Horizon Hospitality in Chalong
Nestled cliffside overlooking sparkling Horizon of Chalong Bay, KEP restaurant offers a perfectly polished refuge for those desiring stellar Thai fare along with warm hospitality. From the moment one steps into this sleek yet inviting award-winning space, the creative passion radiating through every facet immediately transports visitors far beyond typical Phuket dining clichés.
Panoramic sea views through floor-to-ceiling glass set an amber-hued stage bathed in moon glow each evening. But style proves wildly deceiving upon glimpsing and amazing menu, where culinary sophistication shines proudly through KEP’s royal Thai cuisine rather than Phuket’s ubiquitous lobster pad Thai fare.
Signature starters of heirloom betel leaves with slow-cooked Iberico pork and soft shell crab green curry elegantly balance complex flavors and textures, elevating usual dishes to rare heights. Main courses like baked sea bass with chili jam and wok-seared Australian tenderloin in tamarind sauce showcase Chef Ketsara’s knack for fusing global cooking influences with regional Thai specialties sourced locally from both sea and farm.
Like edible artwork, these unexpected preparations showcase immense creative talent. Here at KEP is where you can enjoy some of the most freshest seafood and western food in Phuket. Many come here to relax and enjoy the drinks as well as the live music and food. Everything fresh from the local Thai markets and fresh fish market will leave you in awe of what is to come from this home away from home diner.
Equally remarkable is the team’s polished hospitality and solicitous service flow led by gracious host Oui, who ensures first-timers and loyal regulars alike feel exceptionally cared for. Servers make recommendations suited to each visitor’s discerning tastes after personalized discussion about preferences and trip highlights so far.
Combined with famously creative cocktails like the signature Sunrise mixology performance at the table, plus a warm genial vibe inviting visitors to mingle casually amongst themselves while unwinding to live music, KEP exudes understated world-class refinement.
For discerning foodies thirsting to discover Thai cuisine not bound by geography or convention, KEP soars high over the horizon as an unexpected culinary sanctum. Far removed from Phuket’s cookie-cutter dining landscape yet just minutes south of the action, Chef Ketsara’s kitchen offers a proudly unconventional experience melding first-rate hospitality with extraordinarily creative dishes. An absolute must-savor while on the island for visitors who appreciate personalized service and Thai cuisine masterfully reinvented – the dazzling trademarks setting KEP worlds beyond Phuket’s touristy fare.
