The Smokaccia Laboratory is Phuket's most ambitious tasting menu. Chef Luca Mascolo calls himself a "culinary scientist", and his menus at Surin are inventive, playful and close to zero-waste. The smoked focaccia with mortadella foam that gives the restaurant its name, and a reimagined lasagna, are the dishes people remember.

It ranked No. 2 in the TOP25 Restaurants Phuket and Southern Thailand awards for 2025 and is in the Michelin Guide.

The nine-course menu costs ฿5,500++ and the 18-course menu ฿6,900++ (about USD 164 and USD 205 before tax and service), with meat, vegetarian and vegan versions at the same price. It is open Thursday to Monday, with seatings from 6pm to 7:30pm.
