JaakDin Restaurant & Bakery

JaakDin Restaurant & Bakery in Phuket is a cozy spot inside the La Green hotel — equally good for starting the morning with breakfast or dropping in for dinner. The interior is thoughtfully designed, with distinctive details and views of lush greenery that create a calm, resort-like atmosphere away from the bustle.

The menu leans confidently toward European cuisine. You’ll find well-made burgers with a great bun and juicy meat, along with sandwiches, pizza, and pasta — the duck tagliatelle is especially memorable. There are also heartier options such as lamb, steak salad, and sea bass ravioli. Portions are generous and plating is neat. Breakfast features fresh dishes plus a nice touch: complimentary bread, with syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes) among the favorites. Drinks are strong too, from fresh fruit shakes to quality coffee.

One of the restaurant’s biggest strengths is its attentive service: the staff are quick, tactful, and keep an eye on the dining room without making it feel intrusive. Some team members can even communicate in Russian. The bakery and desserts add another highlight — the display case is full of tempting sweets, and custom cakes are made to match your reference exactly. A blueberry cheesecake, for instance, looks beautiful and tastes genuinely great.

The only small downside is that the restaurant isn’t always easy to spot from the road, so it’s best to navigate via the hotel grounds.
