Montara Hospitality’s Farm-To-Table Restaurant, “PRU” at Trisara Phuket, has the distinction of being the first, and so far only, restaurant in Pukhet to receive a Michelin Star.
It was accorded 1 Michelin Tar at the recent ‘Michelin Guide Thailand Star Revelation 2019’ Gala Awards. Meanwhile, “Seafood at Trisara” restaurant was accorded the Michelin Plate designation.
PRU’s culinary concept “Plant, Raise, Understand” is the inspiration of 29-year-old Netherlander Chef de Cuisine Jim Ophorts, touted as an “inspiring voice of change” for elevating the farm-to-table movement in Thailand.
Chef Jim’s ultimate goal is “to create a 100% locally sourced menu”.
“At PRU, we don’t want to be just a kitchen; we want to strengthen the local farmer community. This will yield better ingredients for better dishes. Ultimately, it is all about happiness all-round – among the farmers, restaurant team, and guests at our tables.”
