Baobab Restaurant

Best Place in Ko Samui!! Excellent restaurant, atmosphere and service is the best. You have sun beds and excellent view to the ocean. No need to rent them. We absolutely love this place. I would love to come back and spend the day.

Baobab Restaurant in Koh Samui offers a delightful dining experience that stands out for its excellent food, charming atmosphere, and incredibly friendly staff. The dishes are well-prepared, showcasing a variety of flavors that cater to both local and international palates. The ambiance is inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal by the beach. However, the experience is slightly tarnished by two factors. The restaurant can get quite crowded, which detracts from the intimate vibe one might seek. Moreover, the decision to allow smoking can be particularly off-putting for non-smokers, as it disrupts the enjoyment of an otherwise lovely meal. Overall, Baobab is a great option for food lovers, but management might want to reconsider their smoking policy to enhance the dining experience for everyone. 4 out of 5 stars!

Beautiful place right in front of beach and wonderful services from the land of smiles, food is edible and parking can be an issue if you drive….

Absolutely wonderful place to enjoy the breezy atmosphere and seafront views of the lovely Lamai beach; along with refreshing drinks and good foods. The setting is unique yet very spot on with its totally laid back decor. The cozy beachfront restaurant offers extensive sun lounging stations with umbrellas by the beach to enjoy the breeze and the sun. The food menu offers a plentiful selection of Thai and International dishes (and fresh pastries), and the portions I found them to be more than abundant and enjoyable. Owner and staff are incredibly pleasant and always come around to make sure everything is ok and enjoyed. What I really like is that this place doesn't seem to have chaotic energy of any sort with the patrons here, despite it always being filled and full of people. This place flourishes with people, yet it was so incredibly laidback and relaxed.

Perfect beach and good food. Owners are very nice and friendly. Can’t miss it. 🤩

Great establishment ran by French owners. Food is very good, although lacking vegetarian options, and the location (on the beach) is perfect

5 star food on the beach. Don’t be put off by the old menus and tired furniture. Outstanding food, highly recommend.

We spent the day at Baobab, starting with getting sunbeds and towels, and then having lunch at the restaurant. We actually found Baobab through the webcam stream they have before leaving home, and we were not disappointed! Great service at the beach and in the restaurant. The owner himself came out and greeted us, which was very nice. The food and the recommended passion mojito was excellent, and last but not least the beach is beautiful! Bring cash, and if you want a massage, the ladies from the neighboring massage parlor offer a variety of massages and treatments. We can wholeheartedly recommend Baobab and can easily get why this place has existed for 19 years!
