The best restaurants in Kamala include a rich and diverse selection of establishments serving a wide variety of cuisines. While Kamala still retains a 'local village' feel, the dining scene here is as cosmopolitan as any of the more developed destinations along Phuket's west coast.
The dining scene in Kamala has perhaps the broadest budget range of any area in Phuket. At the southern end, you have the Millionaire's Mile, containing some of the most exclusive venues on the island. Even so, head into the heart of the village and you'll find charming little local venues where you can enjoy a filling meal for just a few hundred baht.
