What to eat in Koh Samui
When it comes to restaurants in Koh Samui, you will find most of them gathered in popular tourist spots, particularly around the beaches. This means, if you’re a fan of dining beachside with the balmy ocean breeze ruffling your hair, you’re in for a treat. So, if you’re staying somewhere like Bophut or Lipa Noi, it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to stroll around until you find something that catches your eye, and likely enjoy an incredibly authentic experience too. However, if you would like a little inspiration to get you started as you decide your nightly dinner plans, the Food Lab and Emporio Caffe Samui in Lamai Beach have both proven to be popular. In Taling Ngam, EVA Cafe & Restaurant tends to come out on top, and in Bophut, Cafe 69 is one of the best restaurants in Koh Samui, with an incredible review rating. If you’re looking for luxury restaurants Koh Samui, then you can’t go wrong with Dining on the Rocks and Full Moon, both in Bophut.
