A Hidden Organic Farm-to-Table Restaurant in Kata-Karon

If you’re looking for a local Thai restaurant in Phuket that blends authentic flavors, organic ingredients, and a natural atmosphere, Greenheart Garden Restaurant is your answer. Tucked away in the Kata-Karon area, this hidden gem offers more than a meal—it’s a peaceful escape. Surrounded by lush greenery and cooled by a sea breeze, every visit feels like stepping into another world. With scenic ocean views and a calm garden setting, Greenheart Garden is where great taste and serenity meet. It’s a must-visit farm-to-table restaurant in southern Phuket for anyone seeking both flavor and tranquility.

“Mae Luan,” the heart behind Greenheart Garden, tells the story of how it all began—with love for family and a desire to live sustainably. Her father once practiced single-crop farming, which was risky and only gave one harvest a year. But things changed when they adopted the sufficiency economy ideas of King Rama IX. They transformed the same land into a thriving organic farm. With mixed crops and year-round harvests, their farm became a model for resilience, rooted in care, balance, and the belief that good things should be shared.

Once they saw how fresh and flavorful their produce was, Mae Luan had a thought: “Why not let others taste this too?” That idea sparked the creation of Greenheart Garden Restaurant—a farm-to-table dining experience using homegrown, chemical-free ingredients. Every dish is crafted with care, using vegetables, herbs, and fruits picked straight from the garden. One highlight is the Chicken & Banana Coconut Curry, made with free-range chicken and sweet bananas from their own trees, simmered in rich, freshly pressed coconut milk. It’s a rare southern recipe you won’t easily find elsewhere, and its comforting taste keeps guests coming back again and again.

Another must-try is the Nam Prik Pla Ching Chang—a spicy fermented fish chili paste made with tiny dried fish known for their savory depth. Pair it with warm jasmine rice or fresh vegetables straight from the garden, and you’ll get a bite that’s bold, balanced, and unforgettable. But Greenheart Garden isn’t just about great food. It’s a force for good in the local community—offering jobs to residents in Kata-Karon, promoting sustainable organic farming, and serving as a community enterprise. Here, every meal supports a greater cause—uplifting lives, preserving nature, and passing on traditions that feed both body and soul.
