BRASSERIE, PHUKET TOWN<br />

At the centre of Old Phuket lays<br />

a beating, Belgian heart. As its<br />

legions of admirers will confi rm,<br />

Brasserie gets everything right,<br />

from its authentic menu (including<br />

the best fries on the island,<br />

cooked in mutton oil and served<br />

with homemade mayonnaise) to<br />

its range of Belgian beers, from<br />

Stella Artois, to the less common,<br />

refreshing pale ale Leff e blond<br />

and the rich taste of the Floris<br />

chocolate beer. Belgian owner<br />

Alain Tabruyn (along with his<br />

wife Kwanjai Wonglee) is the<br />

island’s sole distributor of some<br />

30 varieties from his homeland —<br />

something his regular customers<br />

seem to greatly appreciate. Having<br />

lived in Phuket for more than 15<br />

years, Alain and his team have<br />

acquired a great taste for what<br />

resident expatriates want — great<br />

food and even better drinks in a<br />

relaxed setting with no air<br />

of pretension.
