Review - El Gaucho - Karon Beach - Phuket

For extended version see my travel blog ... http://diariesofzrk.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/thailand-2012-phuket-day-4.html

El Gaucho Brazilian BBQ is on Karon Beach in Phuket and you can order off the BBQ menu or their Thai menu. We ordered off the Thai menu. It was one of the best meals I've ever had, anywhere in the world. We started with cocktails from their signature menu which were so delicious then shared a mixed Asian entree and rice paper roles amongst us - all of which were the best I have ever had. For mains Peggy had Pad Thai, JP had the seafood fried rice, John had the beef stir fry and they all said their meals were outstanding. My whole grouper with curry sauce, steamed vegetables and rice was nothing short of incredible. So fresh with such simple flavours - I can't emphasize enough how wonderful it was. We all had dessert - mine was fried bananas with honey which was so wonderful. The restaurant was the most expensive at 3,700 baht but that's $120ish for entrees, mains, desserts and cocktails for four so 'expensive' restaurants here aren't expensive by Australian standards at all.
