Red Ginger

Home-cooked food. " It's all about sauce".

Reviewed By Zechinois

Maybe not anymore,
Will not come again for the cheese burger (180 baht), lack of taste,
Fries (90 baht)are Ok
The smoothies (105 baht) are really good, mango particulary.
Be careful on your bill, pay only what you order, Roger can do mistake, no paper with what you order

Tamnanpar Restaurant

Reviewed By DawsonUK - Pattaya, Thailand

On a drive back from Koh Chang we stopped off at Tamnan PaResort, which means Forest Legend. I would highly recommend this place, and it is well worth the drive if you have e need to be in that area. Unfortunately we didn't take any photos, but this place is beautiful and excellent food. It has a huge carpark, obviously geared up for bus tours (which wasn't a good sign). Then we walked through a forest with stocked ponds and Waterfalls. Arriving at a very impressive rain forest canopy. So you are kind of sat outside, but with many fans and a huge cover to protect you from the elements. The menu is all Thai food, and surprisingly, for a mass catering place ( I think they can seat around 200 people) the food was some of the best Ive had in Thailand. Chicken with Cashew nuts, with plenty of crunchy water chestnuts, full of flavour and a huge portion. The Sweet and Sour Pork, a lovely gooey sauce with fresh pineapple and green and red peppers, fantastic. The pork filled Omelette was a bit of a let down, but more than compensated for by the tangy Pepper and Garlic Fried Pork. A beautiful setting and lovely meal at reasonable prices. The trip advisor link is below, and Im sure there is a few things for Kids to do, so maybe a great family day out.

Banana Bar

Reviewed By David B - Rayong, Thailand

It's nearly two years since we were last on Koh Samet, but Banana Bar was the place of choice for breakfast on the first morning.
It is on the right hand side of the road as you walk from Nadam Pier across to Sai Kaew Beach. It is easily recognisable because a large plastic banana hangs over the entrance
It is a family business, and somehow the mother manages to offer breakfast in between running her daughter to school on her motorbike.
Service is slow, but worth the wait, because the eggs, bacon, sausage, freshly squeezed orange juice and large mug of coffee are exactly as you ordered them.

Bee Happy Restaurant

Reviewed By Arash J

We had 3 dinners from Bee Happy and enjoyed all 3 very much. Mr. Happy arranged to pick us up at our place and also the transport back to our house.
They also do home Delivery.
The food is very tasteful and it's priced fair. We tried many different dishes and all of them tasted good.
The place is very much how Thailand looked like 20 years ago. Very old fashion and I actually like it.
I would very likely to recommend this place to give it a try.
The only reason for not give Mr. Happy 5 points. Is the WC. I understand that he want to keep everything as it original but sometimes somethings have to be improved in order to please all the customer.

Reviewed By Nuhch - Swiss Alps, Switzerland

Second holiday on Samed Island and second time at Samed Villa Restaurant. Food was ok, fusion Thai food, good for tourist, not that autentic for Thai. Service very slow, to order drink (water and glas) took more than 15min. Got wrong food again, but without discussion the food was replaced. Wonderful place directly on the beach. If it wasn't for the location, we wouldn't have been here the second time.

Really nice seafood, next to the river. Comprehensive nice menus. Prices are quite ok. About 200 a dish, rest by weight. Atmosphere is nice but a little bit disturbed by the plastic chairs and partly plastic plates. Anyway, food is excellent and the place always very crowded with 98% locals.

C-Salt

This bright and airy all day dining restaurant offers spectacular views of the Gulf of Thailand, providing both indoor and al fresco dining. The breakfast buffet exudes freshness and offers cooked to order items. The a la carte menu kicks in at lunch and dinner, centered around the wooden oven that bakes fresh pizzas. The ambiance is radiant and lively during the day with natural light flooding in through the doors to ocean view windows. As the day turns into evening, a sophisticated atmosphere takes over. The menu, the wine, the sunset, paints the mood for a classy dinner.
