Phuket’s award-winning Da Maurizio is one of a very few restaurants that emit romance, mode and sophistication in the same breath, yet at the same time deliver world-class cuisine. The Patong beachside restaurant may be expensive by local standards but on the international stage, and more specifically the Southeast Asian stage, it really is one of the best bargains for lovers of fine dining, wine and excellent service.

Open: Daily from midday to 11.30pm
