The Sunday Seaview Brunch at Pine Beach Bar

With a magical location, excellent service, outstanding food and good vibes, The Sunday Seaview Brunch at Pine Beach Bar makes for a fun affair and a great way to gather with friends and family for a unique brunch on Kamala Beach. 

The Sunday Seaview Brunch serves up an amazing menu with all dishes delivered family-style to the table. The brunch includes a choice of starters and pasta, free flow signature pizzas, main courses with vegetarian options, tasty side dishes and an array of sweets for dessert. Each and every dish is excellently prepared using the finest local ingredients, imports, the freshest seafood and high quality cuts of meat. 

The day we attend the brunch, we realise we are famished as we peruse the menu. Starters include Soft Boiled Egg & Truffle, Jaras Signature Som Tum, Octopus Salad, Kale & Raw Local Catch of the Day, Hua Hin Caviar & Avocado, Organised Ceasar and Pine Chilled Phuket Box. We choose the latter, which includes three oysters, Phuket Lobster, Southern Andaman Crab Leg, Andaman King Prawn, Salmon Roe and a trio of sauces including lemon mayonnaise, seafood sauce and mignonette. There is nothing better than fresh seafood, and this starter is an ode to the bountiful seafood freshly plucked from the Andaman Sea. 

We dive into a heaping bowl of pasta next - Fusilli, Cavolo Nero & Local Scallops - fusilli with black cabbage pesto, local sautéed scallops and bottarga. The flavour of the black cabbage pesto is divine. 

We order two signature pizzas - the Prosciutto with tomato sauce, fior de latte, prosciutto, local rocket leaves and parmigiano reggiano as well as the Salmone - tomato sauce, fior de latte, olives, cherry tomatoes, smoked salmon and chili oil. The pizza dough is made from flour produced by Pivetti in Italy, and has a light, fluffy texture. 

Deciding that our starter and subsequent dishes were enough seafood, we choose Grilled Bone in Rib Eye with brown butter, charred onion and roasted potatoes as our main course, along with Sunday Roast Crackling Pork, and Charred Leeks & Shiitake with tofu and black garlic emulsion and umami powder. The main courses are delicious - all the meat is cooked to perfection while the various herbs and spices really bring out the delicious flavours. 

We add Lobster Mac and Cheese as a side - it’s hearty, it’s rich and entirely decadent. 

Although we’re stuffed, we opt for dessert and choose a refreshing homemade Yuzu Gelato and a sweet Strawberry Short Cake. The dessert hits the spot and completes a wonderful day of exceptional food during The Sunday Seaview Brunch. 

An interesting fact about this brunch is that, because the menu offers so many different choices, you could go on a weekly basis without having to indulge in the same dish twice. I highly recommend this brunch - it is definitely one of my favourites in Phuket!
