The a la carte Sunday Brunch from Pine Beach Bar, located within the InterContinental Phuket Resort, is a feast for the senses, with perfectly executed cuisine inspired from Thailand and the Western world.
The Sunday Brunch at Pine Beach Bar is a one-of-a-kind dining offer The Guide Phuket had the pleasure to try a few weeks ago.
The venue successfully manages to capture the beach vibe, with the white, powdery sand of Kamala Beach located just a few steps away. You can choose to enjoy your brunch al fresco, on their large terrace, or within the comfort of their air-conditioned restaurant.
For starters, a selection of six delicate appetizers will be served to be shared with your table. We really enjoyed the Organic Truffle Poached Egg, served with truffle hollandaise and aged parmesan cheese, and their signature Som Tum, which comes complete with sea grapes, long bean, and Phuket dried shrimps.
Following the appetizers, we were served a succulent Lobster House Made Pasta with Canadian lobster chunks, organic grown cherry’s tomatoes, passata sauce, a richer version of your traditional tomato sauce offering the perfect blend with the lobster.
Each diner can then select two main dishes from the menu; we chose the Catch of the Day, a steamed sea bass with Thai sauces and lemon, the classic Pad Thai Goong, with fresh Andaman prawns, chives, bean sprout, tofu, and shallots, a stunning Wagyu Beef Burger, served with chunky fries, and the Unagi Don, a Japanese delicacy made with sea eel, Teriyaki, pickled ginger, Kochihikari rice, and Sansho pepper.
In between two bites of your main dishes, you are encouraged to try their free-flow of homemade, wood oven-baked pizzas. We went ahead and ordered the Truffle Pizza with mozzarella, dry porcini, black truffle paste, parmesan, and truffle, and the Bresaola Pizza, made with fresh tomato sauce, Fior di latte, bresaola, parmesan, local rocket, and extra virgin olive oil.
The pizzas were so good that we decided to continue our journey with a special dessert: the Nutella Pizza, large enough to be shared with your friends or family.
The brunch is available every Sunday from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm and gives you access to the swimming pool of the resort. Priced at THB 1,900++ per person, you will enjoy half a bottle of Champagne in addition to your food. Early bird offers are available should you book at least three days in advance, reducing the price to THB 1,650++ per person.
