Fine location next to Kata beach, and I would recommend trying one of their fixed price lunches which are good value. The food is good but not outstanding, and if taking wine the bill can be wince inducing. Dinner can be spoilt by the noise coming from a nearby reggae bar.

Over rated resturant poor service. They got the wrong order for one diner and one diner did not get a meal until we had all finished our meal. No way of an apology to either person. Food was not great and after dining at moms tri the evening before it was a real diss appointment.

My husband and I recently dined at the Boathouse in Kata and we were so impressed by the ambience, quality of food and the service. The location was great - right on Kata Beach where you can watch the sunset. I have some food sensitivities and they were on top of what I could or couldn't have, and my choices... More

We were told by friends that the Boathouse at the southern end of Kata had been renovated and changed by the new owners and it was a fantastic place so during our recent visit to Phuket we went for a drink in their bar/restaurant. Wow the place is now even more fantastic than it was before. Modern furniture and fittings... More

High quality restaurant, great food, expensive for Phuket but it is a world class experience It is a pity the tax on wine is so high in Thailand as the wine list is amazing but the prices are to expensive to enjoy the wine on offer

My wife and I had dinner at The Boathouse on 1st April and thought it was absolutely fantastic. The food was the best we have ever eaten in Phuket, the wine list was comprehensive but with good value selections, the staff were friendly and attentive and the setting, we were on an outside table overlooking the beach, was magnificent. We... More

This restaurant was our 1 splurge while on vacation in Phuket. It's located on the beach in Kata, and the restaurant provided free transportation to and from our hotel. They have a very nice wine list, and I'd recommended trying out the Thai cuisine on the menu (as opposed to the French cuisine). We had a pretty amazing seafood pad... More

One of my favourite places for lunch in particular. Love to sit looking out onto the lovely bay and beach and watch the world go by in their swimwear - or not - and have excellent cold wines and a good food.

We stayed in Phuket for 8 days and the Boathouse was definitely our food/dining highlight! They accommodated our request to sit outside and we had a fantastic table over looking the beach. The food was outstanding - by far the best we had in Thailand! The service by all the wait staff was excellent and their knowledge of the extensive... More
