Devasom Khao Lak Beach & Spa Resort proudly announces that the latest edition of the prestigious Michelin Guide Thailand has once again awarded both of the resort’s excellent restaurants: Takola receiving the impressive Bib Gourmand while Devasom Beach Grill and Bar was given honorary mention by the globally respected publication.
Takola, the signature Thai restaurant of Devasom Khao Lak, was selected from among 361 dining establishments in Thailand to receive the Bib Gourmand, for being “very good value for money”. This is the second consecutive year that Takola has received an awarded listing in the Michelin Guide and this year’s Bib Gourmand again.
“We are delighted that the delicious local cuisine and great service at Takola restaurant have been awarded a Bib Gourmand for the second consecutive year by the Michelin Guide,” remarked Is Atirak, Founder and Co-Managing Director of Devasom Resorts, sharing his gratitude for the Takola team. “The management and I would like to extend a big thanks to the chef and his team for delivering impressive dining experiences to our guests, with authentic recipes, traditional cooking methods and sustainable produce at the core of our menu. Devasom’s passion is to offer a genuine, delightful and authentic experience to our guests and we’re very proud to be able to maintain this level of high quality as we continue to bring our culinary heritage to the dining scene.”
Takola serves up flavorful, sophisticated Thai dishes which pay homage to local wisdom. At Takola, patrons have the opportunity to savor Thai delicacies prepared with the old recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Devasom family. Locally sourced ingredients are mainly used — fish from local fishermen, eggs from organic farms and seasonal greens from local producers — which ensures freshness, high quality and sustainability while supporting the local community. Dishes at Takola which deserve particular praise, as mentioned by the Michelin Guide inspectors, include the signature spicy chili shrimp dip Nam Prik Takola, the rich and tasty curry Kaeng Pu Bai Cha Phlu and the rare recipe, Sakuna Chom Suan.
Also receiving recognition for the second time in a row is Devasom Beach Grill and Bar, Devasom Khao Lak’s beachside dining venue, which was given honorary mention (previously known as the Michelin Plate award) in the distinguished selection of restaurants regarded as among the world’s best, by the universally respected Michelin Guide. Known and loved for its Mediterranean fusion cuisine, Beach Grill and Bar serves sumptuous, hearty dishes prepared with high quality local seafood in an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. While guests enjoy the splendidly satisfying fare, nature provides a feast for the eyes with a view of the stunning Andaman Sea.
Open to guests since 2018, Devasom Khao Lak is not only a holiday destination for discerning travelers but also a treasure trove for gourmands who find the easy journey to the resort well worth the delights their palates discover. Takola Thai Restaurant opens daily from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm, while Devasom Beach Grill and Bar opens daily from noon to 11:00 pm.
