Local Canteen captures the feel of a relaxed neighbourhood spot, with a modern interior lifted by bold, playful hand-painted artwork. Open from noon until midnight, this recent addition to Phuket's dining scene reworks familiar Thai canteen dishes with confident seasoning and regional touches. The menu centres on curries and wok cooking – the spicy mu yang trang khrueang kaeng sato stands out for its depth, aroma and balance, best enjoyed with rice.
