Gorgeous View & Lovely Food! - Edit
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.

A lovely experience - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

The Vegan Meet Up is amazing! - Edit
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 :-)
Read moreEvery 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 - Edit
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.
Read moreThen 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 - Edit
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!

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.

Excellent food, stunning view, lousy staff - Edit
The vegan buffet was delicious! Great concept! Wish we could find more food like yours! We enjoyed it very much and i took my time to discover the tastes. Your location is super and has a hard to beat view. However, the overal vibe was not so hospitable. Maybe some candles on the tables? Better music? After half an hour - i had taken little food (staff should pay attention to this), a menu was shoved into our table "ready for dessert?" Than 15min later, again the waiter wanted to take my plate while there was still some food on it. And he is a bit posh, why? sorry, he has not got the sweet friendly Thai personality we like so much. We were with few customers but my husband had to wave around and it was hard to get the waiter's attention since he was talking/laughing with colleague (this was on Saturday and also during the week - we visited twice). It felt we were a burden to the staff, maybe this is only a feeling and i hope i am wrong. So overal: location and food: 5 stars, staff: 1.

Good restaurant. Dont take the small offroad - Edit
I tried to follow direction from previous review and still took the wrong turn. Stay on the main road and you will see the big sign.
Read moreNow to the restaurant ..
It is set up with nice views. The food is well presented and tasted good. It is very hard to find such good food nearby. The price of around 200 baht for main meals is fair especially for the generous portion size. I left feeling very full. Water is also given on tap.
The staff are very friendly and speak perfect English.
I would not come every day and my wallet wont let me but it is great for a treat once or twice a week.
Pros: Good food , Views , Good spoken English
Cons: A little Far from town, Map needs changing

Stunning view – stunning food. Expensive though. - Edit
Prices are rather high for Phuket, which is understandable since this restaurant is part of a fancy pants yoga place. But: You’ll get a really stunning view from the hill on to the island and the sea and the food is really, really good. Def recommend the cheese platter and the red house wine.

Great Vegan Food - Edit
Large variety of raw and cooked vegan food. The “cheese” platter is worth trying as a starter. Very tasty food in a nice terrace looking at the sea at the distance.
Read moreGoogle maps has the wrong indication and asks you to turn left one street ahead. Follow the main road signs.

Not vegan as advertised - Edit
Restaurant is vegetarian, not vegan as advertised. They use honey and bee pollen for some drinks. I quized the staff on this, they didn't seem to want to talk to me about it. Otherwise, my experience was okay
Read moreWe had two fresh juices each and they were good quality, 160 baht each so price is expensive as expected for the type of establishment; it's a posh feeling place as it is a health resort also. Great views of the mountains around. It's a nice peaceful place to sit but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again, we only stopped because it was on route during our 5h walk to Big Buddah.
Pros: Good views of mountains around, Quiet area, Good fresh juice menu
Cons: Not vegan as stated, staff do not understand, Expensive

The restaurant is a pure vegan restaurant. They only have honey in the juice bar in case some guests need to add into the ginger tea.

Expensive, meh, with a view! - Edit
The place is a bit upscale, expensive even for Phuket standards, but a stunning ocean view in the hill. Female server wasn’t terribly friendly.
Read moreI had the pizza, super salty and oily crust, but otherwise decent. My son had a bland tofu sandwich. My wife had the zucchini carbonara, fairy bland too although the zucchini replacement to pasta was interesting.

Nice place, no seasoning - Edit
Was excited to try due the fact that was vegan, the food was bland. I understand their are more of a healthy vegan restaurant but even went I cook with no oil and low salt I can come up with more flavorful dishes. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes? Well who knows...

Fresh & healthy vegan food restaurant with a stunning view. Come for sunset it’s magical.
Read moreThey recently changed their menu and even if it was already good, it became fantastic ❤️
I came with a non-vegan friend who asked me to come back the next week. We had the pizza, the cannelloni and the « tuna » tartare.. amazing! They also make their own Kombucha, try the cinnamon one 🤤
If you have a chance to come on Saturday, try the vegan buffet... 🔥🔥

Fresh and healthy - Edit
There were loads of interesting food choices everything felt super fresh and healthy, it is a bit higher end and the price is higher but the portions are big so it is justified I think! I had the luminesence juice which was delicious, the prana bowl which was fresh and filling, and tasted the peanutbutter blondie which was SO GOOD very much recommend that one! And the vanilla icecream was delish.

Absolutely fantastic! - Edit
If you're in Phuket, don't miss up this one, this is the best vegan on the island! Everything I tasted was absolutely fabulous, including the selection of raw gourmet dishes. You can see that the food is prepared with great care and superbly realised! You don't find easily this level of quality, even in Europe. Their new Chef, Teresa, is passionate about this type of cuisine, she's vegan herself and into activism. Go there, you'll thank me for that 😄
