A longtime local favorite for Thai-style seafood, Koti has a no-nonsense decor and a packed dining room that attests to the flavor of dishes like hor mok talay (steamed seafood curry). The large menu includes such crowd-pleasers as fried fish with garlic and pepper.
This Middle Eastern and Mediterranean joint brings a mouthwatering taste of the Levant to Thailand's most venerable beach enclave. While the smoky aroma of meat, fish, and kebabs grilling over charcoal make this a heaven for carnivores, vegans are equally well-fed with a selection of salads, dips, and righteous falafel and hummus plates.
Using Elle & Vire's 70 years of French dairy expertise, this gem of a cafe and bakery puts out a range of high-quality croissants and house-blend coffee. Whether you like home-made raspberry croissants, chocolate croissants, lychee croissants, or green tea croissants, you're spoiled for choice. There are also heftier options like sourdough slices with tuna, and multi-grain bread with avocado sour cream sauce and bacon. Light wood finishes create a homey atmosphere.
The chefs at this Thai-French restaurant acknowledge its Asian influences while relying mainly on French technique. Prawns might come, for instance, Thai-style in a curry with fresh coriander in coconut milk or with echoes of France in a vermouth sauce.
The homemade chocolate rolls and croissants at this bakery are fresh and tasty, and the decor featuring vintage Kellogg's boxes, toy soldier figurines, and cherry-red Sugar Bloom lettering evoke a quirky sense of Americana. The coffee, made with local, medium dark-roast beans, are great as well.
