Thai food is currently in Vogue in Kenting, and virtually every restaurant now offers it. At night the main road in Kenting becomes a night market, with all kinds of food sold from stalls. There are plenty of restaurants too - lots of Chinese of course, Thai, and a little western. There is also a lot of fresh fruit available and plenty of seafood.
Warung DiDi
Seems to be the most popular restaurant in Kenting, serving a variety of pan-Asian food. A little hard to find, and fills up quickly, but worth a visit.
Santosa Restaurant
Cheap Thai food that is delicious and filling. Try the seafood fried rice and the basil chicken. The restaurant owner is very friendly. It is close to the 7-11 on the Nanwan strip.
The Rock Garden
Lovely place in a garden setting, great for a lunch outdoors.
Gelato (?)
Delicious gelato and a great place to have an afternoon snack. There is seating in front of the storefront. The place is near the Santosa restaurant.
Bossa Nova beach cafe
cool beach cafe with one of the rare ocean view in the area.solid menu with a large asian selection and a western section as well.wine/coffee/desserts. look for Claire the owner,she is a local and a longtime body boarder,always ready to help you with any infos you might need.
Fu Dog Surfing
At FuDog Surfing, Jonathon cooks up a variety of Western-style food, including delicious pizzas.
Chinese Seafood
The seafood is delicious and worth ordering the fish of the day. It is very reasonably priced unlike some of the other seafood eateries offering live fish.
