Good food when available

A lot of what we wanted to order on the menu wasn’t available that day. Nevertheless, what we did get was delicious and beautifully presented.

Schöne Atmosphäre

Es ist schwierig vegane Restaurants zu finden, mit solch einer schönen Atmosphäre. Restaurant ist etwas versteckt in einem Resort aber gut ausgeschildert und mit viel Parkmöglichkeiten für Roller. Das Essen war fantastisch und sehr kreativ. Auf jedenfall empfehlenswert für einen schönen Abend!

Esperienza indimenticabile

Ristorante vegano delizioso e sano con una bellissima vista sulla baia sotto di noi. Premessa: Non fidatevi delle altre recensioni che dicono che l’hamburger non era buono perché non è per niente vero. Si vede che questa gente si aspettava la BeyondMeat con sapore a MacDonald e non capisce niente di cibo sano ed elaborato a base di ingredienti veri!

Veniamo a noi adesso. Come antipasto abbiamo preso un’insalata Joy con ceci e dressing d’anacardi che era spettacolare e proteica. Come piatto principale la scelta è ricaduta sull’hamburger Maha di funghi e noci con il loro cashew cheddar che ci ha sorpreso per la complessità dei suoi sapori! Le patate arrosto al rosmarino che l’accompagnavano erano davvero un tocco di classe degno di uno chef italiano ;)

Qualche riga a parte se la merita il Cheesecake Nirvana! L’unico piatto a cui ci siamo ricordati di scattare una foto tra l’altro. Un dessert crudo fenomenale a base di lime e avocado che non ha niente da invidiare a qualsiasi cosa piena di zucchero e creme a base di soia che potreste trovare in altri posti.

Qui lo dico e lo ripeti si mangia sano, abbondante ed i sapori sono delicati e intensi per chi li sa apprezzare.
Abbiamo speso meno di 700 THB in due, ci siamo divisi tutti i piatti e ce ne andiamo via con la pancia piena, le papille gustative che urlano di felicità ed il cuore leggero per aver mangiato sano e molto bene al tempo stesso! Tra l’altro la colonna sonora della serata era musica di un gusto delizioso perfettamente all’altezza dell’eleganza del posto! Grazie mille Santosa, ci ricorderemo di quest’esperienza meravigliosa a lungo!! 🙏🏽😍🤗

Very disappointing

We made a reservation for the buffet and received a reply. Got to the restaurant only to be told the buffet was moved til tomorrow! They didn’t tell us, and it wasn’t advertised even at the restaurant! To make matters worse, the 2 items we would
Have had from the a la carte menu, the pizza and burgers, were not available. They didn’t even tell us until we asked! We decided to go elsewhere. I’ll
try again someday, and hopefully change my review, but for now it’s a 2 star review!

Great Saturday Buffet

Was not disappointed waiting around for Saturday as a vegan tourist here. Pizzas, mains, salads and even a veg quiche were on the menu late in the evening!

Kind of pricey at 600 baht per person though, and no drinks included besides a kombucha shot.

The Ultimate Vegan Place

To die for. Lasagna. Mushroom Risotto. Veggie Sushi Roll. Lime Avocado cake. There may have been 1 or 2 other things: My husband an I over-ordered (although according to him, there is no such thing). He ate our left-over risotto for breakfast the next day. Beautiful atmosphere and great place to watch the sunset. I saw a previous review where the number of stairs were declared an issue, but there were only about 60 stairs so as long as you're not in a wheel chair, you should be able to access the restaurant just fine. Also, we didn't have the right change for our taxi driver and neither did the restaurant, so the restaurant actually spotted us the money before we actually ate there, something that I'd have never expected, but so appreciated. Please go visit this amazing find- you won't regret it!

Interesting food to enjoy with amazing view

We ate there.
I was surprised about people complaining about stairs ... Nothing to worry.
View is amazing 😍

Food is good,
interesting seaweed rolls made with veggies stuffing
Zucchini stuffed with pomodoro was delicious
Salad was excellent
Dessert was extremely enjoyable.

I'm really satisfied with the place
Staff was friendly.

For Thailand is little expensive if you just look at the price but I think affordable when you add the place, the depth of the menu and the tasteful experience.

Pros: Quality, View, Tasty

Cons: Little expensive, Road to access isn't so easy, Small menu

Too bad because the place is nice

Very few choice of dishes, most of the proposals on the menu were not available. We ordered 3 burgers and only 2 were available. We arrived at 7.50pm and the first thing the waiter told us was that the kitchen closes at 8.30pm. We were still eating and they forced us to pay the bill. Something like this has never happened to us, too bad because the place is nice...

Great view

A large menu and a great view however lots of the items were unavailable, that being said, still loads of options and ranging from raw to borderline junkfood. Would go back.

Pros: Great view, Decent priced

Cons: Lots of stuff on the menu that wasn't available

Nice food but not excellent

I expected more based on the comments here. We ordered the lasagna which was nice, the shake is nice but expensive, we ordered the zucchini pasta which I liked and my husband didn't at all. We also ordered a cake with raspberries for dessert but it arrived very frozen and was barely edible. disappointing!

Pros: Lots of veagn dish

Cons: The shake are expensive , The cake came frozen

Amazing food.

The food was unreal. I had the raw cashew nut pasta which was amazing. The peanut butter blondie was also great. The view even in the dark was too class. Only downside is their was no music/atmosphere. But definitely go just for the food.

Pros: Fully vegan, Priced ok apart from the wine, Big menu

Cons: Wine was expensive , No music, No beer

Excellent raw food lunch for a very affordable price. But to reach the reataurant with beautiful vieuw you have to climb many many stairs!!

Nice view!!

Lovely views but the food was pretty underwhelming.

Had the falafel bowl which was ok, but just felt like a few individual elements placed in a bowl to dip into the hummus. Needed some other elements or maybe a dressing to pull it all together. Fresh but all too simple, especially for the price.
The protein shake was pretty good but not worth the price either.

Was expecting good things from this place but left a little disappointed unfortunately.

Gorgeous View & Lovely Food!

A real treasure! I tried the creamy zuccini noodle pasta carbonara and the trio of interesting summer rolls. Finished off with a caramel treat with strawberry ice scream. I loved the clover sprouts, the dessert, the noodles. Spot on. Ten plus. This is new age vegan thai cuisine at it's finest, made properly in an incredible setting by incredible talent. Beautiful and worthwhile experience and a very valid reason to visit Phuket.

Pros: Ice Cream, Light, frefreshing, satisfied, drop dead gorgeous view

A lovely experience

What a little gem! Beautiful view, fantastic staff & service, creative, healthy menu - I really loved this place. The cheese board really exceeded my expectations - kudos to the chef! Menu is limited at the moment due to the restaurant recovering from Covid, but go and support this place, you won't be disappointed

Tasty, cheap, healthy, amazing view and great with kids

I did the buffet with my 3 year-old son and I found it really good. Many really healthy choices but also a bit of western style food. The salads and dressing were amazing and the dessert was huge and tasty. The view is really great and they were kind to the children. So all together a really nice place.

Pros: Cheap, Helathy, Complete vegan restaurant

Cons: Nothing

The Vegan Meet Up is amazing!

UPDATE: The vegan meetups haven't taken place in a long time due to Covid and because the restaurant changed chefs. Instead, there is a weekly vegan buffet which is often Indian-based and very, very yummy. You can eat as much as you like, so make sure to come with an empty stomach as you will want to devour eeeeeverything! Highly recommended, stunning views over Kata and the sea. Guaranteed romantic evening :-)


Every month, a vegan meet up holds place in this restaurant. I finally had a chance to attend and it was mindblowing! We had a 4 course meal, each more impressive than the other. I never go to fancy restaurants as I cannot afford it but Santosa is actually cheap for the exquisite service and food you receive. The meet up is 400 baht and guarantees hours of fun and pieces of art on your plate. The explosion of flavours is uncanny and I felt like a queen with every bite. If you want to be part of the meet up, check out their FB page and make sure you reserve a seat!

Amazing tasty, inventive and beautifully presented raw food

I have been here twice, one time when I first moved to Phuket and wanted a drink whilst I waited for my partner to do an English lesson nearby. I had a smoothie which was very nice and checked out the food menu for future reference. There was a huge variety of inventive meals and snacks with a healthy raw angle.

Then we came to eat here for the monthly vegan meet up which was astonishing food and great value for a beautifully presented (not something I really care about, it's all in the taste but deserves a mention because it looked very fancy) raw 3 course meal of Dragon fruit gaspacho soup, kelp spaghetti carbonara with aubergine bacon and orange cheesecake with chocolate ice cream. Haven't had the chance to return as it's not particularly near to my house but that's not through lack of desire!

Friendly staff, beautiful mountain and sea views.

That view though

The view from this restaurant is stunning. Unfortunately I thought their food was a bit tasteless, and I did try a couple of different things. Not for me, but maybe for someone else!

Absolutely amazing and beautiful food

We were there for Valentines day. The dinner was so beautifully made. It was delicious and tasted really healthy. It felt just good to eat it. I can suggest everyone to go eat there. Even for meatlovers it can be an amazing new experience.
