Koh Tao island has so many good restaurants, I can’t possibly describe them all! I’ll stick to the areas where DJL's facilities are located.

We are spoilt for choice on Koh Tao island. Here are some of my favorite places to eat:

Sairee Beach Koh Tao: All restaurants within short walking distance of DJL Sairee Beach.

DJL Pool Bar & Restaurant

First up of course is our own restaurant which has an excellent choice of Thai food which will help with your budget, along with this we serve some western food and also have regular barbeque evenings.

Coffee Boat.
Undoubtedly the best restaurant on Koh Tao island. Plastic furniture, water served from a Tupperware jar, and an uneven wooden deck floor. Fantastic authentic Thai food for tiny amounts of money. A great original Thai eating experience.

Tong’s Thai Food
Another economical restaurant, with a slightly more western menu than that above.

New Heaven Bakery
Next door to DJL Sairee, the bakery offers tasty European pastries and sandwiches. This is a good breakfast option if you’re not into eating rice soup for breakfast.

The Snack Shack.
Right next door to Lotus Bar and open until 3am, serving the best burger and chips on the island! It's also the only place open in Sairee after midnight to satisfy those late night post drinking hunger urges.

Sairee Hut Restaurant
Recently redeveloped and now turning out great food. Relaxed ambiance down on the beach, with a great seafood barbeque every night.

Papa’s Tapas
Exclusive restaurant with exquisite surroundings and menu. Their Swedish chefs and barman take a lot of care to produce one of the best dining experiences on Koh Tao. A little more expensive than elsewhere.

El Gringo
Serves good Mexican food including tacos, fajitas and chilli. Makes a nice change.

This is by no means a complete list, just some of our favourites.

Over in Mae Haad, Koh Tao

Zest
European style bakery for sandwiches and salads in the daytime.

Cappuccino Bakery
Next door to the above and similar selection. Tasty pastry and fresh coffee.

Yangs
Tasty dirt cheap Thai food, in a no frills surrounding.

Café Del Sol
Excellent French restaurant, serving great steaks, pizzas, salads and more.

Farango
Authentic Italian cuisine – all the classic pasta and pizzas that you would expect.
