Whereto Eat in Phuket with Family: Local Favourites from Bang Tao to Phuket Town

Phuket is one of Thailand's top destinations for families, thanks to its beautiful beaches, kid-friendly attractions, and diverse dining scene. From authentic Southern Thai cuisine and Michelin-recognised restaurants to beachfront seafood spots and casual cafés, the island offers something for every age and taste — and finding a table that keeps both toddlers and grandparents happy is easier here than in most beach destinations.

‍

If you're staying in the Bang Tao area, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore some of Phuket's most popular family-friendly restaurants while enjoying the comfort and convenience of Homm Suites Laguna Phuket as your base. Whether you're looking for a relaxed beachfront lunch, authentic local flavours, or a family dinner where everyone can unwind, there are plenty of options within easy reach.

For families, convenience matters most. Being able to enjoy breakfast before heading out for the day, or return for a casual dinner after exploring Phuket, makes BOL a favourite among guests. The open, air-conditioned dining room seats large groups comfortably, and because it's part of the resort, parents can let older kids wander back to the pool between courses without losing sight of the table.

2. One Chun Cafe &Restaurant

One Chun has a Michelin nod and a location right in Phuket Old Town, tucked among the Sino-Portuguese shophouses that make this part of the island worth wandering. The food is proper Southern Thai — the kind of dishes locals grew up on, not a tourist-menu version of them.

The dining room is spread across a shophouse-style space with plenty of table spacing, so a stroller or a wriggly toddler won't feel out of place. A visit to One Chun pairs perfectly with a day exploring Phuket's historic streets and colorful Sino-Portuguese architecture, giving kids a chance to burn off energy before or after the meal.

3. Tu Kab Khao

Also Michelin-recognized, also in Phuket Town, Tu Kab Khao leans on the same warmth and Southern Thai roots as One Chun but with a menu long enough that it can afford to be a little more adventurous — and a little more forgiving of picky eaters.

It's set in an open-air, covered courtyard, so a bit of noise from a restless six-year-old doesn't feel out of place the way it might in a hushed dining room. Between the size of the menu and the relaxed setting, it's an easy stop to fold into a day of exploring Phuket Town.

4.The Farmer and The Fisherman

Just a short drive from Homm Suites Laguna Phuket, The Farmer and The Fisherman has become one of Bang Tao Beach's most popular dining destinations. The open-air, sand-floor setting, fresh seafood, and relaxed atmosphere make it ideal for families looking to enjoy dinner by the sea without worrying about shoes or spilled drinks.

Arriving around sunset lets families enjoy cooler temperatures while children can still play on Bang Tao Beach before dinner is served, which tends to make the whole evening feel less rushed than a strict sit-down meal.

5. Porto de Phuket & Boat Avenue

Families often appreciate having options, and nowhere offers more variety than Porto de Phuket and Boat Avenue. Located only minutes from Homm Suites Laguna Phuket, this vibrant lifestyle district features everything from Thai restaurants and Japanese cuisine to cafés, bakeries, dessert shops, and international dining options.

Because it's an open plaza rather than a single restaurant, restless kids can take a walk outside while food is being ordered, and nobody has to compromise on where to eat. It's probably the most stress-free dinner option in Bang Tao when the group can't agree on what to eat.

6. Catch Beach Club

Located directly on Bang Tao Beach, Catch Beach Club remains one of Phuket's most famous beachfront dining venues. During the day, families can enjoy a laid-back atmosphere, international cuisine, and direct access to the beach.

Daybeds and shaded loungers near the tables mean children can play in the sand while parents keep an eye on them without leaving the meal, and the daytime scene is noticeably calmer than the venue's evening crowd. Its location near Homm Suites Laguna Phuket makes it a convenient option for lunch, dinner, or sunset drinks.
