Tony stands out in a crowd at Karon

Tony, Karon Beach

Friday, March 7, 2008
Best Restaurant of 2008 contender

Telephone: 076 398120-2

Open: 7am-10.30am

Address: 699 Patak Road, Karon Beach 83100

Style: Beachside Thai/International

Price range: Inexpensive. American breakfast (150 baht) Thai breakfast (80 baht) Prawn soup Thai style (150 baht) tiger prawn casserole (600 baht) fried squid with curry (120 baht) bbq fish (350 baht) chicken maryland (200 baht) rock lobster tail (380 baht) Singha beer (60/100 baht).

What Phuketwan says: The expectation might be that Tony is Italian. He's not. He's Thai, and the restaurant has been operating since 2000. The good thing about Tony is that it's open year-round, so there's never a problem finding a place to eat at the northern end of Karon beach. Compared to the southern end and the middle, the northern end is quite quirky and much, much more relaxed. Tony offers meals indoors or under umbrellas and there's usually a gaggle of customers in high season. Sustaining rather than sensational, meals here are something to enjoy while taking a break from the sand. The roadway is unmade and diners cross it wearing whatever they happen to have on at the beach.Like many Thai places, it has a few menu misplacements. Under entrees you will find t-bone steak (450 baht) and fillet mignon (350 baht). And of course you can get a pizza.

How to find it: Instead of turning right at the northern end of Karon to swing back towards Patong, go straight along the beachfront and eventually you will reach a rather impressive sculpture at a roundabout. Tony is a little further along.

Parking: Plenty here but not much under the shade of the casuarinas.

Phuketwan restaurant reviewers pay for their meals. If someone else does, we tell you so
