Eating on Phi Phi: FAQs
What food is Phi Phi known for?
Phi Phi is best known for fresh seafood — grilled fish, prawns and squid pulled from the Andaman that morning — alongside classic Thai dishes like pad thai, green curry and mango sticky rice. The island also has a surprisingly international scene, with Italian, Mediterranean, Indian and healthy café food all well represented in the village between Tonsai and Loh Dalum bays.
Where is the best place to eat on Phi Phi Island?
The highest-rated spots cluster in the walkable village on Phi Phi Don. Pirates House and ACQUA are perennial favourites for a sit-down dinner, As Good and Thai Sea draw rave reviews, and JaJa Café leads the healthy-eating pack. Because everything is within a few minutes’ walk, the easiest approach is to wander the village in the evening and pick whatever looks good.
Is food expensive on Phi Phi?
Food on Phi Phi is a little pricier than the Thai mainland because almost everything is shipped in by boat, but it’s still affordable by Western standards. Street food and casual Thai meals are cheap; beachfront seafood dinners and Western restaurants cost more. You’ll find options for every budget within a short walk of the pier.
Do I need to book a table on Phi Phi?
For most casual spots, no — you can simply turn up. The most popular sunset and beachfront restaurants can fill up in high season, so if you have your heart set on a specific table after a day on the boats, it’s worth reserving earlier in the day.
Eating well on Phi Phi
Most restaurants cluster in the walkable village between Tonsai and Loh Dalum bays, so you can wander and choose on the night. Book a sunset table after a day trip — see our Maya Bay tours and where to stay on Phi Phi, or plan the wider trip with our Phi Phi Islands guide.
