Hong Thod, a famous Phuketian dish, was merely reduced to minced pork spring rolls. Wrong interpretation of local southern Thai cuisine, wouldn't recommend. Extremely tiny portions. Preferred the burger ordered from the Pine bar next door.

Love the Ribeye! Catch of the day is also fresh. Even though their western food is good don’t forget to try their Thai menu which is pretty good as well.

We had the 9 course degustation/tasting menu. It was excellent. While expensive for Thailand it was relatively cheap in comparison to the quality of food and service we would get at home or in other first world countries.

The tasting menu was one of the most unique dining experiences I've had. I tried many Thai ingredients that I never had tried before like the wing shell and mangosteen. The dishes were very much true to Thai cuisine but wonderfully refined.

Would recommend if you enjoy tasting menus, fine dining and Thai food. Excellent service from Jessica.
