We had the curry pizza, seafood soup, and fried ice cream amongst others. The food was delicious and very affordable. Service was good too. Wasn't too fancy of a place which made it that much more authentic. Highly recomment.

The Cook is not rated highly by lonely planet by chance. The green curry pizza was amazing and the spaghetti carbonara was the best I've had for a long, long time. The chef takes great pride in his work and the service was also exceptional for what is really just a small cafe. It's so good we're making another journey... More

For an unique twist on pizza, try Cook's fabulous Italian-Thai cuisine. The thin crust pies, each about 180B, are probably not big enough for two hungry people but order two, and you should have enough food for three. Between the two of us, we managed to scarf down two whole pies -- the Green Curry and the Pork Curry with... More

Wow, what a treat! Really excellent crossover-food. Try the pork-satay-pizza, it will blow your mind! Delightful desserts, good pasta, great shakes! Everything plenty, really good, and not too expensive. So, why only four points? Well, the service is very – let's say italian? Almost gruffy personnel, and that by european, not thai-standards. And I think, someone should think about turning... More

We had a long plane trip from Mae Hong Son via Chiang Mai and Bangkok and arrived at our hotel famished. On the advice of Lonely Planet we searched for The Cook. It was super good and started our Phuket trip off on a good way. If you like Thai food, pls try the Thai pizzas! They may sound bizarre... More

We've been there twice during our holiday in Phuket. Thai food is delicious and also pizza and burgers are very good. The place is small and quite normale, it's ok for both lunch and quick dinner. Dessert are very nice as well. We found some tourists of course (it's mentioned on the lonely planet) but there were also a lot... More

The Cook We chose this place for lunch from some Lonely Planet notes on Old Phuket town; the decor was nothing out of the ordinary, but nothing wrong with it either. I go for the food, not the latest shade of grey! The girls chose green chicken curry pizza and I had a sandwich. That was my mistake. Having sampled... More

We came to phuket town to have our lunch at The Cook the day before we left Phuket. The restaurant has great fruit shake! Ideal for hot afternoon. The food there is great and cheap! We tried "Andaman fried rice" and Tom Yam Pizza. =) Must visit the restaurant if you love nice thai food or pizza.

We came here three times while in Phuket town, it is cheap and tasty and you won't get an upset stomach :) They have thai food and western as well as a selection of pizzas such as 'Green curry pizza' which I'm told was really good. You can get food and a drink for four people for just over 500TBHT... More
