No. Next to new Tesco
Why are you saying no? It is on the same road after the post office on the left hand side (which is also next to the new Tesco).

Plenty of Thai food, burgers, pizzas, steaks and fish and chips provided by various people but no mention of a Chinese restaurant. Does anyone know where there is a decent one? Could only find 'snack' type ones in Chinatown. Long time without Peking duck. Also appreciate info as to the whereabouts of a good Greek restaurant

Surprised to get no answers at all! Assume that there are no Chinese or Greek restaurants among the thousands in Phuket

If you want to get away and eat a lovely meal at a low price in exquisite surroundings try the Peang Phai restaurant by the side of the lake at Bang Pae waterfall

The Greek restaurant above the Safari club/opposite on the road from Patong to Karon is at last open. Not tried yet, but friends report the food is good, and the Thai staff are well trained by the Greek owner.

Shakers on Rat-U-Thit road is good.  They do everything from burgers to Thai Food and the food is great.  They even have a takeaway service.  Prices are really reasonable.

What about best Chicken Rice, Roast Pork Leg, Red Pork and Crispy Pork in Patong?

I vote for Nong Pohrn's at the Lotus Guest House.  South end Nai Nai road about 50 meters north of where Ha-Sip Pee road comes back down.  Next to the TungTong Mansion.  That girl knows what she's doing.

Briley Restaurant at Talad Arun Som is good too...Representatives of the local constabulary are frequent customers and its always packed.

Gotta get there early though...by 2pm its pretty much over and done with.

Went there the other night.  Great food.  Very quiet and difficult location for business though.  They were passing out 10% off flyers in Patong, and that's why we went.  I'm guessing you could go in there and say you forgot to bring your voucher and they'd give you the discount.  I hope it lasts because it really is authentic great greek food.

I have been living in Phuket for 10 years. I probably have been to most restaurants in Kata. Those are my favorites:

For French food I go to Lionel in the "Grand Prix" (Thai Na Rd). I like the duck, the Potatoes, the Ratatouille, and "Tip" the waitress.

For steaks I go to Tony in the Coffee pot(Thai Na Rd). I like the porterhouse 400 gr and the Ice cold beer and Tony's Harley.

For Indian I go to "Khan Baba". (the one on Soi 7) I like the yellow dahl, lamb, and nan bread.

For Italian I go to Mario in the Capannina. (If there is not a long queue of people waiting for a table)

For a beautiful place, I go to "Sawasdee" ((Khet Kwan Rd)

For a romantic place I go to "Bella Vista" (not far from the Boathouse)

Roxy Bar : Burritos, Tacos, great Burgers and Traditional Turkish food. Great taste and prices 90 Baht - 100 Baht per dishes. Quite big portions. You'll be satisfied for sure. Near to Bangkok Bank and On On Hotel in Phuket Town.

Zurcher's: Swiss food and nice stakes. Really nice atmosphere. Friendly owner. Reasonable prices. Stake was around 180 Baht. On the corner of By Pass road on Chao Fa 2.

La Romantica: Nice and fresh Italian food. Pizza's are good. Decent portions and inexpensive at all. Pastas and spaghettis are really nice. A decent dinner cost you 300 Baht total approximately. Cheaper and maybe nicer than Salvatore's. Near to Roxy Bar in Phuket Town.

Although I live on Koh Samui, I can highly recommend the already mentioned Le Celtique which relocated to 'somehwere' in Rawai.

Another great little Thai place is on Rawai beach road is Mae Kai, there are a few like it in that area, this happened to be a good one although a few years back already.

Kan Eang at Chalong was also very good.

For pigging out on Japanese food I like Oishi with their all you can eat offer, inside Home Mart.

Some very tempting suggestions here, 'will definitely have to try some of them.

I don't see any mention of the pork ribs at Friendship Beach or any of the restaurants at the Royal Phuket Marina, which I would recommend.  Great ambience/location with a variety of restaurants including Mom Tri's Regatta, Skipper's Bar & Restaurant, Les Anges, Limoncello's and Kampai (Japanese).  Also, the Italian restaurant at Boat Lagoon is very good, as is La Gaetana in Phuket Town.  Limoncello's at RPM is improving.  I haven't tried the Watermark since Roberto took it over and converted that to Italian to compliment(?) Limoncello's.  I would have thought that 3 Italian restaurants within the space of 200m was a bit much.

I love Thai food, so tend to eat that more often than western food, but most of the places I like to eat at don't really have names.

Every time I've been past day or night it looked closed. Do you know their opening hours? Called Greek Islands Club isn't it?

Yup, I'm looking at one of their flyers right now.  It says open 4PM to 2am.  It's directly opposite the Buzz Club and Safari Club.  You can just park alongside the road.

It's run by a couple of Greek guys, one of whom does not speak much English, and is authentic, but was very quiet the night we were there.  We were the only table.

Drove past the other day and the place looks permanently closed.

Anyone know if it is still open, its opening times or its telephone number?

What date and time did you go Keemapoot?

Looking at the date of my original post, i guess we went there around the 7th or so.  We arrived at about 9PM.  Either they open late now, or maybe they've closed.  As I said, there were no other customers the night we went, at least that I saw during that time.  I just pulled out that flyer again.  They list a telephone number as 07 629 2936.  It should read 076.92936.  Let us know what you find out, I would like to go back again.

OK popped along there today and spoke with the two owners.

They open at 4pm and close whatever time they feel like it which is probably early if they havent got any customers.

Menu seemed OK and I will report back when I have tried out their food with a few friends in the next few days as I consider myself somewhat of an exepert on Greek food.

Their telephone number is: 07 629 2936

OK Went with a few friends on Sunday night to The Greek Islands Club Restaurant opposite Safari.

Was a little disappointed that they served normal bread instead of pitta bread but definitely enjoyed what we ate which was a selection of various dishes all of which were very tasty and palatable.

Will most likely go again but the location is poor and it is difficult to envisage how they are going to cover expenses and get enough customers where they are to be found to keep the business afloat so I can only hope enough of you go along to keep the place alive for some time to come.
