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.
