Best French Restaurants In Phuket Near Me

4worldlovers: "Schweizer Star Im Ausland (Swiss Star Abroad): Yannick Hollenstein runs one of the best restaurants on the holiday island and impresses with "L'Arôme by the Sea", right by the sea, especially with excellent seafood. The passionate chef and fisherman has "come to Phuket" to stay. GaultMillau distinguishes him as a "Swiss star abroad", and two of his former bosses are also happy about this: August Minikus and Andreas Caminada."

Our Chief Sommelier, Mario Sirignano, oversees our wine program. Our wine menu boasts more than 200 varieties, predominantly from France, with an emphasis on Bordeaux and Burgundy. Besides, Mario's selection encompasses numerous lesser-known appellations, showcasing the extensive terroir found in French wines and the vast array of styles that pair excellently with the culinary creations of Chef Yannick Hollenstein.

Mario takes great pleasure in sharing his passion for wines with our customers on a daily basis and according to him:

"Our cellar reflects the richness and diversity of French vineyards but not only that, we have also included some selections from across the world which help to elevate the overall offering giving guests a taste of what is not always possible in French winemaking. At L’Arome our cuisine is heavily influenced by the sea and this goes hand in hand with our current wine selection which has a heavier focus on white wines with texture and acidity to pair with the freshly caught seafood on offer.


Each bottle and vintage is delicately balanced and I hope that my understanding of these can help to enhance the overall experience for guests in our restaurant.

I have selected what are my current favourites and we have some unmissable and great oenological discoveries in store for you!"
