Costa Grill Restaurant on Rawai Beach is a cozy spot in Phuket for a relaxed lunch or dinner, built around quality ingredients and precise cooking. It blends European influences with an easy island vibe: soft music, dim lighting, and a neat, well‑kept dining room create an intimate atmosphere with a touch of romance.

The standout feature is the extensive menu. There’s something for every mood — wood‑fired pizzas (including options with truffle and burrata), pastas and salads, Thai dishes, as well as Corsican charcuterie and cheese plates. Meat lovers will appreciate the steaks and grill: the cooking is confident and careful, delivering good doneness and real juiciness, with highlights like a Rossini steak topped with foie gras. Drinks are taken just as seriously, with a strong selection of alcohol — especially wines and sparkling — plus well‑made cocktails.

Seating is thoughtfully arranged: you can choose the terrace or the cool, air‑conditioned indoor space. Service is fast and attentive; dishes arrive quickly, the team helps with recommendations, and they’re happy to adjust plates to your preferences. It’s also a comfortable place to visit with children — the attitude is friendly and unobtrusive.

Prices are above the neighborhood average and closer to European levels, but the portion sizes, ingredient quality, and overall service make them feel justified. Occasionally, a few items may be less impressive (such as seafood pasta or the cheese in a calzone), while desserts and the cheese section of the menu are consistently strong. A nice extra for French speakers: the staff can speak French.
