(Phu Quoc) MAI JO Restaurant ★★★★

Group 3, Ông Lang Village, commune, Cửa Dương, Phú Quốc, Kiên Giang 920000, Vietnam 

• Fine dining with Mediterranean atmosphere. Little more expensive than average price around here but worth it. Oysters recommended.

This is the closest restaurant from our resort. 

The building structure is same as other local restaurants, but it looks totally different with all the well-decorated items. I even felt like being in one of the Mediterranean islands.

Beer Lac Viet (can) 35

Watermelon honey 70

There are two outdoor tables near the entracne and many more in the garden area.

Grilled oysters, roasted peanuts 150

She loved these oysters so we came back a couple more times.

2nd visit.

Because it's our last night here, she decided to have dinner twice in each of our two favorite restaurants, beginning with MAI JO.

Complimentary appetizer, probably not for everyday.

Ginger Lemongrass 70

What?

Lac Viet beer 35

Vietnamese coffee matini 150
condensed coffee, vermouth, vodka, kalua

I always try it if I found something unique, so I couldn't help but order this.

It was not weird but actually good. 

Well-orgnanized toilet.

Grilled oysters, roasted peanuts 150

This is what she came back for.

Caramelized stuffed squid with pork 270
Tossed in condensed sauce and assorted vegetables. This squid make syou to return!

Frankly, not much impressive because we have similar dish in Korea.

Lobster in Garlic Butter Sauce 650

All yours.

Tomato and lettuce salad apple vinegar dressing 80

Thankfully she stopped me from drinking this before too late.

3rd visit. The very very last meal in Phu Quoc.

We were already full, so we just ordered drinks and her favorite oysters.

See you soon, Phu Quoc!
