Jose Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 If by "Fine Dining" you mean something above the average cuisine & quality, I would recommend Menu restaurant, about the closest I've been to a five-star Western restaurant in Koh Pha-Ngan. Menu is well-hidden just past Wok Tum, on the west coast about 3Km from Thongsala. For the tastiest Thai food, I would recommend lunchtime at the small establishment next to Numpanit, near Thongsala's post office. The pad se ew today was delicious, and so is their kao mok kai (yellow rice with chicken). jose '-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture the problem comes more from the supply chain specialty items must survive before arriving on the island. nor was there any indicator while we were eating the meal that something was amiss. many friends have gone and been very happy. they have a website, google menu restaurant koh phan ngan. it is apapently pronounced me n' you the kitchen is visible as you enter and is well kitted out and clean, the staff are sweet and attentive and the set ups very nice.

moneyshot Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 After visiting menu on two trips I was very impressed with the quality of food and service. The ambience of the restaurant was comfortable and relaxing. They have a great selection of cocktails and wines, and the menu is modern. The owners Nick and Anne are a lovely couple who went out of their way to make our visits special. I highly recommend anyone who appreciates good food and wine to try it out if traveling to Koh Pha Ngan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 (edited) I wholeheartedly agree, MoneyShot. BTW, it was recently pointed out to me that Me'n'u refers to "me & you", and not a cuisine list - rather clever. jose '-) Edited May 19, 2007 by Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seville Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well I was there about two months ago and enjoyed it. It was expensive, but Sushi is expensive everywhere. You are correct on the wasabi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
