Beachside in Pak Nam Pran, Aleenta’s restaurant design and layout give it a relaxing Mediterranean feel, with an open deck and a covered but airy dining area with a Spanish tapas vibe. For the romantically inclined, there is the option of a private dinner on the beach.
The extensive menu offers a range of options including Western home comfort, Thai classics, a section devoted to wellness bowls, and a wide choice of local seafood specialities. The menu also tags items either with a low glycemic index or low on carbs with a description of the health benefits of certain key ingredients contained within the dish.
To begin, the hummus taco is fresh and crunchy with lots of garlic for flavour, while the keto mackerel comes with delightfully ripe crushed avocado. For the main course, gaeng poo bai cha plu, a Pak Nam Pran special with locally sourced blue crabmeat and wild pepper leaves, is highly recommended with punchy flavour and the perfect level of spice to excite the taste buds. Homemade cheesecake or a raw chocolate tart completes one’s experience.
A short wine list or a choice of Thai craft beers is offered in addition to tonic juices, high-energy smoothies and vitamin boosters in keeping with the restaurant’s healthy concept.
