Station Samui


 

Only a few years ago the culinary scene in Koh Tao was rather basic. Classic Thai dishes with a few western additions like American breakfast, pancakes, sandwiches and French fries have been on the daily menu.

Nowadays chefs and caterers from all nations have settled. Excellent restaurants, with stylish, creative ambience offer culinary delights from all over the world.
You can choose from Italian, Mexican, Indian, French, Japanese, German, or Chinese cuisine. Tapas, kebab, pizza, imported steaks, homemade pasta, sausages, meat pies, fresh bread & pastry, as well as draught beers, imported wines & fabulous cocktails. A gourmets paradise!
Fresh markets offer all sorts of tropical fruit and also prepare them on the spot to a shake of your choice.
With all this foreign dishes on offer you should never forget where you are. Authentic Thai food can be sampled everywhere, from simple street stalls & nightly grills to classy Thai kitchens and breezy Seafood restaurants.
