Chekhoff village restaurant

Chekhoff Village Restaurant in Phuket’s Karon area, just a short walk from the beach, is a cozy, spotless place with a calm, relaxed vibe — perfect both for a quick lunch and an unhurried dinner. The interior features subtle nods to Anton Chekhov: a prominent mural, books, and small themed souvenirs, all accompanied by pleasant background music. Guests are often treated to a complimentary plate of sliced fruit.

The menu is built around Russian cuisine, complemented by European and Thai favorites. You’ll find classics like borscht, solyanka, okroshka made with real kvass, stuffed cabbage rolls, homemade cutlets, dumplings (pelmeni) and manty. For breakfast, many choose syrniki and milkshakes. Thai and seafood options include tom yum, seafood curry, and lobster in a creamy sauce. There’s also pasta, soups, hearty salads (including an especially generous Caesar), homemade lemonade, and cocktails such as the Blue Lagoon.

Service is fast — often within 5–10 minutes — and the staff are polite and attentive. Portions are large, which makes it a convenient choice for families: there’s a separate kids’ menu, and little ones can watch “Masha and the Bear.” Payment via SBP is available, which is helpful when you don’t have cash. The restaurant runs promotions and bonus deals (for example, “2+1” on drinks), and sometimes offers a discount in exchange for a review. In rare cases — pasta, for instance — portion sizes may be more modest than expected.
