We ate at Koh on a Tuesday in July 2013. Arriving at around 9pm, we had no problems getting a table without a reservation, but the restaurant quickly filled up in the subsequent hour.
My first impression was that of an exceptionally stylish modern, but not posh restaurant. The menu consisted of some small plates, labelled street food (spring rolls, wontons etc.), a few smaller plates, 4 different curries and a few other mains. There were also three our four desserts to choose from. The food is a mix of different southeast asian cuisines, with some modern european touches.
We were quickly attended to by the sweet watress, who supplied each of us with some excellent drinks (redcurrant mojito and kumquat gin & tonic). Although the restaurant was full, the two waiters managed to keep everything under control, supplying us with our food quickly, and making sure we were all right thoughout the evening. We had duck and mango spring rolls as a starter, which were fresh and flavoursome. For mains, we choose the green curry with prawns and chicken, and the malay red curry with confit of duck, along with extra vegetables and rice. The green curry was fresh and zingy, exactly as it should be, but the real star of the meal was the red curry. Simply put, this is the best asian dish I have ever had (although I of course am taking some liberties in calling it an asian dish, but be that as it may). Amusingly, the diners at our neighbouring table expressed the exact same sentiments when they were served the malay curry :) The combination of crispy confit duck and a spicy and full-flavoured rec curry sauce was truly genious. For dessert, we had the banana fritters with butterscotch, which were by my mum (a banana fan, unlike me) to be delicious, and a white chocolate and macademia parfait with coffee caramel sauce, which was also good. In total for three drinks, water, a starter, two mains and two desserts, the bill came to a modest €66.
In essence, Koh has it all - atmosphere, service, excellent food and that 'it factor' that makes for a great restaurant. If you tire of spanish food while in Palma and crave some brighter flavours, Koh is just the ticket!
