The best of Samui restaurants
Our top five Koh Samui restaurants
Believe us when we say "we've done the research".
1. Best Massaman curry
Garland Restaurant on Choeng Mon high street
Anun, Garland Restaurant's owner, is an excellent host and his dog, Pop Eye, might be the cutest pup on the island. Come hungry - and ask to try his special fish dish, too.
2. Best fried rice
Smile House in Fisherman’s Village
It’s just unequalled - end of story.
3. Best view
The Jungle Club - in the hills above Chaweng
You know the view will be good when the establishment offers to pick you up in their own 4X4s. Yes, this meal is a ‘head to the hills’ experience - and you’ll want to bring both gaping jaw and panoramic camera. Enjoy your meal in a sala suspended from a rock face.
4. Best breakfast
Choeng Mon Bungalows
Eggs and bacon breakfast - check.
Yoghurt and muesli - check.
Fruit smoothies - check.
Coconut rice pudding pancakes - pure genius.
Stroll lazily down the hill from our Choeng Mon villa for a beach breakfast to last half the morning.
5. Best beach lunch
Had Bang Po Restaurant
(between Maenam and Lipa Noi)
Here we are giving away all the local secrets. This one requires a car and a sharp eye - you need to know Maenam's Had Bang Po is there. Along the Maenam beach road sits this gorgeous local joint, perched so close to the beach that you might dine ankle-deep at hide tide. Food is sensational, presentation is gorgeous and the ambiance? Imagine paradise swallowing you whole..
6. The next best
David Thompson's Thai Food cookbook
Sometimes the best meal is the one you cook yourself.
