Roti Thaew Nam — Restaurant in Ratsada

“Roti Thaew Nam, Phuket – A Simple Yet Special Breakfast”

This morning started with a search for a local breakfast that’s unpretentious but packed with unforgettable flavors. Roti Thaew Nam is a humble little spot that pays attention to every dish, and it’s no surprise that it’s been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, a mark of great taste and value.

Dishes we tried: • Roti with Fried Egg: Crispy yet soft roti served with a perfectly cooked fried egg. Each bite is a reminder that simplicity can be truly satisfying. • Beef Curry: Rich and flavorful curry with a bold taste of spices. The beef isn’t melt-in-your-mouth tender but has a satisfying chewiness that adds character. • Massaman Chicken Curry: Sweet and creamy with a delightful aroma of spices and peanuts. The chicken is tender, and pairing it with roti makes every bite irresistible. • Fish Curry: Smooth and balanced with a slight tanginess that adds a refreshing touch. The fish is fresh and firm, bringing the sea’s essence to the table. • Hot Tea: A small cup of southern-style tea with a mild, aromatic flavor. Not overly sweet, it perfectly complements the meal.

What impressed us: The Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition speaks volumes about the quality and value of this place. Despite the accolades, the restaurant maintains a cozy, down-to-earth charm with clean, simple stainless steel tables and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels distinctly local.

Roti Thaew Nam is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination for perfectly balanced flavors in a laid-back setting. Every bite reflects the care and passion that go into the cooking. If you’re in Phuket, this is a breakfast spot you simply can’t miss—it might just become one of the stories you’ll want to share for...

If you want to experience a true asian breakfast go have breakfast here: I'd advise early in the morning rather than approaching closing time. You will get to have breakfast with local people and witness the roti and eggs cooking on the hot plate: to me it's fantastic and I prefer it much more than going to all those west-inspired cafes where you will pay $$ for a fancy avocado toast. I ordered crispy roti with 2 eggs + the beef massaman curry: they were divine and gave me the right kick to start off the day. I am definitely going back as well as would...

There is no doubt why this place has been on Michelin Bib Gourmand list for 7 consecutive years. The food is absolutely amazing. The service is quick and the menu is in Thai and English. No problem if your don’t speak Thai.

I ordered beef curry, two plain roti and chicken sausage with lemon Thai tea. The beef was tender and seasoned just enough to have a little bite but not overpowering. The roti was perfect complement to the curry. The chicken sausage was good. But those three things were just a bit too much for one person.
