This little bar / eatery is tucked a little way off the main road situated right on the beach itself. You are in the sea literally feet away from where you are relaxing with a cold beer or some typical Thai dishes. The menu is just right, offering those Thai classics you want to taste, cooked in an authentic way by Thai cooks. If you fancy something different on the menu you're covered as this bar also serves some Euro foods if you're feeling homesick. The fries are to die for and the homemade sausages are awesome. We spoke to Tony who had some freshly caught Grouper that day and went with his recommendation, the simple oven bake with herbs and freshness blew us away. We've been back so many times as we love vibe, the sea breeze, the stunning views, the menu choices...... it really was ine of our "go to" places where we knew the experience would be amazing every time.

You can also arrange local snorkeling and private trips on fisherman long boats here through Tony with little to no notice. The prices we were quoted were less than any others we saw locally.

Came for a drink and the view. Wasn’t hungry but the menu looked great.

I’ll be back for lunch. Did I say they have a great view?

UPDATE!!

Came back and tried the homemade sausage! WOW! Awesome flavors in this handmade sausage. The portion is large enough to share and comes with excellent French fries as well.

Don’t miss this place for a peaceful meal and great view.

Really enjoyed the food and drinks here.. great view and fantastic staff.. really relaxing on a hot afternoon to sit there with a drink and listen to the waves roll in and look out across the long boats to water and beyond.
We ate the Thai food offerings and all were great.. the Pad Thai was a bit sweet for my liking but that is a preference not a criticism.

Owner was great and remembered our names having been there a few times.

New French Kiss, our new favourite.

First off, its location offers one of Samui's most superb views, stretching out over the sandy beach, from nearby Koh Mad Sum and Koh Tean and all the way across to the limestone karst hills of Nakhon Si Thammarat. Sublime on a sunny lunchtime or for cocktails and an early dinner.

On top of that, the talented Belgian chef seems to create magic with everything he touches. His preparation of whatever fresh fish he has on hand is outstanding, my partner says his seafood pasta is the best on the island (simple, but perfectly balanced flavours), and he can even make a roast chicken exciting! And his side dishes show great flair, as do his home made salad dressings and sauces. There is Thai food too if it takes your fancy, but we've not yet tried it. Prices are exceptionally reasonable for the quality (not to mention the view!)

This place is wonderful! The owners are eccentric and passionate about food. We Had a whole fish wish, wonderful homemade chips and mash with leeks.
The wine was to die for too.
It's set right on the sea...I cannot recommend the New French Kiss ???? enough .
Do not miss this place as it will surely be the highlight of your holiday
