Ko Lanta

River Restaurant
73/1 Khongha Road

Is a friendly family operation located on the beach just south of narima resort. they have a delicious menu: lots of thai dishes and a few western ones as well. the phad thai is excellent. it is very popular with families and the owner's children often play with tourist kids.

Thai Cuisine

Is a long-established favorite. it is in phra ae just south of the opium night club. the menu features a wide selection of wonderful thai dishes and chinese as well. the "special" spring roll is excellent. there is bar service and a small artisan boutique. say hello to the chef/owner, somkuan; he's a great guy.

Sunset Restaurant
Ao Nang

Is a very small restaurant on klong dao beach close to d.r. lanta resort beside mooks bar. the thai food is arguably the best on klong dao beach and cheap too. real thai style eating with the tables directly on the sand and no decorations at all but a nice view and cool breeze from the sea.

Abdul's Pancakes

Is a crãªpe stall run from a motorcycle sidecar. you can most often find him in moo 1, saladan, opposite lanta diver when the boat divers come back around 15:00. his chocolate and banana crãªpe and his chicken crãªpe are especially tasty.

Time For Lime restaurant & bar

Is not just a well known professional thai & fusion cooking school, it also has a beach & tree-top restaurant where you can relish the sunset & the breeze while peeking at what the cooking “students” are creating down below. in just a short time because of the word of mouth, more and more people are checking out the great food, atmosphere and mojitos. they offer a filling 6-course tasting menu for 495 baht, all year round. bungalows are also for rent. open all year.

In general, Southern Thai food is renowned for its spiciness. Much of the cuisine has its origins in Malay, Indonesian and Indian food. Favourite dishes from the south include Indian-style Muslim curry massaman, rice noodles in fish curry sauce Khanom Jeen and chicken birayani.

As for Ko Lanta, reasonable priced and tasty seafood is obviously what most tourists long for when visiting a coastal province like Krabi. In this connection, the wing shell หอยชักตีน is Krabi’s famous cuisine. It is eaten with a spicy dip. In addition, stirred fried Spotted Babylon หอยหวาน, which is found in mangrove forests, with chilies and basil is also famous. This cuisine is common in Ko Lanta’s restaurants. Another great Krabi taste is, of course, seafood. The Ko Lanta beach areas have several restaurants with the 'catch of the day' displayed on ice outside. One can find all kinds of fish; juicy crabs and langoustines; shellfish, including giant oysters; as well as squid and lobsters.

Ko Lanta has a wide variety of restaurants, the kind that most visitors travel to Thailand for: beach-front locations serving delicious and inexpensive Thai and seafood dishes. Eateries line the beaches in front of the bungalows and no visitor will starve from lack of variety or interesting places to dine.
