You can eat anywhere solo here--it isn't a big deal. Filomena and Rasika are waaaaaaay overrated and you might get food poisoning. Try Tortino or Haad Thai.

I love Rasika every time. Never had an issue with food quality

Rasika is worth the hype imo, but it can be quite pricy.

Literally never heard a bad thing about Rasika

Rasika will give you food poisoning? On what grounds?

🤔 a couple of thoughts:

1: I don’t think either Rasika or Filomena are highly hyped restaurants. Rasika gets more attention than Filomena, but it’s not mentioned much on social media or the “Best of” lists. I love Filomena, but only ever see/hear it brought up in context of where to bring family. Maybe I’m missing some foodie buzz, not being on Instagram 🤷‍♂️

2: Filomena is no where near city center.

3: Food poisoning? C’mon. You’re absolutely no more likely to get sick at these places than anywhere else.
