Which are the Best Restaurants in Koh Tao?
As a very touristic area, restaurants make an effort to provide good service and good quality food. Besides, there are many competitors, so prices are very competitive usually, for both top quality food or cheap bites. You can find the classic traditional Thai restaurant very cheap, but also the well-decorated restaurant with the best fish or seafood on the island.
If you are looking to treat yourself and get a very nice dinner in Koh Tao, you can choose Barracuda, one of the famous restaurants on the island. Its atmosphere on top of the hill in Sairee is unique, as its extensive menu. You can taste seafood and fish, including the yummy barracuda, and also great oysters. You won’t be disappointed here.
Another two great options would be going to the restaurants of high-quality resorts. We recommend The Cape at View Point Resort and The Terrace at Jamahkiri. There are two of the best hotels on the island, offering great food to their guests or the tourists who are also welcome to visit their restaurant. Thai food and Western food can be found in both restaurants.
For the ones who want to eat well but stay away from really fancy places, another good option would be The Factory Cafe. There you can enjoy brunch, with many different meals, including tasty toasts, eggs benedict or shakshouka.
Eating in Koh Tao on a Budget
If you prefer to spend less money on Koh Tao, there are also many options for you. We want to recommend you Tukta, a very nice Thai food restaurant in the way to Chalok and very popular among locals. Yang or Bam Bam are also a constant choice among people living in Koh Tao.
If you go to Sairee, there is also Duck, a specialist in this kind of poultry meat, or Joe’s Pork Leg, with its amazing stew.
Western Food in Koh Tao
You may love Thai Food, but a change is always welcome, and you’re dying for a pizza, a hamburger or Indian Food. No worries, there is everything you can imagine on this island.
If you are looking for an Italian restaurant, our recommendation would be La Pizzeria, in Sairee. There you can eat pizzas as a Napolitan or pasta carbonara as a Roman person would do. You can end your meal with a delicious tiramisu or a limoncello.
For Indian food lovers, they can visit the Shalimar Indian Cuisine, with the most delicate samosas and chicken tikka masala on the island. Not far from there, burger lovers can enjoy their favorite dish at Hippo Burger, choosing among many different types of meat or burgers.
However, on this island, tourists and locals can also enjoy Mexican food, Spanish tapas, or even some veggie places like Vegetabowl. Also, of course, there are sushi places like Kame, also in Sairee.
