The Brightside Bistro ☀️ — Restaurant in Krabi Province

It’s a great place for homemade style dishes and all-day breakfast with a chillax vibe.

The owners are hands-on and run the place with passion, geared toward sustainability.

On my first visit, I tried many things on the menu for my dinner. Normally I have a light dinner, but that night I couldn’t resist trying several dishes and totally stuffing myself!

I started with the fresh-squeezed tangerine juice. As expected, it was indeed fresh and delicious, made from real tangerines, and without any syrup or other additives, giving me total refreshment from the sticky southern Thai climate.

One yummy beverage was not enough. So next I tried the hot chocolate, which the owner recommended. It sounds weird to have a hot drink in an open-air restaurant in Thailand, buuuuut the taste was rich in cacao flavour and not too sweet. So far it’s my favorite hot chocolate ever! I totally wanted a second cup, but had to save room for the food.

The Tuscan Chicken Pasta was my first choice for main course. It was made with organic chicken, locally sourced in Krabi, so this dish kept me on my organic diet routine. Btw, I just love how the husband/wife owners are directly involved in carefully selecting all ingredients for the menu. And all i can say is, Wow! The homemade pasta was tender, sauce was perfectly creamy and rich in cheese, and you could clearly taste that the chicken meat was organic quality, not your typical store-bought product.

Finally, I had a bowl of salad and a smoothie cup too. Everything was so yummy and satisfied my tummy. This is my new comfort place in Krabi. I will go back to support your business for sure.

If I were one of those hard working digital nomads, I would bring my laptop along and work there from breakfast till dinner, several days a week to keep me fueled with yummy...

You won’t believe the hidden gem I stumbled upon near Ao Nang Beach—it's called TheBrightSide, and it's tucked away in an alley so well, you’d probably miss it if you weren’t looking. But once you find it, oh man, you're in for a treat!

The place feels like stepping into someone’s cozy kitchen. The smell of freshly baked bread and home-cooked breakfast just wraps you in a warm hug. And the staff? They’re amazing! I dropped my fork, and before I could even think about picking it up, they had a new one on my table. That’s how on top of things they are.

Everything’s homemade—I'm talking pancakes, bread, you name it. And it’s all prepared with this homely touch that’s just... perfect. Their breakfast platters and freshly baked bread are the highlights; you can really taste the love in every bite.

Ao Nang Beach is the nearest landmark, giving you a fantastic view to start your morning. If you’re anywhere near this area, you have to hunt down TheBrightSide. It’s the kind of spot that just makes your day with great food and even better vibes.

So far the best place in Ao Nang. The Golden Lattè (Haldi Doodh) is recommended for lovers of spicy milky drinks. I took it cold, but hot is also optional. 4.5/5. The Panna Cotta Affogato is nice. The combination between the sweetness of the Panna Cotta and the sourness of the espresso shot makes a good combination. 4/5. The gluten-free pasta (Pasta Al Limone & Chorizo) was very good. We got pepperoni instead of chorizo, but it's still delicious. 4.5/5. The Eggs, Toast & Bacon is a pretty good meal as the omelet had cheese inside it, which makes it a proper combination. 4.5/5. The cold Sangria was very good. 4.5/5. The orange juice was good too. 4/5. The staff was very nice and except for the pasta that took a bit of time to arrive, everything came very fast. 5/5. The atmosphere is nice with calm western music, and the place itself is not on the main street but inside an alley, which gives it a big advantage. 4.5/5. Even though the place is a bit expensive, I do recommend this place so much that if there is only one place to choose in this town,...
