Excellent food and fantastic value for money. Don't be put off by the ambiance. We spent three evenings with family and we all loved it.

We are frequently guests at Pesto and the quality,taste and pricing are unbeatable for a Phuket restaurant especially in the laguna area.Only the freshest products are cooked. Even that the seating is quiet simple the most important is what you get on the table. And that is top ! Service is friendly. He is the only one in the area... More

The food in this place is just fantastic. Haute cuisine for a ridiculous low price... We have been here 5 times during our stay and never disappointed us. Both the European (the Thai chef/owner worked for a couple of years France) and the Thai dishes are very good. My favorite is the Penang curry with fish, simply delicious... Highly recommended!

Pesto is unbeatable in the cheap and cheerful (yet excellent) category. Always great food, and more importantly its consistent. I might complain that they often don't have some of the meals on the menu (especially the lamb) but that's sometimes the price to pay for freshness I guess...

Excellent, home cooked ingredients. Food was exquisite and fresh. Great choice of food, excellent value for money. Owners, chefs and staff extremely accommodating lovely people. Shame we only found it for the last 2 days of our holiday. Richards family x 8.

We were taken to Pesto by a Thai friend. When we arrived it looked very basic and was not expecting much. There is certainly nothing to entice you in, but if you find yourself there you will not be disappointed. The food was certainly not basic, in fact it was excellent. The service was fast and efficient. The Thai dishes... More

This is a really nice little restaurant, bit of a limited selection in the mediterranean menu but the awesome food and really fair pricing make this my go-to place in phuket. The Thai menu is also great and very extensive. The restaurant and seats are very basic but still somewhat cosy and the service can be a bit slow when... More

We ate here twice during our stay at the Laguna resort, after it was recommended to us. From the outside it does not look good. It is set back from the road across an unlit gravel path. The building is wrought iron pillars supporting a corrugated iron roof. Tables and chairs are old with sauce bottles on some of the... More

Being a welcome dinner guest at a restaurant I may expect to be treated as such. At the 'Pesto' my wife and I didn't feel that way at all. To be precise: The unkind waitress with her inadequate way of addressing all her guests, male and female (not only us, other guests as well!) as 'Ladies' was not only far... More
