Why it matters
Why Loukthor Vegetarian Restaurant is worth your time
Vegetarian food is part of Phuket Town's everyday life, partly because of the Chinese community's shrines and the annual Vegetarian Festival. This restaurant sits close to Jui Tui Shrine, one of the places connected with that festival, which makes it a natural lunch stop for a vegetarian family on a heritage walk.
What it offers is a plain, daytime meal rather than an Indian-style one. Expect Thai and Chinese-influenced flavours, tofu and mock-meat styles, not dosa or paneer. For those, Chotivala in Patong is the better match.

How to experience it
The restaurant offers two ways to eat. Dishes are cooked to order, such as fried rice and stir-fried noodles, and a pre-cooked buffet holds curries and stir-fries served with whole-grain purple rice. Tofu appears in several forms, and kanom jeen at 80 baht is served with vegan curry sauces, fresh vegetables and tofu.
For a first visit, choose from the buffet so you can see what is in each dish, then add kanom jeen if you want a Southern Thai breakfast without fish. The purple rice is a good option for people who like to avoid white rice.
If you follow Jain rules or avoid egg, say so before ordering. The page we opened calls it vegetarian and calls the kanom jeen vegan, but it does not describe the whole menu, so staff confirmation matters more than any label here. Pair it with a visit to Jui Tui Shrine, a short walk away.
Plan with confidence
