The Karon Cafe Story

Welcome to Karon Cafe’, family owned & operated since 1989 when Norsk-American Eric & his wife Sao came to Karon Beach on their Honeymoon. Like so many of our guests the beautiful sunsets, Aquamarine Ocean, & snow white beaches lured the couple to return & eventually settle here & establish a friendly place to eat & sleep. Their concept was to offer top quality & unequaled value; an outpost in Paradise for weary travelers & relaxed sunbathers. Thus the Karon Cafe’ Inn was born. Originally an American style coffee shop restaurant specializing in Air-flown Fresh Chilled Australian Beef at reasonable prices, Eric’s Colorado style steak house quickly gained popularity amongst folks all around the island. As a direct result its menu offerings also expaned to meet the growing diversity of guests, & Karon Café now offers a broad menu of expertly prepared foods.


Eric had always wanted to feature the Southwestern US cuisine known as Tex-Mex, so in 1996 he & Sao opened a second restaurant & guesthouse, Las Margaritas. Knowing that he was catering to a broad clientele Eric not only offered his own brand of Tex-Mex, he expanded the menu to encompass what is now known around the world as Tropical Fusion Cuisine. At Las Margaritas we have an eclectic variety of tastes, including new “gourmet” variations of Mexican, New Orleans Cajun-Creole & Mediterranean influences as well.


A few years after Karon Cafe’ & Las Margaritas became the successes that they are known for, Eric (formerly a Banker & Real Estate Developer) decided to put his old skills back to work & build a secluded resort nestled on a Karon mountainside. Hence, Pacific Club Resort was conceived. Pacific Club officially opened in March of 2005, & has steadily gained a popular following worldwide with many guests returning year after year for their annual holiday retreat. As has been the philosophy at Bolder Business for 23 years now, Pacific Club is focused on the concept of providing top quality at reasonable prices; value for money. At Pacific Club guests can enjoy an ecclectic variety of cuisine based upon the concepts of Karon Café, Las Margaritas & the broad range of unique offerings that were developed specifically for the Pacific Club.


Since Eric & Sao first opened Karon Cafe in 1989, many of the kitchen staff has remained throughout the past23 years which helps lend consistency & quality to the varied, exciting, & different cuisines found in all the Bolder restaurants. In order to remain at the forefront, avoid stagnation, & offer both his returning & new guests fresh & exciting meals, while keeping the proven standards that helped build the success & recognition that has been achieved, Eric has periodically brought in consulting chefs from around the world who have all left their mark & contributed to the variety of authentic foods the restaurants now offer.


In keeping with his policy of reinvigorating his restaurants by reinvesting in them, remaining attuned to the latest food trends & needs of his guests, all three restaurants & kitchens have been renovated over the last year, as well as the three menus. By remaining true to his belief that diners simply want a good choice of great food, at reasonable prices, served in a relaxing environment, Eric has once again raised the bar in Karon, & across Phuket, for dinning. Whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner, Thai or International cuisines, Bolder restaurants offer a respite from the confusion & uncertainty of where to go when looking for a memorable dining experience in Phuket.

Reviews


  • Excellent restaurant in a great location! One of the best steaks me and my family tasted whilst in phuket! Would definately recommend this hotel! Plenty of choice for children too! A little gem of a place. The beef and vegetable soup tasted lovely too.

  • I visited friends in Karon and once again stayed at Karon Cafe Inn, I find it really good basic room but most are in Phuket unless you spend lots of money. The food is really good. From steaks to local cuisine. Would not hesitate to stay again and recommend for anyone who doe snot want to pay over the odds for a bed.
