After staying in Rawai, doing a Muay Thai Camp for two weeks, I was looking for a healthy & interesting alternative to the curries or veggie dishes that Phuket does best.

Staff were friendly & I was served immediately - only person there though as it closes at 8pm & I just snuck in beforehand.
Living Food Cafe, Rawai - Thailand
I had the burger - a dehydrated pattie of sprouted lentil beans, flax seeds and herbs, placed on a white cabbage 'bun' w/ mayo, mustard, ketchup, cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce and pickles.
Raw Burger - Living Food Cafe
You just fold the 'cabbage bun' over and pick up and eat, as you would a 'hamburger', served w/ potato salad. The potato salad is not Western, it's Thai style but extremely tasty - especially if you've been travelling for a while & want to see some celery on your plate instead of rice.
Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake
It's just on the right if you are heading to Nai Harn Beach, has great parking, but no view - great shutters though & pillowed seats to stare out at the beach traffic passing by.
Living Food Cafe is more though than just beautiful, raw and organic food - they also sell organic products - shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc - perfect if you want to travel & still look after your ecological footprint.
I usually have acupuncture at home in Australia & herbal supplements from a Chinese doctor - you can visit Living Food Cafe, and pick up some herbal tables for skin conditions to insomnia, and organic coconut oils and insect repellents - all in all, a great find for the health conscious.
