UNIQUE Restaurant & Bar

UNIQUE Restaurant & Bar in Patong (Phuket) is an easygoing spot with an evening vibe: dim lighting, a sleek modern interior, and mellow music create the feel of cozy fine dining without the pretension. It works just as well for a casual daytime visit as it does for dinner — whether you want to linger over a glass of wine or get some work done at a table.

The menu blends familiar comfort with a few surprises, combining Thai favorites, European classics, and Russian dishes in one place. Everything is neatly prepared with fresh ingredients: tom yum (many people come here specifically for it), tom yum noodle soup, pasta, steaks and filet mignon, duck leg, and fish fillet served with sauce and sides. There are also “home-style” options such as beef dumplings (pelmeni), chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes, syrniki (cottage cheese pancakes), and Caesar salad. For dessert, you’ll find medovik (honey cake) and ice cream. Presentation is clean and understated, and the flavors are consistently bold and well-balanced.

The bar is a strong reason to stop by on its own: cocktails are creative, there’s a solid wine list, and they sometimes run evening deals like 2+1 on cocktails and wine. The staff are attentive — happy to adjust dishes for dietary needs, pace the courses to your preference, and easily set up a dinner for a group.

A few things to keep in mind: some dishes come in smaller portions, a 10% service charge may be added to the bill, and service can occasionally feel a bit too fast if you’re aiming for a long, leisurely meal.
