So let yourself walk around to see which space fits your 'vibe ' at that moment. I ate here three times while in Koh Lanta and picked a different space each time. The vegan pizza had a cheese that seemed to be made from tofu. It wasn 't really super cheesy, but it was still good. I also had a spaghetti marinara one day, with a side order of hummus. So for me, this was a good place to go when I wanted a change of pace from Thai food because I stayed on Koh Lanta a long time and on a few occasions, I wanted something different from the multiple great Thai options on the island. That said, I did order a plate of the Thai staple Morning Glory when I wanted a green vegetable and it was well prepared. Also, they had a good cocktail and free wifi with big spacious wooden tables. So easy to relax here, and a lot of space to go with friends. The waitress enjoyed speaking English and was very friendly and remembered me when I came back a second and third time. One night I even didn 't have any money by accident, and they were cool and just said to come back the next day to pay, as I was staying close by and they knew me. So good vibes all the way around. Note I am writing this review in August 2023, but I ate here in July 2023. Updated from previous review on 2023 08 16

Cocktails were also spot on, not at all too sweet. Spring roll was a little weird: the pastry was sweet and it looked like a pastie but it was full of glass noodles. Service was friendly and relaxed. Great place to spend the arvo on a hot day. Updated from previous review on 2019-12-30

Some good veg options but I found this place really expensive compared to others and the portions weren’t that big. read more Some good veg options but I found this place really expensive compared to others and the portions weren’t that big.

We were here twice in the afternoon; to have a dinner in the evening, you might need to book in advance (we saw an impressive waiting line as we were passing by after sunset). It seems this place has a unique cooking style, so you’ll barely find the dishes of a similar taste anywhere in Thailand. The portions are huge, don’t order too many dishes at once. We made this mistake and both times felt note than full. To me, the food was a bit of too substantial, but if you plan to come back to your hotel room and relax till the end of the day, it’s not a problem. The staff is very friendly. Give this place a try!
