Elevated Epicurean Journeys at The Nai Harn

Savour gastronomic bliss with a side of spectacular seascapes at The Nai Harn Phuket, Thailand. This beachside haven is upholding its reputation as one of the best places to eat on the island with the introduction of two classic European dishes – with a twist.

Located on a hill, the resort’s Cosmo Restaurant headed by Executive Chef Mark, offers sweeping views over the shimmering ocean combined with exquisite cuisine. Classically trained in the culinary arts, Chef Mark has honed his skills by working in Michelin-starred restaurants. His passion for using only the finest and freshest produce ensures that each dish at Cosmo Restaurant highlights the natural flavours of the ingredients.

Tournedo Rossini

Ebony Black Angus Tenderloin steak topped with pan-fried red label Foie Gras, porcini mushrooms, black truffle potato puree, wilted spinach and port wine jus

The spectacularly rich and decadent Tournedo Rossini was created and named in honour of the Italian composer Gioachino Antonio Rossini by the 19th-century chef Casimir Moissons. Chef Mark has chosen a slightly lower marble score beef cut to contrast the richness of the indulgent foie gras. The Ebony is produced from carefully selected prime quality Australian Black Angus cattle and grain finished for 150 days. This delivers a perfectly marbled product that is juicy, tender and brimming with flavour.

Beer Battered Atlantic Haddock

Cooked in duck fat with triple cooked chips, crushed peas with butter and black pepper, tartar sauce and lemon

The UK tradition of eating fried battered fish was introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants who spent time in the Netherlands before settling in the UK in the 16th century. Haddock is a northern Atlantic fish related to cod. It has a mildly sweet taste and is ideal for frying and serving with chips. Chef Mark has devised a technique so the fish is seasoned from the inside out, thus delivering a stunningly flaky white fish. This dish is sure to satisfy those fish and chip cravings!
