RECOMMENDED RESTAURANT IN KOH LANTA

Red Snapper: a locally-renowned 'creative European' kitchen, with a small, frequently changing menu,
according to the seasons and the whims of the chefs, Ed and Joyce. It also does good tapas and wines by the
glass. The restaurant is set in a pretty garden near the beach with plenty of cosy nooks and corners. Entrance
is from Phra Ae beach, or via the main road through Phra Ae village.

Catfish does a great lunch and breakfast, serving the best muesli on the island, as well as yummy falafel and
toasted sandwiches. Best of all is that it is very cheap and on the seafront - a good place to grab a bite to eat

as well as the chicken crepes are out of this world!

Cook Kai: is just across the street from Klong Nin Beach. Entirely built of wood and lovingly decorated, it
offers a spacious, open dining area and bar. Run by the cook and his family, their Thai food, which is unique to

non-seafood menu that is worth investigating - although the kaeng som (hot and sour fish curry) is too good to
miss out on. It is located directly above the water in an original wooden townhouse, making for a unique,
old-world atmosphere.
