FLAME Restaurant in Bang Tao

4,6 (92)
Restaurant Bang Tao

Open Flame in Phuket Town is a small, welcoming spot right on the town’s main road — perfect for a quick dinner or a convenient stop before heading to the evening markets. The atmosphere is calm, with pleasant music, a clean and well-kept dining area, and parking nearby. It works equally well for a quiet meal or a get-together: staff handle groups and families with kids smoothly and without any fuss.

The menu brings together Thai dishes from different regions (including Isan in the Northeast and the South) alongside familiar Western options. Everything is cooked fresh with a bold, “home-style” feel. Pad krapow, Penang curry, and morning glory are reliable choices, and the grilled meats are notably juicy. If you prefer things a certain way, they’re also happy to adjust dishes on request — for example, changing the spice level.

One standout reason to visit is their open-flame burgers: generous, filling portions that are especially good value, with combo sets available that include fries and a drink. Drinks range from draft beer and interesting specials to tea, coffee, and fruit smoothies — the passion fruit one is particularly good.

It’s a friendly, attentive place with budget-friendly prices that’s easy to come back to.
