Some (not so happy) updates on the wonderful panorama of KPG restaurants.

Mediterraneo Thong Sala has closed (will open new year with 2 new owners)

Vietnamese restaurant (close to Mediterraneo) closed and reverted to thai cooking school

All'Arena (ex Colosseo) in Haad Rin is closing

New opening of a new japanese restaurant opposite the Seatran/Lompraiah pier. Managed by a nice japanese couple. Very good food and fair prices

Johnnes restaurant in Haad Rin, close to the pier, closed

[sbk]

Yes, I've noticed the closures since I got back, our two favorite Laab places have closed (one opp the boxing arena on the Ban Tai road, the other in Ban Tai village) so if anyone knows of a good laab place I'd be interested.

The Indian curry place on the Ban Tai road is gone as well.

the one closed next to boxing (I missing this one too) ....her younger sister has the restaurant at the left, when you passing Limpipong and the "Light" turning right. Very nice and good Issan food under the big shady tree ;-)

btw, near your place.....
I've heard about a new great place outside Ban Tai, Thai couple making Italian food and the pizza's (and all other served dishes) must have been great said an italian pizza lover friend of mine. The name of the restaurant seems to be "Gondula". They doing a very good job they said. Will check sooner or later my self and comment. But sounds interesting to me!

Gondola is a thai girl, working before for Casa Nostra Haad Rin, open herself a small restaurant.

And one more italian restauant 100 meters opposite gondola in the Haad Rin direction, name Fabio's.

[ham]

long time i had the plan to go to the famous italian restaurant in Chaloklum, everybody talk's about, when it comes to good italian food.
The restaurant is in the old village part at the house row which have access to the beach. Actually many nice places there. But back to the Cucina Italia how it is named with a small board on the small street. It looks like all thai restaurant there. a small garden place above the beach (go through the restaurant's empty room. So have a look out for that board.

We tried Pizza of coarse and other tasty stuff like seafood salad and we were served with a small digestive (local brandy). Gieni (or so ;-) the owner makes really good italian pizza's. They are  making the best pizza at the west coast so far. Nice atmosphere! I could even get a nice spicy chilly oil. The "bread" is thin and crispy. Enjoy

Nice pics "ham"...
Gianni was always a favorite for us. While living on the island we did at least twice a week, the trip to Chaloklum, for his cuisine and friendliness.
During the European summer he used to go back to Rimini to help his mother who is running a trattoria.
But he trained his wife so well, that you would not have been able to see any difference in cuisine and qualite  
Next time you are visiting in place, say hello from Poum & Michel...

the name of the restaurant is actually boskow night light and it is good to see Jenni getting the recognition he deserves. pastas are handmade daily and prices are reasonable beyond belief.

excellent family atmosphere. my 3 year old daughter demands pasta form jenni daily and i would be hard pressed to find a better carbonara in bangkok or anywhere else.

To all you Phangan people out there, should we have a seperate pinned thread for Phangan restaurants or would including it in the Samui thread be ok?

The reason I ask is yesterday my husband and I went out for a late lunch at the Peppercorn in Sri Thanu. Excellent food, good portions for reasonable prices. I had the schnitzel with mushroom sauce and sauteed potates. Delicious and only 180 baht (good sized portions too). My husband had the NZ t-bone steak with blue cheese sauce, baked potato and green salad for 490. Very large portions, good steak, cooked to perfection, the sauce was very good.

So, I would like to add the Peppercorn in there, but wondered if it was worth it start a new thread or not.

What do you guys think? Are there enough restaurants to warrant its own thread? Would we get lost in the Samui thread?

Any decent mexican food on KPNG?

yes, Ando Loco's place outside Thongsala on the mainstreet to Ban Tai, right hand, lot's of plant's. Nice place, nice owner's

New Israeli restaurant in Haad Rin, named Marinada, close to the "Chicken Corner". Usual israeli food like hummus, Tahini, very good taste, and for the opening, but I guess after too, free flow of red wine and grilled meat (beef tenderloin, sirloin, liver, chicken steak, etc), very good quality.
The special charge for the opening was 400 baht, but I guess will be more if they follow to do "churrasco" style.

9 months ago since somebody posted in this forum! Phangan must be dead?

Just spent two weeks here and enjoyed the island a lot. The only downside was the lack of good food in my opinion, on Samui I know all the good and (most of the time) cheap Thai eateries. I remembered this thread last night, so a bit late to benefit from it since today I'll be shipping out to Samui again. In February I should be back over again and I will read this thread again to check out some Thai eateries.

One place that really rocked my boat is the place described above by Ham, I've visited it three times and the food is just absolutely amazing, it's also the only place in Chaloklum that each night has customers. Be aware that they're closed on Mondays. I did a write up on my blog, enjoy!

My Best restaurant is Benjamins Huts restaurant in Haad Chao Pao.
This is a thai family run restaurant and resort. This is budget category but the food!
They are more than friendly!
If you are not posh just want to eat something really tasty the best choice!

I ate my best mussaman there! The salads are excellent, good portions!
I eat here the best spagetti carbonara in my life!
The burgers are also fine with home made bread!
There are fine fresh coffe, coctails.
My best shakes are here also, what I can drink just here! This is milk based fruit shake blanded with Mars, Snickers, Twix or Bounty!

These plates are around 100bath, shakes 50-60, drinks, coffe 30. BUT this place is much more better value than most of others in this category!

Oh I'm getting hunrgy!

After one of my insect hunting tours, I arrived in Tong Nai Pan Noi and I ate at La Hacienda, nice "al fresco" Mexican-Rasta restaurant, owned by a Finnish guy (mr. Janne). Good and tasty food, both Mex and Thai, Nachos with cheddar, salsa, hot jalapenos and grilled chicken, a good mashed potatoes, cold beers and friendly environment. A bit pricey.

Casa Italia Pizza on Soi Krungthai - great pizza and pasta, ask for steve's california pesto pizza.

steve

Sorry buddy but I found the pizza at Casa Italia terrible and the woman was extremely rude. It's not "Italia" at all, I dunno how the place gets that name. The pizza tastes like a microwave pizza or something that could have been bought out of the box at Tesco.

For great pizza and REAL ITALIAN SERVICE check out Cafe Moccha in Chaloklum. Now that place has great food and great service.

I am not affiliated in any way with any business here.

[DavidMavec]

Another excellent restaurant is the Thai-French Restaurant kinda near 7-11 and A's Supermarket on Baan Tai Road. The steaks are excellent!
