Simple and flavorful: Russian cuisine in Phuket, created by expats from Moscow and Sakhalin. Even the name – “Samovar” – symbolizes homely comfort and heartfelt gatherings. The owners have put a piece of their soul into this place: they often greet guests personally, with a smile and warmth that embody true Russian hospitality.
The restaurant menu offers true culinary nostalgia for those missing authentic Russian dishes. Portions are generous, as they should be. A special pride of the house is the pancakes with a variety of fillings, best enjoyed with tea served from a real samovar.
Even the Thai staff here are gradually starting to speak Russian – that’s how deeply the atmosphere is infused with sincerity and love for the homeland, which the owners have brought with them to tropical Phuket.
IN SAMOVAR is not just a restaurant, but a corner of a Russian home – a place you’ll want to return to again and again.
