Albatross Café is the creation of Robert and Busaba, a husband-and-wife team whose dedication is the secret ingredient in every dish. One ingredient hails from Holland, the other from Chiang Mai, and together they have built a culinary haven.
A true hospitality veteran, Robert has spent his life working in many countries, including 18 years in South America. His profound knowledge of food, wine, and spirits is matched only by his sociable spirit. Speaking eight languages, he connects effortlessly with guests from across the globe, ensuring everyone feels like part of the family.
Busaba has held a lifelong love affair with cooking. Her passion shines through in a menu infused with the rich, spicy tastes of her native Thailand. Her signature Khao Soy is a taste of Chiang Mai, while her creative touch elevates even classic European dishes. Her recipes are a closely guarded secret, adding a touch of wonder to every bite.
Let Busaba’s cooking transport you to the heart of Thailand. Our menu features cherished dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From the rich and aromatic Chicken Green Curry to tangy Phuket Fish Cakes, each dish is a tribute to authentic Thai heritage.
Discover international favourites, perfected with a creative touch. Indulge in a tender Grilled Australian Beef Tenderloin, savour the exquisite Grilled Duck Breast with Mango Tartare, or enjoy timeless pasta dishes like Spaghetti Vongole.
Our terrace is more than just a place to eat—it’s the heart of the Albatross experience.
Extending over the serene lake, this open-air deck is the ideal stage for romantic dinners and spectacular sunsets.
As evening falls, the space transforms under the magic of glowing string lights and a gentle breeze. Adding to the ambiance is our year-round live music, played softly so you can still enjoy your conversation.
The band welcomes requests, creating a personal soundtrack for your perfect evening.
A convenient free shuttle bus runs all day throughout the Laguna complex and also extends to the popular Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket shopping areas , making your journey right to our door simple and seamless.
Albatross Café is easily reached by the complimentary and scenic ferry boat, which connects all Laguna hotels and villas and now also runs directly between Bang Tao Beach and our lakeside location at Canal Village.
