Boardwalk Bistro and Bar is a small bistro set right on the Phuket Boat Lagoon marina promenade. Tables face the water, so dinner comes with views of the yachts moored outside. The atmosphere is made for an easy, unhurried evening: gentle air-conditioning, a tasteful music playlist (often featuring 80s–90s hits), and a pleasant terrace. On Fridays, the mood livens up with live music and a barbecue.

The menu reflects Chef Bo’s personal, creative approach, blending Thai favourites with European classics. It’s not a huge selection, but it’s carefully put together: juicy ribs, ribeye and lamb shank, beef tenderloin with pepper sauce, burgers, and pasta (such as penne in a mushroom sauce). Among the Thai dishes, standouts include Tom Yum dumplings and a rich Hang Lay curry made with pork belly, tamarind, and galangal; seafood options feature sea bass and gambas-style prawns. Portions are generous, flavours are well balanced, and the food isn’t over-spiced for effect.

The drinks list works equally well for an aperitif or a late-night sit-down: cold beer, wine (including Chilean labels), cocktails like margaritas and espresso martinis, plus mocktails and milkshakes. Tiramisu is a popular dessert. Service is attentive and English-speaking, and there are gluten-free options available. Prices generally match the quality, though they may feel slightly higher than other places in the area.
