Amidst a meticulously landscaped tropical garden sits an elegant Sino-Portuguese palace, gracefully housing the exquisite Blue Elephant Phuket. Originally the Governor’s residence, the soft exterior lighting, traditional art pieces and careful restoration are as inviting as the knowledgeable staff who guide you through the elegant bar area to the table, whether indoor or outdoor dining. The menus overflow with chef Nooror Somany Steppe’s renowned recipes offering a wide selection of authentic Royal Thai dishes. These are complemented by an array of southern Thai options, influenced by Malay and Indian culinary traditions, reflected in dishes including chef’s bespoke lamb massaman. Le Voyage tasting menu is undoubtedly the go-to choice for most, providing a generous number of sharing dishes showcasing chefs’ signatures. The Peranakan-themed menu offers a lighter experience and a window into Southern cuisine culture. The kitchen team warmly engage diners at their tables and attentive service staff are always happy to guide newcomers through the menus. The wine list, many available by glass, comfortably satisfies every budget and taste showcasing both imported and local wines. There is also an intriguing range of cocktails, mocktails and fresh juices. The stars of Siam desserts are elegantly presented and flavourful, providing a memorable finish to an authentic Thai culinary experience.
