What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Wanna's Place is praised for its stunning beachfront location, friendly service, and a wide variety of both Swiss and Thai dishes at affordable prices. While many enjoy the unique culinary fusion and generous portions, some reviews mention long waiting times and occasional inconsistencies in food preparation, with a few diners finding certain dishes to be average or overly salty.
"Amazing place to have food. Ambience was beautiful. Lot of food options. Special mention for the flexibility they offer in customizing the dishes. One of us doesn’t eat meat, so they readily substituted it for tofu. Service was fantastic, the waiters kept checking whether I needed anything. And the cherry on the cake were the food prices, very affordable considering the top notch quality of ingredients. Thanks, will definitely come back!"

"This review is specifically about their breakfast, as I didn’t have the chance to try lunch or dinner.
For 300 baht (as of December 2024), you get access to their buffet breakfast, which offers a variety of options to suit different tastes.
The restaurant features a spacious dining room with an open view of Ao Nang Beach, making it a pleasant spot to start your day.
If you’re looking to change things up from your hotel’s daily breakfast, Wanna’s Place is a solid alternative worth trying."

"Long waiting time and more disappointed when the food came. Salad didn't feel cold and fresh. Rosti potatoes wasn't pan fried- it was boiled and some parts still tasted slightly raw. Chicken was overcooked and pasta didn't make the mark. Had to spam alot of tobasco sauce to make up for the flavours. Didn't finish my food completely. Came because of the good reviews but let's be honest - the food taste sure didn't contribute to the ratings. It's family friendly with staff promptly clearing plates and food servings are huge. But that's about it."
