Koh Samui food and drink
Koh Samui food
Koh Samui food has something for everyone. Thai dishes can be found at five-star restaurants or hole-in-the-wall roadside stands and they’re almost universally guaranteed to delight. If you crave variety, Samui dining includes options from all over the world. Here we’ve included our favourite breakfasts, lunches and dinners for a delicious sampling of Koh Samui food and island dining.
Breakfast
Coffee in Fisherman’s Village
For people-watching from behind dark sunglasses. All manner of beachside stops.
Fisherman’s Village at Bo Phut Pier
Greasy breakfast
Crystal on Choeng Mon beach will do the trick. Bacon and sausage. A 10-minute walk downhill from our Choeng Mon villa.
Breakfast on Choeng Mon Beach
Take your pick from a number of beachfront restaurant/cafés. Full English breakfasts and lighter fare are available - can’t go wrong with a pineapple shake on a hot day. Afterwards, lazily digest on a nearby beach bed.
Fresh papaya
Our villa is home to a papaya grove and we have plans for many other tropical fruit trees to follow. Whether in a spicy papaya salad or a refreshing shake - it doesn’t get fresher than this!

Lunch
No Names
A Samui specialty - grated vegetables, coated in batter and deep fried. Exact recipe differs from place to place - but they’re universally moreish. A perfect afternoon snack with a cold Singha beer. At any street corner restaurant
Lunch at The BBC (Big Buddha Cafe)
Dine under a massive tamarind tree, with Big Buddha looking on. Roast dinner on Sundays. Large groups no problem. Located just outside the Big Buddha gates.
Grocery shopping at Tesco
“But I didn’t come on holiday to go to Tesco!”
Bear us out. Go if only to stock up on amazing Thai fruit & veggies.
Samui Ring Road, Chaweng North, 1/7, Moo 6, Tambon Bo Phut

Dinner
Dinner at Happy Elephant
Delicious fresh fish cooked to your specifications. Live music nightly: Roy, Cliff and Elvis - the gang’s all here!
Located in the centre of Fishermen’s Village on Bophut Beach Road
Tel: 077 245-347
Things that crunch
Particularly in Northern Thailand, insects are very much on the menu. You’ll find them for sale at island food markets. Cicadas, crickets, grasshoppers or locusts - take your pick!
Pancake Man
Hungry? This meal’s on wheels. Find Pancake Man on any busy road and you’ll be best friends for life. We love banana-nutella ones best.
