Andalay Beach Cafe - Thailand

Staying at Dusit Thani, walking along the beach only 5mins from the hotel there is a cute beach hut/treehouse restaurant on the water's edge with swings suspended from the tree over the sand. It advertised that it was open until 8.30pm and a fireshow that evening. I returned with my family (4 of us) for dinner. Chicken satay appetiser is very large! One portion could have fed 2 or 3 people as a starter. The baked salmon steak with Mash was v good. Vegetable spring rolls were plentiful, too much for one person. The burger was enormous. One portion of fries also plentiful to share. Weeping Tiger steak was just OK, not terrific. Staff were v friendly. There was live music. The Andalay Signature cocktail was tasty as was the Pina Colada. Due to the Monsoon rains we had to sit inside the hut, which is cute . The beachfront tables must be fabulous in dry season or during Monsoon season when its not torrential rain! I was sure there wouldnt be a Fire Show, given the deluge of rain...but Yes there was!! The Fire show was just before 8pm, 3 young guys and it was spectacular!! Unfortunately there were only 2 tables of customers to watch their wonderful show! It was superb. I highly recommend going along for dinner or just drinks and take in the Fire Show if it's on. Really wonderful!

Lovely beach bar/restaurant. We had a few meals in here and all were perfect. Cocktails are lovely too. All staff are really friendly. The only downside to this bar is that they want you out quick. It was only 7.50 and they told us it was last orders. It would have been nice to stay a little longer.

This was the worst restaurant we have been to in our time in Thailand. We arrived at 7:40 PM and there was a sign that said the kitchen closed at 8:30. From the moment we sat down we felt that we were being rushed. We ordered a few different dishes and they were not good. The one chicken Thai dish seemed that it was just reheated from a buffet. Woke up the next morning with a bad stomach. I hate when that happens. Though it is in a good location on the beach, our experience was far from enjoyable. Many restaurants and this area that have excellent food and make you feel that you are wanted.

Great place to spend a few hours chilling by a suburb beach, we went here for lunch, cocktails and a Thai massage, wonderful location away from the madding crowds, cocktails are top draw, we had a pizza for lunch which was delicious followed by a 5 star Thai massage, if you’re looking to kick back unwind and let the world go by this is a must, loved it!

My wife and I went to this bar/ restaurant after a lovely walk along the beach. We managed to get a table in one of the many tree house pods. We had a lovely meal and a few drinks and unbeknown to us at the weekend they do a fire show. This made our experience here even better. Well worth a visit for the fire show alone.
