Restaurants Around Koh Lanta

There’s plenty of great places to eat and drink while you are exploring the Island. This is by no means an extensive list, there are too many to choose from, but these are some of our favorites. All the places below should be easy enough to find on Google Maps.

Drunken Sailor

Drunken Sailor, located in Kantiang, is a laid-back cafe with a mixture of Thai and Western food. Their daily specials can be particularly good. Good for breakfasts, or any time of the day. It's a great place to stop if you are exploring the southern end of the island.

Fat Turtle

One of three “Fats” - the others being the Fat Pig and Fat Monkey, the Fat Turtle in Long Beach has an excellent lunch and dinner menu, superb cocktails and a great location on Long Beach that’s perfect for watching a sunset. A firm favourite for a late lunch or watching the sunset before dinner, the food here is sublime - highly recommended.

Habitat Bar and Restaurant – Vegetarian and Vegan Only

Located in Phra Ae, Habitat stands out as an exceptional vegetarian/vegan eatery. This establishment, completely renovated by its dedicated owners, Jen and Andre, exudes a delicate blend of modern simplicity and subtle Thai influences in its decor. This restaurant offers upscale comfort food, with a rotating daily menu – depending on the selection of fresh produce available daily. They provide free drinking water to all paying guests, compost 100% of their food waste, and don’t sell or provide single use plastics. As a vegetarian & vegan restaurant, they do not use fish sauce, oyster sauce, bonito, shrimp pate, or any other seafood. They also make wonderful cocktails, shakes, and smoothies. You can check out their daily menu on their website at https://habitatlanta.com/. With its exceptional offerings and unwavering commitment to quality and excellence, Habitat has all the makings of becoming one of the premier dining establishments on the island of Koh Lanta.

Himalayan Indian Restaurant

If you want a break from Thai and Western food this is a hidden gem in Kantiang. The owner is from Nepal and the menu has authentic Indian dishes. Sometimes they can take a while to make your food, so be prepared for a wait. Your patience will be rewarded!
 

Le Colibre

This Thai and French owned restaurant in Long Beach has a great selection of pizza and pasta available, with lots of vegetarian options available. The lasagne is quite possibly the best on the island - let us know if you find better elsewhere!

The Living Room

Another good breakfast and lunch cafe in Long Beach with fresh filled sandwiches, baguettes and ciabattas, savoury and sweet crepes, and all sorts of tasty treats on the menu. The cheesecake brownie is epic.
 

The Roundhouse

This small establishment on the beach in Klong-Nin has a really friendly bar and restaurant area that’s a great place to hang out, go for a swim in the sea, have a beer or stop for food. 

Tuesday Morning

This laid-back cafe, on the road at Klong-Hin coming into Kantiang (it's near the gas station), has a quirky menu with some great breakfast and lunch options. There are nice views over to the beach at Klong-Hin as well. The chef “Pann” really cares about her food and it’s noticeable in every tasty plateful.

Yang Garden Restaurant

If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in a relaxed tropical garden setting, we highly recommend Yang Restaurant. Located in Phra Ae, this casual, yet upscale restaurant is all about serving top-quality food and drinks with a creative twist. The menu features a variety of unique dishes, inspired by flavors from around the world and crafted with fresh, local ingredients. At Yang, you can personalize your dining experience, whether you prefer sharing small plates with friends or savoring perfectly grilled meats and seafood from the charcoal grill. The owners, Frida and Martin, really hit the nail on the head here. The atmosphere is magical, chic, the staff superb, and is very affordable for what they offer. Martin has worked at Michelin Star restaurants, and you can tell in all facets of this place. Every dish is made with care and passion, ensuring a memorable and exciting meal. Perfect for both casual bites and indulgent feasts! During high season, they are very busy, and reservations are recommended. Let us know if you would like to dine here, and we can make the reservation for you.
