Fine Dining in Phuket on the Romantic Moon Terrace
The Moon Terrace at Metadee Concept Hotel has emerged as a gleaming example of fine dining in Phuket, its world-class cuisine and picturesque views offer guests a dining experience rarely found anywhere else. As one of the most romantic restaurants in Phuket, its breathtaking vistas of the Andaman Sea in conjunction with the watchful presence of the Big Buddha atop jungle-covered Nakkerd Hill crafts an intimate setting for diners.
Among the best restaurants in Phuket with a view, Moon Terrace sets itself apart with two distinct dining spaces. The first decision presented to guests is a simple one, “Do you want to sit inside or outside?”. Close your eyes for a second, and just imagine the interior.
The gold-blue colour accents, feel the thousands of tiny lights illuminating the room, reminiscent of a Rolls-Royce starlight headliner. Not to be outdone, the outdoor terrace provides a 360-degree panorama of the coastline, demonstrating why Moon Terrace is one of, if not the best rooftop restaurant in Kata.
When we think of art, we imagine paintings, sculptures, or even music. But food can be art too, and the menu here perfectly bridges the gap between local and Mediterranean cuisine. Upon glancing at the menu, we are presented with the best of both worlds, authentic Italian cuisine in one the finest seafood restaurants in Phuket.
As an appetiser, their newest addition to the menu, the smoked duck, served with slices of orange, radishes, ruby-red lettuce topped with a Dijon dressing, plus raspberry compote stewed in sugar syrup will leave you yearning for more.
In showcasing the diverse foods in Phuket, and being so close to the sea, we’d be silly to miss out on Moon Terrace’s freshly caught Andaman Sea white snapper, prepared with Mediterranean herbs and accompanied by local vegetables and house-made tomato salsa.
While Moon Terrace isn’t necessarily coined as an Italian restaurant in Phuket, many Italian classics have found their way onto the menu, and they certainly do not disappoint with classics such as Napolitana Pasta, tossed with tomato sauce, fresh Italian basil, and sprinkled with parmesan cheese – or Italian Minestrone, or Porcini mushrooms with Italian sausage, cream, truffle salsa and stretched-curd Scamorza cheese.
For desserts, the Panna Cotta awaits, a dainty Italian custard with heavy cream, unflavoured gelatine, sugar, homemade strawberry, and peppermint topped with blueberry and orange. We hope you’re not lactose intolerant!
Of course, there is no fine dining in Phuket without pairing your meal with wines from Moon Terrace’s extensive cellar. In upkeeping the seaside atmosphere, light-bodied whites should be chosen to complement their seafood offerings.
The soft, warm glow of neon light illuminating the dining area adds to the gentle piano jazz, filling up the room. Really, it is no secret that Moon Terrace is the place to be for fine dining in Phuket, and it all comes down to attention to detail. It’s when dining is reflected through art, illuminated and elevated by the setting around you, then you have found the true definition of fine dining.
As one of the leading restaurants in Kata Beach Phuket, Moon Terrace’s position above Metadee Concept’s signature swimming pools meandering through the premises, combined with the accents of beige, blue, white, and gold depicts a design language chosen to capture, and underscore the ocean’s mood with intent.
