We've eaten here twice in a row now, first up on the upper deck area where you sit on the ground. I love the idea of it although after a while you can become sleepy or a bit cramped! Overlooking the water and the boats at sunset was lovely. I had a spicy beef salad and curry fish madness -... More

Enjoyed a meal here while in koh Tao. The staff were friendly, the location and setting are nice for a chilled evening setting right on the beach. Food was good nice selection of curry and seafood. Prices reasonable. Would recommend.

Despite the fact that this little restaurant is just a stones throw from the main port it is a haven of calm and relaxation. It offers a choice of tavles oin the beach and also low level seating on aterrace overlooking the beach. The food is excellent. So good we went twice!

We had dinner here. The restaurant is situated down a little lane in Mae Head Bay, it's quite refreshing as you walk in as the restaurant is all white, on the beach, with the option to sit at tables on the beach or on a raised platform where you sit on floor cushions. We found the service to be excellent,... More

this restaurant is situated on the lane that leads to the centre of Mae Head, It has a nice ambience with nice white tables and chairs which overlook the beach and sea, I was dissapointed with the food and expected something better based on the reviews

The best curry I had! The duck breast red curry, with lychees and pineapple is to die for. The setting is beautiful. In daytime it looks like it's not much at all, but when the lights go on is very romantic. Great value.

I think this is the best thai food on the island, and the setting is unbeatable. The service is excellent and the cocktails are great.
