1. 2 Fishes
$$$$ | Tambon Bophut |One of the most creative restaurants on Samui fuses culinary sophistication with a welcoming, casual atmosphere in keeping with its surroundings. Chefs perform alchemy from the venue's open-counter kitchen, providing dishes such as linguine with prawns, clams, mussels, and chilies in a white wine and tomato sauce; and king prawns with garlic, chili, and lemon.

2. Cafe des Amis
$$$$ | |Belying Pattaya's slightly unsophisticated reputation, this fine dining haven oozes Gallic class. Tucked away in a residential district between Pattaya and Jomtien, it's something of a romantic refuge. And the food helps to elevate proceedings with choice offerings including premium steaks and showstoppers such as Japanese scallops with black pudding and cauliflower puree and lamb shank spiced with paprika, chili, and cumin.
319/6 10 Thap Phraya Rd., Pattaya, Chonburi, 20260, Thailand66-08-40264989Known For
- Some of the best steaks in town
- A formidable wine selection
- Charming courtyard and al fresco dining area
-
3. Benihana
$$$$ | |The concept—one familiar to western visitors, especially those from North America—is not exactly authentic to Japan or any country for that matter. But Benihana's take on Japanese-style teppanyaki has proved to be an enduring formula. The template is followed to a tee at its Pattaya outlet with flamboyant chefs cooking up a storm before diners' eyes.
281/2-4 M.10 Beach Rd., Pattaya, Chonburi, 20260, Thailand66-38-412120Known For
- Nice sake selection
- All the ingredients for an entertaining evening
- Good steaks

4. Chez Francois
$$$$ | Tambon Bophut |Chef/owner Francois Porte holds fort at this bijou fine dining option in Bophut. While the prices seem lofty by Samui standards, they are actually very reasonable considering the caliber of the culinary offerings. Menu highlights include mustard- and herb-crusted New Zealand rack of lamb and baked fresh grouper fillet topped with herb crust and served with lemon butter sauce.

6. Long Dtai
$$$$ | Choeng Mon Beach |Australian chef David Thompson is a legend of Thai cuisine, having helped raise its profile internationally at Nahm, his legendary venture in Bangkok. This, his debut on Koh Samui, is a more casual affair. Here he hones in on southern Thai flavors to outstanding effect. Expect creations with plenty of fire such as spicy yellow curry with prawns and local fish, or mellower dishes like five-spice duck eggs.
24/269 Moo 5, Koh Samui, Surat Thani, Thailand66-077-602–3012Known For
- A southern sojurn by a master of Thai cuisine
- Uncompromising spicy flavors
- Very reasonable prices

7. Ocean 11
$$$$ | Tambon Bophut |This restaurant's unapologetically Western menu attracts Americans and Europeans. Soft-shell crab on arugula and white snapper baked in a banana leaf provide a refreshing change of pace from Thai-centric fare.

8. The Cliff
$$$$ | Lamai Beach |Halfway along the road from Chawaeng to Lamai, the Cliff perches on a big boulder overlooking the sea.

The lunch menu includes sandwiches and hamburgers; among the dinner highlights are steaks and Mediterranean specialties.

9. The Page
$$$$ | Chaweng Noi Beach |Stick to the fun and interesting cocktails at the Library's popular restaurant—it claims to make 101 different kinds—and after a few sips you'll feel as hip as the surroundings. The menu is mostly Thai, featuring contemporary takes on traditional favorites like prawns with garlic and pepper, and sea bass with chili and basil.
