Issara restaurant is the latest brainchild of 2012 Croatian Masterchef winner Nikola Lesar. Born from the commitment to contribute to Phuket’s changing food scene, Issara champions local produce and aims to bring more experimental flavours to Phuket’s culinary values.
Inspired by Thai flavours and the informal Japanese concept of izakaya, where dishes are designed to be shared, this provides an authentic yet not entirely traditional dining experience. The menu is reflective of Chef Nikola’s admiration for the passion, innovation and authenticity of Thai and South East Asian cuisine. By combining handpicked local produce with exotic Southern Thai flavours and Japanese accents, each carefully curated dish showcases the best ingredients the island has to offer.
