Extremely good restaurant. Service was great, food was really delicious. Of course it is more expensive than average. Consider 1500 to 2000 thb for two with wine but no regret. I do recommend this restaurant. We booked and the table was not ready when we arrived and they offered us a glass of wine while waiting...did not see this very often!

BEST restaurant on the island! Meat were delicious, we ordered an extra pork belly even with our stomachs full and everything was divine. The fresh spicy fruits were a great surprise, the dirty rice simply delicious, the gnocchis as well... we regret not being able to go back there to try the other dishes and sides. Super original menu with a smart French twist.

Also the service was top notch, we felt very special, our very kind waiter had an eye on everything.

Be adventurous and try one of their original drinks, and don't forget to end yourself with an ice cream (salty caramel was heaven).

Absolutely flawless. Do not miss this gem!!!

Saying it's the best restaurant in the island is an understatement. They very easily compare well with top restaurants in Bangkok and at a fraction of the price. For what you pay at other eateries in the island, what you pay here is a steal for what you get

For starters we ordered beef cured in dark beer - highly recommend it

For protein we ordered
1. pork ribs in tamarind BBQ glaze - so tender so flavourful - one of the best we've had
2. Tuna - goes well with the yang butter sauce
3. Duck - very good, must have

For sides we had
1. Dirty rice - very unique peanut taste. I recommend it
2. Peas and asparagus - tasty
3. Blue cheese with pear - sooooo good

Finally we had Thai creme brulee which is an interpretation of this popular dessert but with infusion of Thai flavours

The staff is impeccable, they are attentive and intuit your needs - it's the little things that make it such a joy to be served. They deserve to be tipped well

Verdict: book a place now - tables may be hard to come by

Sometimes you need a break from all the amazing Thai food around the island, and when that happens this is where you should go. Perfectly cooked duck and ahi steak, tartar is excellent, beef and pork buns are awesome. The menu hasn't changed in years, and that's a good thing.

Surprisingly decent wine and beer selection, great cocktails as well, and since it is off the road it's quiet. It's outdoor dining, no A/C, but they have fans (and cute cats) everywhere and it is very clean.

If I didn't love Thai food so much, I'd probably have eaten here a lot more, but it definitely deserves 5 stars and continues to be great. Pricey when compared to how cheap you can eat elsewhere, it is well worth the quality of ingredients. Great staff too.

Wow! A true gem at a great price for what you are getting.

Fine dining at a price that is about double that of many of the boring beach-side restaurants in this area, but a tiny fraction of what you would pay for this quality of food in any city around the world.

We had to seared tuna, duck, pork belly, and ribs. All were fantastic, particularly the tuna and pork belly (see photos). We also had 7 sides, from pea shoots with asparagus, to gnocchi, dirty rice, Myanmar cabbage salad, etc. All were great except that I didn't care for the carrot/mushroom dish which was a bit too "earthy".

Presentation was beautiful and staff were very pleasant and attentive.

It was our priciest meal on Koh Lantah, but fine dining for 4 people including drinks (non-alcoholic) for $70 with food left over seems outstanding to me

Note: You order sauces and sides separately, so be aware it isn't as cheap as you might think if you glance at an online menu. Also, depending on when you go, you might actually need a reservation.

Just WOW! Must go in koh Lanta. Incredibly creative, innovative and unique. Tasty, great value for money and much use of local ingredients. Shout out to the chefs, they deserve a lot more publicity! Every dish was just superb.

Super tasty food. Incredible garden seating. Fans. Attentive staff dressed in cool jeans aprons. Loved every minute of it. Definitely recommend the tuna tartare and the coconut and grapefruit salad as well as the grilled cauliflower. Just delicious. We would have come back but they just closed for 2 months. Thanks for the amazing meal.
