Top 5 cafes in the Kata area

Kata is one of the most popular areas in Phuket. It has a well-developed tourist infrastructure, and of course, there are many cafes and restaurants worth visiting — offering both authentic Thai food and dishes from other world cuisines.

If you’re staying in the Kata area or planning to stay there soon, this guide is for you. Insider presents the top 5 cafes and restaurants in Kata.

Heaven Restaurant & Bar

A perfect spot for a romantic date. This panoramic restaurant offers a 360-degree view of three beaches — Karon, Kata, and Kata Noi — as well as the jungle and the sea. It feels like you can see the curve of the Earth from here. The romantic atmosphere is complemented by great music, and you won’t want to miss the opportunity to dance.

The menu at Heaven Restaurant & Bar offers traditional Thai and European dishes, with large portions, and they really know their cocktails here.

The prices are above average, but for a view like this, it’s worth paying a bit more. After all, a restaurant is not just about food, but also the experience.

Sunlique Rooftop Restaurant

A stylish interior, a pleasant atmosphere, and a beautiful view of the entire Kata area from the terrace. On Fridays and Saturdays, a DJ plays here.

The menu at Sunlique Rooftop Restaurant deserves special praise — it’s not overly extensive, but carefully curated, and every dish is worth trying. This comes as no surprise, since the chef of the gastrobar has experience working at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Moscow.

Must eat – scallops with strawberries, Tom Yum, duck liver pâté, the perfect Caesar salad, and a meringue-based dessert.

Mustache Bar & Restaurant

A bar with live music in the evenings. Mustache Bar & Restaurant is an intimate spot with dim lighting, where the waiters, like old friends, recognize every guest, smile, and ask how they are doing.

The main cuisine on the menu is, surprisingly, Turkish, but there are also European dishes, a few vegetarian options, and some excellent desserts. The bar menu deserves special mention – you can enjoy a great evening with a glass of good wine or a signature cocktail.

⦁ Issara Restaurant & Bar

A restaurant with a beautiful interior and signature dishes presented in an incredibly stunning way. Issara Restaurant & Bar has an open kitchen, and sometimes the chef himself comes out to the guests to explain what surprises are in store for the day.

The highlight of Issara Restaurant & Bar is its meat dishes. According to guests, this is one of the few places on the island where they know how to cook steaks to perfection. A must-try are the meat delicacies from Japan and Europe, including steaks, marbled beef, and foie gras.

The Cattleya Restaurant menu offers European and Thai cuisine with balanced spiciness. There are also dishes that children will love – nuggets, burgers, hot dogs, and even dumplings, making Cattleya Restaurant a great choice for a family dinner.
