Ronkhaow Café & Restaurant — a 4.9-star, nature-framed lunch stop near Old Phuket Farm and Phuket Airport
High average scores from visitors tell part of the story; guest comments supply the rest. Visitors consistently point to a calm, scenic setting and authentic Thai plates as the reasons to visit, while a few practical trade-offs are worth planning around.
What the place feels like on arrival
You enter under decorative, glowing creatures suspended over the walkway and the room fills with soft music. Multiple guests describe water fountains and ponds, bamboo Thai-style buildings and lots of surrounding nature that invite a slow pace. Several reviewers mention being able to walk the grounds after eating, and one noted that even a sudden rain shower didn’t spoil a meal because there’s a waterside view to sit back and enjoy.
What to order — dishes guests singled out
- Fish curry — recommended for those wanting classic Thai flavors.
- Fried fish with special sauce — highlighted as a standout by more than one guest.
- Lotus flowers served with condiments — mentioned as a tasty appetizer.
- Overall menu impressions — visitors praise authentic recipes, fresh ingredients and a generally delicious result; several comments add that the pricing feels reasonable for the quality.
Service, atmosphere trade-offs and one practical request to know
Staff are described repeatedly as calm, attentive, friendly and helpful, which supports the relaxed vibe. The main downside noted by multiple visitors is the presence of flies, a consequence of the farm-like setting; guests suggest asking staff to turn a large fan toward your table to ease the problem.
When to go and who this suits
Most reviewers visited at lunchtime and framed the site as a daytime destination for peaceful dining. The combination of garden-style scenery and laid-back service makes the place a fit for travelers wanting a quieter meal, families who appreciate outdoor space, and anyone looking to slow down rather than chase nightlife.
