About This Spot

Nestled along the peaceful waterfront of Phuket’s Panwa area, BAMBI invites you into a relaxed refuge where the rhythms of the sea meet the warmth of home. As you approach, there’s a quiet ease in the air—an unhurried pace that encourages you to breathe in the salty breeze and settle into the gentle hum of chatter and clinking glasses. The view itself offers a soft invitation to pause and take in the moment: boats glide slowly by, and the horizon stretches wide, grounding your senses with its calm presence.

Inside, BAMBI feels like a thoughtful balance between comfort and simple elegance. The space welcomes you with friendly smiles that are as genuine as the food served, a family’s shared love for both Thai and international flavors evident in every detail. There’s a soothing vibrancy here, where the familiar mingles effortlessly with subtle surprises—from the fragrant, zesty aromas that float from the kitchen to the cozy corners perfect for lingering conversations.

The menu reflects this blend of local roots and worldly touches, where traditional Thai dishes sit comfortably alongside pasta infused with fresh local seafood and hearty steaks accompanied by creamy mash. Whether you’re savoring a tangy Tom Yum soup that dances on your palate or enjoying a sweet mango juice that tastes like sunshine in a glass, the food feels crafted with care—each bite a quiet celebration of place and season.

Evenings at BAMBI carry a soft glow, enhanced by the gentle light fading over the water and the subtle energy of a community coming together. It’s the kind of place where a meal can be both an escape and an embrace—whether you’re seeking a break from the bustling city or a spot to share simple pleasures with friends and family.

Ultimately, BAMBI offers more than just a restaurant experience. It’s a sanctuary where the natural beauty of Phuket’s coastline frames moments of connection, where food expresses love and tradition, and where every visit feels like discovering a secret well worth coming back to.

I would say this is the best restaurant in Panwa, Phuket. Good in both Thai and International food , good service , beautiful setting and the sea is just right in front of you. This can be my escape place from a crazy and busy city. With the restaurant, they also operate the FREE DIVING CENTER and 2 ROOMS available for daily rent. The room is really spacious with living area with private bathroom. And it can accommodate for more than 2 persons. I would visit there again if I go back to Phuket. Bravo!!

This place is 1 month old at the time of writing (August 2024). Every thing is top notch. The restaurant is a family business (son and mother) and you can see they put a lot of love in this restaurant. The food is amazing, super tasty and you will find all the classics from Thai cuisine. It sets close to the promenade of Panwa View. Don’t hesitate to stop and eat there. You will not be disappointed. Note that there are 2 rooms that you can book and stay and soon a free diving centre. Watch this space ; it will go trendy sooner that you think! So go earlier:)

We couldn’t recommend BAMBI Restaurant more highly! We’re currently staying at the Amatara Welleisure Resort, and it’s just a short walk from the hotel. Wanting to explore the area, we came across this gem and have now had dinner here two nights in a row. The staff are incredibly friendly, speak excellent English, and every dish is authentic and bursting with flavor. The morning glory is an absolute standout—our favorite dish so far! We’ll likely be back for dinner a few more times before we leave the area. Highly recommend checking it out!

A perfect evening at Bambi restaurant! My wife and I had a fantastic dinner at Bambi Restaurant. The garlic prawns with steamed rice were perfectly cooked and flavorful, while the shrimp noodles were fresh and delicious. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was a tropical delight, and the signature flamed banana stole the show with its dramatic presentation and caramelized sweetness. The cozy ambiance and attentive staff made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back for another memorable meal!

True Thai classic. Food arrived surprisingly fast, even when the place was packed. Staff speaks English and is open to special requests. Many options for vegetarian and vegan. Portions are giant!! Very Thai feeling in the place (all bamboo furniture) & beautiful ocean view. It’s been a delightful experience really. Food was mildly spiced, not so spicy and greasy like many Thai places tend to. I liked it. I Came twice and enjoyed it both times! Thanks so much :-)

I absolutely love Bambi Restaurant! The food is always delicious and clearly prepared with care and passion by a very experienced chef. I’ve been there multiple times, and not once has the food disappointed me. The restaurant itself has a unique style, and the atmosphere is as cozy and welcoming as its name suggests. The service is excellent, and all the staff are warm and friendly, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food in a lovely setting!
