Bryce van de LaarWe had dinner at Dara Serene on our first night in Koh Samui. On Steak Night the restaurant offers a range of beef steaks as well as chicken, salmon or tuna cooked on the bbq. Any steak order comes with access to the salad and soup bar, and steaks are plated with a large portion of roasted potatoes and other vegetables. This makes it good value for money. we watched the moon rise over the lagoon and enjoyed a serene and pleasant evening.
_TI***8tThe atmosphere during sunset is simply magical! The food was great, especially the octopus in coconut milk, and the service was excellent. A unique Thai selection that stands out!
_TI***8pThis place offers a great selection of Italian dishes, and the seafood pasta was particularly delicious. The location is perfect for a meal after a day at the beach.

Toh Hong RuiCame to this restaurant on high recommendations for fresh seafood. The variety of seafood available is wide, and you can also choose some of the shell fish before placing your orders. Recommended dishes include the black pepper fried lobster and the deep fried flower crab. Only drawback is the long waiting times for your food during dinner hours.
poohwubearTu Kab Khao is one of the handful of restaurants in Phuket recommended by the Michelin Guide. The crab curry dish with vermicelli noodles are highly recommended, and I will say the flavors are strong, but reviews often warn that dishes are spicier than guests typically expect, so it pays to do some research beforehand. We definitely enjoyed the pandan juice though to help cool off from the spice. The main appeal is the Sino-Portuguese shophouse environment of the restaurant.
