What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Wine Connection Kata offers a diverse menu with many highly recommended dishes, especially pizzas and steaks, praised for their flavor and value. The extensive wine selection and opportunities for wine tasting are also major draws. However, some diners note issues with service coordination, particularly when ordering multiple courses, and suggest ordering dishes sequentially for a smoother experience. While generally well-regarded, a few reviews mention less seasoned dishes like Bolognese and slightly expensive drinks for the region.
"By far the best meal we had during our stay. Pasta, steak, mozzarella tomato salad, eggplant bake, absolutely delicious. Meals were on par with home cooked quality and flavours. Do not hesitate and walk straight in. Huge variety to choose from."
Ilker Secgin
"It's good restaurant which is I recommend to all. Food is really good and nice choice of drinks. However, I put 4 starts overall as there is no indoor area. This is all outdoor restraint, so keep in mind that if you are hot and wish to dine is closed air-conditioning atmosphere this is not the place for you."
Evgenii Pivovarov
"Food and service are great! Drinks are a little expensive for Thailand standards, but still good regardless. Staff is attentive, I got the scallop fettuccini with the biggest scallops I’ve ever seen! For my drink I got the iced latte. Would recommend."

Kata – Exploring Southern Phuket
This restaurant is located on the main street and great for people watching. If the name sounds familiar it’s because Wine Connection originated in Singapore and have expanded all over Asia. We had the cheese platter and the house wine which is a French pour.
WINDOW on Phuket: The Grape Escape
Wine Connection was the first speciality wine shop to open in Phuket 11 years ago in Chalong. Since then we've grown to be the largest chain of wine shops in South East Asia," said Michael Trocherie, Wine Connection's founder and CEO.
