ETNA Phuket has officially opened its doors, redefining destination dining in the heart of Bang Tao. More than just a restaurant, ETNA is a lakeside culinary theatre where primal fire meets polished finesse, weaving together food, storytelling, and atmosphere into a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
A Culinary Story Told Through Fire
Inspired by the fictional muse Etna—a modern-day heroine exploring lands, flavours, and connections—the restaurant channels her journey into its dishes. The menu is rooted in four elemental techniques: open-fire grilling, fermentation, smoking, and charcoal cooking, delivering bold, layered flavours with locally sourced ingredients like Andaman seafood, Northern Thai herbs, and tropical accents.
Slavic culinary traditions are reimagined with Phuket’s bounty. Highlights include:
King Crab (฿900/100g) and Ribeye Steak (฿620/100g), masterfully fire-grilled.
ETNA Soup (฿620) served with scallop and shrimp inside a chilled ice block for a striking contrast.
Ravioli with Salmon and Pike Caviar (฿650), combining Eastern European heritage with coastal flair.
Beef Burger (฿550) flame-grilled and finished with molten cheese, and Salmon Cutlets with Espuma Mousse (฿570) for a refined seafood indulgence.
Desserts are equally spectacular, from the blooming Rose (฿350) and nutty Truffle Pistachio (฿120) to the refreshing Pavlova with Mango and Passion Fruit (฿340).
Crafted Cocktails and Fine Wines
The beverage programme features an extensive international wine list, alongside signature cocktails designed to echo ETNA’s storytelling:
YUMA (฿380): tequila, pineapple, and sage.
SOLARA (฿380): vodka, basil, and galangal.
IGNIS (฿380): gin, Campari, bell pepper, and strawberry.
Immersive Atmosphere and Weekly Rituals
ETNA’s design reflects its narrative, combining handcrafted Uzbek ceramics, Caucasian textiles, and carved wooden totems with lakeside romance. Weekly events elevate the dining experience:
