The Farmer and The Fisherman at Porto de Phuket is a stylish spot in a popular lifestyle complex, known for its laid‑back “holiday” vibe. Think high ceilings, plenty of greenery, pleasant background music, and a very photogenic interior. Reviews often highlight the attentive, friendly service — staff are happy to walk guests through the menu — as well as fast table service and an overall comfortable setting for lunch or dinner with friends and family. Guests also mention the convenient location, free parking, a kids’ menu, and a decent wine selection.
The menu leans toward modern Thai cuisine with European influences, including Mediterranean touches. There’s a broad range of seafood, meat dishes, salads, drinks, and cocktails. Frequently recommended favorites include Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice (often served with large tiger prawns), fragrant Tom Yum, a Tom Yum seafood paella, grilled squid in a spicy sauce, and fish & chips (sometimes with a Friday promotion). Salmon rolls, fresh juices, and signature mocktails are also popular. A nice extra: some guests receive a complimentary appetizer — traditional Thai watermelon topped with dried fish floss, a rare find on most menus.
A few caveats come up as well. Many reviewers find it noticeably more expensive than local restaurants outside the complex, and some mention inconsistent quality — dishes may arrive very quickly and end up lukewarm, or feel as if they’ve been reheated. Overall, it remains a go‑to option at Porto de Phuket for its atmosphere, service, and visually impressive dishes, though prices are above the Phuket average.
