I tried the newish seafood restaurant in Bangrak the other day, called Daetong Seafood, close to the ghost road entrance. Very nice, good setting on the beach, friendly attentative ( but not overly) staff and was verry happy with all the seafood. Prices all very reasonable too.

Then for a different evening out went to Bubba's in Chaweng. Overall very disapointing, wont be going back there again.

Ate there as well, actually very big, approx. 150 seats which you don't notice from main road. Food okay, fresh, not overly tasty, and due to long way from kitchen to beach not really hot.

Tiger Prawns 700 Baht for 1/2 kg......I prefer the taste of Jun Hom in Bang Por, but its also slightly more expensive.

Found an excellent humble Burmese restaurant on Soi Haad Ngam in Chaweng.

Going south from PTK residence, it's the first shop on the second block on the right.

Excellent Burmese noodles, soup and tea for 30 baht.

No menu and you have to order in Burmese.

Luckily I have a wife that speaks the lingo.

Probably you can order in Thai also

Went to the same place alone today.

Managed to get Chicken Biryani and cabbage soup for 50 baht.

The real stuff, not what get served in touristy Indian restaurants.

I have a new favourite.

There is a newish place on the Laem Din road. Coming from the Chaweng Beach road, you carry on until you see two Seven Eleven shops on the right hand side in extremely close proximity to each other. Just after that is the Rung Thiam(my translation is probably rubbish) restaurant.

Looks like the usual roadside restaurant, but they appear have a proper chef in situ. He came back from Krungthep to help the family with their venture. So the meals are tasty and well presented. The prices are good. One plates meals are 50 baht. Separate dishes from 60 baht. Tasty, tasty, very tasty.

Don't just take my word for it, give it a try. Chef is a small and young looking guy with a moustache.

Nice, it's just outside from where I live. I've passed it but for some reason the premises didn't look too appealing to me, so I have never tried it. Will try it out tonight.

[Mole]

I've passed it a couple of times and it seems to be bustling day and night.

Their clientele seems to all be migrants.

I definitely must try it out.

Are there any restaurants serving Dutch food on the island?

Back to proper Burgers.

Try Bubbas.

I found them very good.

Try Bubbas.

nod, what were the prices like?

By the way, if anyone likes frozen margaritas, Bubbas is the place for you. They have an extensive menu dedicated to them, most are only 99 baht, and rather strong.

[susquosh]

Tam's restaurant (opposite World Gym on the ring road - near the lights to Laem Din market) has a huge advert outside - HD Burger.

I have no idea what it is, if they still do it, or if it is any good! But it is a huge sign of a burger!

Oh well - I think that I'll go for an Indian.

HD burgers belong to Herbert of visa run fame.Just opened in Nathon.

Sorry. Can't actually remember, but to be honest I don't mind paying more for quality, if you know what I mean.

There is an 'orange' restaurant just as you come into Chewang from Choengmon. On the right, just after Nora Resort (on the laft). I am sure that there is a Dutch restaurant/bar/guesthouse.

Also - there was one on a side street just before Zicos (Chewang) heading south. Big African BBQ place on the right side of the road - look down the sidestreets.

[Rooo]

I have the best burgers.

[wasas]

If the beers get sorted this could be the best chilli of 2013 on Samui.....

You would find it hard to beat the chilli Sweeney Todds used to make

Very true....their chilli was superb.

Mine is a different style....maybe you will get the chance to try it sometime....

Luna Hut Restaurant down near the Lomprayah Ferry (opposite Harry's Bungalows ) Maenam, has good food at reasonable prices, and nice atmosphere

[Mole]

I just ate at this place. The food is good and prices are same as everywhere. 50 bt for fried rice.

I asked the chef about his speciality and he recommended fried white perch with fish sauce. He also recommended various Thai spicy salads ยำ and ลาบ but I'm not into these kinds of food.

What is special about this place is that they have a bit more exotic meats such as crocodile, mutton, frog, quail and boar which can be prepared according to your wishes, fried, curry etc.

I will definitely have to try out these meats later. Fortunately it's right outside my place.

They open from 6 PM to 6 in the morning. Perfect when I'm up late and need something to eat in the middle of the night.

Are there any dedicated burger restaurants around Samui?

I've just been watching Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares where he sorted out this burger kitchen in L.A. and now I have a craving for a real nice burger.

edit - and I dont mean Burger King or McDonald's

You should rly try out the Bondi Burger! Located in Lamai and Chaweng Beach Road. Best one i've ever tried!

The best dinner buffet?

[samuijimmy]

The best dinner buffet?

If you are talking Thai Buffet, the place located at about Soi 7 in Maenam, usually has the best selection of food choices. (don't get there too late!)

There was one one the ring road, Chaweng but they have closed.

Russian Russian Russian - ABSOBLOODYLUTELY MARVELLOUS!

Bakal - right on the ring-road but terraced up a bit higher and back - 50 yards or so across the road from the back end of Bandara in Bo Phut.

Look for the dozens of red and yellow lights hanging outside.

The menu is in Russian and with the English just tacked on underneath: not good descriptions of the dishes.

But they are super - cop for what I've written below! This place is exceptional!

‘Pelmeni’ is similar in appearance to
Chinese-style dumplings and comes in a small bowl of light, clear broth.
Available with different meat and fish fillings, this is one of the more
traditional offerings, has a nice firm dough, is mildly rich, slightly savoury,
and has just a hint of spiciness. It’s delicious by itself. But dip it into the
dish of sour cream that comes with it and it just sings! Try it with a couple
of spoonfuls of the simply-named ‘Fried Potatoes with Mushrooms and Pork’. It’s
much akin to sautéed potatoes but cut into small strips and comes mixed with
lightly-fried onion and herbs.

The Russians are famous for their salads
and one of the tastiest here is just titled ‘Vinaigrette’. It’s a fabulous mix of
peas, apple, beetroot and tomato, just slightly sweet and not too vinegary, and
a perfect complement to its companion, the ‘Salad: Chicken Breast’. This is
potato salad gone wild. It’s another traditional salad and
it looks much like coleslaw at first glance.

You just have to
try the ‘Mussels with Spicy Sauce and Parmesan’. It’s an instant mouth
explosion, vigorously strong and tangy, not at all rubbery and only slightly
and pleasantly spiced. And with four huge mussels on the half-shell, that’s a
big serving. But, keeping the best for last, then there’s the smoked fish. It’s
a white snapper and sold by weight, but 250 gms is quite enough for two. This
is another traditional preparation: it’s cooked by smoking it over chips of oak
that Alex specially imports from Siberia. There’s the faintest tang of vanilla in

the firm succulent flakes, a hint of the aroma of butter, and it’s utterly,

mouth-wateringly, the best fish I've eaten on Samui.

The five dishes above totalled not a great deal more than 500 baht.

It's plenty enough for two people - get all the dishes on the table and pick

from them, Thai-style.Amazing value for money and for such excellent cuisine . . .

Howdy,

I tend to stay in Bophut when I visit Samui on vacation. Haven't been back since Feb 2011 and it's probably likely that things have changed in that time in the FV.

eg: one restaurant closes, another opens. We are looking forward to returning to Samui in June.

On previous visits, we have eaten at The Shack, Krua, Happy Elephant, Red Moon, H-Bistro (this was the standout meal on our last trip but quite pricey)

I am keen to know what everyone's favourite Fisherman's Village restaurant is and would be grateful for any other Bophut area recommendations, to add to the list.

BTW, I have already read this http://samui.thaivis...staurant-guide/

Thanks.

[Judo Chop]

Angela's Diner.... Ring Road, Corner of Soi 2 Maenam, near the Police station. 7 -11 on corner ........ New red sign (no longer yellow!!!!)

Good food for breakfast and lunch. from 7.30 am to about 4 pm.

Along with the restaurant she also makes great pies and bread and cakes to order... (best to order in advance so as to know which days she's making different items... ) If required they will text a message when things are available! .... Bread is usually made Friday or Saturday.... (that could change... so best to stop by and find out! )
