Introducing Chef Chalermwut (Nui) Srivolalkul, Chef de Cuisine at Jaras Restaurant

Chef Nui’s culinary curiosity started at the tender age of seven when he helped his mother prepare family meals. His keen interest in various cuisines inspired him to learn about a range of cooking styles and dishes with one goal in mind - using that knowledge to make the very best Thai cuisine. His passion for Thai cuisine is an ode to his mother, so he ensures each dish is made with the same love that goes into a home-cooked meal.

As the Chef de Cuisine at Jaras, Chef Nui is responsible for crafting modern Thai dishes with progressive presentation using the finest sustainable ingredients from local farmers and fishers. Chef Nui leads guests on a gastronomic journey, drawing inspiration from his Thai roots to deliver a memorable culinary experience in a fine dining setting.

Although proud of all of the delectable dishes on the menu at Jaras, Chef Nui recommends the Look Choke Curry. This signature dish uses local ingredients from Phang Nga province, fermented in-house at the restaurant’s fermentation lab. Don’t miss this incredibly unique dish, only served at Jaras.

He also recommends Choo Chii Goong, a delicious “zero waste” menu item. The entire shrimp is used to prepare this dish - even the head and shell are used to create the prawn bisque, served along with homemade curry using organic ingredients.

Throughout his career, Chef Nui has received a number of accolades and awards, including:

Food promotion in Singapore with Chef Henrik, owner of Kiin Kiin - a one Michelin-star restaurant

Food collaboration with Chef Chumpol and the team from R Harn - a one Michelin-star restaurant

Chef’s Assistant to Chef Alan Passard, French chef and owner of L’Arpège - a three Michelin-star restaurant in Paris - for a food promotion at Issaya Siamese Club in 2019

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!"


The extensive wine list of L’ARÔME BY THE SEA has already been awarded as one of the Best Wine List by Star Wine List.

Situated atop L'ARÔME BY THE SEA, the sunset deck offers an ideal spot to relish imported seafood, champagne, and witness the sun dipping below the horizon. Guests can indulge in a range of French oysters, caviar, and other fish roes, paired with meticulously chosen champagnes. The Deck operates from 4pm until late into the night.

WE SERVE ONY AUTHENTIC TURKISH DISHES AND WOULD LOVE TO WELCOME YOU!

The reviews don’t lie. This place is awesome. Delicious food. Great hospitality. We really enjoyed the grilled mixed kebab plate for 2 (great value and full of flavour!) and the kids had a cheese pied that disappeared in 30s flat! We enjoyed complimentary bread and Turkish tea. Will be back!

Walked to this place for lunch, first we were warmly greeted by one of the waiter at the patio and got seated in a nice table by the window. There were so many food varieties on the menu, but we manage to order an appetizer plus kahab meal for two. The food was delicious and they offered us free tea as well. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you ever come to Phuket!

This place is amazing! Second time I’ve came here to eat. First time was in October. Delicious in October, delicious now! Service is so friendly and checks on your needs. Great Turkish food! The bread is heavenly, just like anything else on the menu. Don’t forget to have your Turkish tea after your meal :D

THAI BRASSERIE Phuket by Blue Elephant has a Contemporary Design, Young and Vibrant at heart, at par with a Creative Thai Cuisine. Keeping the rich Heritage of Thai kitchen in mind, Chef Dudu (Cordon Bleu London), Chef Chai (Suan Dusit), Chef Pop (Rajamangala Krungthep University) have elaborated a fragrant innovative menu, under the vigilant eye of Chef Nooror Somany Steppe, the emblematic Master Chef of the Blue Elephant Group.

The alacart menu, pad-Thai and papaya sea-grape salad was too saucy & sweet. We didn’t finish them and say another couple left the pad-Thai too.. perhaps it was just today ‍ However the appetiser platter of 5 items was not bad though I think maybe over-rated. The set meal was really good though. A go to for an experience, photo taking and service perhaps .. but it’s way over-priced if you want just traditional Thai food - but this is definitely Thai fine dining ;) But if you are going to check this place out, I’d recommend to go for the set menu - so far all items from set menu was good thank you!

Blue Elephant was ecommended by a guest at The Shore at Katatani ( a great resort) . Were there in early May 2022. Loved the ambience and of course the food was the highlight. You can choose the level of spiciness which was great. Service was also very attentive. Going again on 9th July 2022 for lunch, this time we will bring along our adult children to introduce this wonderful restaurant to them. This time with more people we are able to order more dishes to try. Really looking forward to this meal which is tomorrow.

Booked for my husbands birthday we really enjoyed the excellent food and service. Lovely old mansion turned into a wonderful restaurant.

A nice restaurant for a special occasion. It is air conditioned with comfortable chairs, wide tables, and great service. We lingered over lunch and drinks for approximately 3.5 hours meeting up with old friends, also on holiday from Australia. 2 Pax enjoyed the 2 course lunch special, which was a tasting plate (consisting of 3 seafood, 1 chicken and 1 mushroom dish) and cheesecake. 2 pax ordered from the A la carte menu. Certainly not a cheap meal but enjoyable.

This was one of the best ever meals we have experienced in Thailand.We asked our taxi to stop somewhere for lunch and he took us to the Blue Elephant because he could park. The colonial style house looked fabulous and when we walked inside and saw the table settings we thought we might not be able to afford a lunch.The staff were great and very helpful with menu choices.We all decided on the 5 course lunch special and we were blown away by the presentation and tastes. Definitely an experience not to miss in Phuket Town.

I booked this as part of my partner’s birthday celebration prior to arriving at Phuket. I also added an additional query (not request, mind you) if the establishment has an birthday cake that I could purchased. To which, I did not hear any response from the restaurant. And I left it at that. On the day of our reservation, my partner and I had some slight disagreement, and we were definitely not in the best of mood to have that dinner. But we went ahead anyway. The local food choice was fantastic.

Super friendly stuff. Delicious local food at luxury mansion, really best during 4 months in Phuket. Small beautiful touches make food outstanding. Big parking lot with 2 entrances saves traffic anxiety)

At first, we couldn't find the restaurant. It is located a little further down the main street compared to the gps pin. Don't let you fool from the first look, the food is amazing! Lots of typical thai dishes to choose from. We had Pad Thai noodles and a green soy curry. The food was delicious, the two women running the shop were friendly and cooked our food in front of us (best proof of freshness :)) would recommend the fried shrimps as a starter, it was delicious. There weren't any reviews over the past years which left us struggling at first, but yes: it's open and food seems to be as good as ever before.

Good Thai food in town. We have Pad Thai, Green Curry with Chicken n Fired rice. Tase good and the price is reasonable. We back here 2 times within 1 days. :) Highly recommended !!
