Find the best Koh Samui restaurant recommendations on your Thailand trips with these tips from our experts.
Crispy, spicy and healthy – that’s the essence of Thai food, and Koh Samui is no different. For those who are sensitive to spices, it’s best to ask for food that is ‘may peht’ (not spicy). Typically, the food in Koh Samui is delicious and very rich in vitamins, and if you are looking for a break from Thai cuisine, there’s a wide selection of excellent international restaurants in Koh Samui.
Top Koh Samui Restaurant Tips from our Experts
Authentic and Economical: Homemade Burgers and Sandwiches
45/11 Mae Nam Moo. 4 Ring Road, Maenam Beach, Koh Samui
How about a burger in Koh Samui? It may be an unusual recommendation, but we’re sure that once you’ve eaten here you’ll understand why it’s highly recommended. These burgers come at unbeatable prices but are also of fantastic quality. The same applies to the traditional Thai dishes and sandwiches served at this eatery.
Mid-range: Supattra Thai Dining
32/6 Moo 4, Koh Samui
Savor fine Thai cuisine amid a wonderfully relaxed ambiance. The service here is first class – the small yet exquisite menu is explained by the owner himself, and there is excellent range of wines on offer. We recommend one of the fresh fish specialties – sourced directly from local fishermen everyday, these are lovingly prepared by the owner’s wife.
High-end: Tree tops Sky Dining & Bar
92/1 Moo 2, Bophut, Koh Samui (in the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort)
The Tree Tops Sky Dining & Bar offers excellent food in a stunning setting. Dine high up amid lush green tree tops surrounded by swaying palms overlooking the sea. The extensive menu features Mediterranean dishes, seafood specialties and spicy Thai curries. With a sommelier to recommend a wine to pair with your dinner, it’s perfect for a romantic evening!

What Our Guests Say
Enchanting Travels exquisitely prepared our excursion from top-to-bottom based on our initial discussions regarding our desires for our trip. From cities, sites, tours, hotels, & activities, we were immersed in our favorite style of travel: get involved in activities [culinary class, organic farming, yes – and of course care of the elephants], great knowledgeable guides, local food tasting as one priority, and trying different modes of local transport [from car, boat, bicycle, Cyclo-cross, Tuk-Tuk, Long Boat, gondola, canoe, Vespa scooter, and even a bamboo raft]. The hotels were specifically selected for their local style, and the sites were all well represented and included off-the-beaten path historical and natural treasures. The oversight of our trip via the App as well as 24/7 coordinator involvement made it totally hassle-free.

Enchanting Travels and their staff put together a trip of a lifetime. We hadn’t traveled to Asia before and were nervous about what to expect or how to navigate once we were there. We also really didn’t know what we wanted to do other than a few expectations. We went to four countries with multiple hotels, flights and boat excursions. I cannot believe that the 5 week trip went off with out any hitches! Everything was so smooth and effortless. We did not worry about anything the whole time we were there. It was comforting to know that our trip coordinator was there for us if we needed her and she certainly responded quickly if we did have a need or question. The choices for hotels that Enchanting Travels recommended were superb and the guides and driver were knowledgeable and fun. I can not speak more highly of all of their services and plan on using them again for another big trip.

I am writing to sing the praises of Anita Sahi at Enchanting Travels who curated THE MOST INCREDIBLE trip to Thailand for us. Anita really took the time to get to know exactly what my husband and I were looking for in this trip and she delivered 100% on what she promised. Anita spent a lot of time putting together options for hotels and excursions. She chose incredible hotels with top-notch services. The local guides/agencies with whom she worked in Thailand took wonderful care of us. Everyone was very professional, fun, prompt, and really wanted us to experience the culture and the excitement of their country. I could not have been happier with every moment of this trip from start to finish and I have Anita to thank for it all! Thank you, Erica Goldberger

Enchanting Travels planned the trip of a lifetime for my husband and I to Thailand and Cambodia. I normally plan my trips on my own and I was a bit hesitant to use a travel company. There is no question that I would use Enchanting Travels again in the future. Everything from the accommodations to the logistics of travel between locations to the tours and tour guides were top notch. We felt secure and relaxed throughout our trip because we knew that the experts at Enchanting Travels were handling our plans. We have made so many amazing memories from all of our wonderful experiences and would not hesitate to use Enchanting Travels again for future destinations.
