Seriously enjoyable French food in a quirky atmosphere...
Nastasia and Jérôme are the third owners of The Boudoir since we first dined there more than seven years ago. Based on our two visits (March and April) since they took over I would say they have not only maintained the standards of their predecessors, but have even further upped the quality of the customer experience.
The quirky ambience has remained pretty well unchanged, the service is very personal and a delight to experience, and the casual atmosphere belies the serious endeavour to deliver a memorable evening. It's unique in Samui to be able to dine seriously well at a small family-run business where both the food and the service are at the heart of what the owners are all about.
Talking of the food, it really is excellent. Nothing too fancy or avant garde is attempted, and rightly so. The menu is quite traditional with focus on ingredients and attentive, rigourous preparation. The appropriately short wine list has been thoughtfully selected and delivers exactly what is needed at a very fair price (love the Y Series Viognier!).
It is always enjoyable to dine at The Boudoir and we shall most definitely be back there again soon. Thanks to Nastasia and Jérôme for the experience ????
