    Best shakes and cocktails that I’ve had in Thailand so far! Very good prices too. Lovely and friendly staff that bring out games while you wait for you’re food, genius idea! Went many a time while I stayed on Phi Phi Island.

    Nice vegetarian restaurant with vegan options. Lots of different options like pizza, hummus, thai food. They have also fake meat and dishes with tofu. You can sit inside or outside. We ordered thai food. Overall it was ok but it could have been more spicy - there were almost no chili or garlic in the morning glory for example. We asked for extra chili powder then it was delicious. Cocktails were good and only 100 baht, cheapest offer we found while our stay on Phi Phi. Service was very slow. We waited 50 minutes for food in a normal visited restaurant. Also waiter was rude.

    Everything you need under two roofs. Good selection of Thai and western food plus vegan and vegetarian options. Good tasting quality food, and nice friendly service. We ate here twice during our visit on Koh Phi Phi.

    Quite disappointing. Had the green mango salad and it was super tiny. It's presented in the menu as a main dish, is even more expensive than some mains (even though its mango season. The green papaya salad was half of the price) and I was obviously still pretty hungry afterwards. The taste was good though. Also really not nice /cozy to sit there. Pity as it seems to be the only vegetarian restaurant in town.

    Such a tasty massaman curry and delicious thai tea! The waiter which I think may have been the owner was friendly and gave us connect 4 to play whilst waiting for food and drinks! Everything came out pretty quick considering how busy it was for a Tuesday night!

    Didn't really meet my expectations, it was nice, fast, friendly, but that's standard almost everywhere. The menu is rather extensive, it's kind of annoying going through 500+ dishes. My favorite was morning glory, that one was excellent. It's good, but not excellent.

    They serve best vegan food in the island. Best shakes and cocktails that I’ve had in Thailand so far! Very good prices too. Lovely and friendly staff that bring out games while you wait for you’re food, genius idea!

    Must visit! This is a small family run restaurant which I stumbled upon. They have 2 outlets facing each other. One is completely vegan & vegetarian while the other one serves non vegetarian food as well. I spoke to the owner, Ms. Dow, and she mentioned that they were very thoughtful about consciously keeping the kitchens separate. MS Dow, her husband and daughter run the 2 restaurants. You can find them taking orders and cleaning tables, running their business with dedication and zero fuss. For the veg restaurant, they took over an erstwhile book store. Conscious to not destroy or throw away books, they made it a part of their wall decor. The books are neatly stacked wrapped in plastic covers. During my conversation, Ms Dow mentioned that during Covid there was less business and she used the time to wrap books in plastic to extend their life. Ambience is cozy, service is quick, pricing is value for money and taste is pretty good. I really enjoyed my outing here. I would strongly recommend this place for anyone on Phi Phi island.

    It turns out that they have two restaurants- one for meat and the other for vegetarians, both with plenty of options. Though marketed as 'Vegan', a lot of vege options had milk and egg - which we found out after the food came out. They were happy to change it for us. We definitely recommend the 'Protein Fake Meat' section more than the others, as the food in this section were delicious. I had the Massaman Curry with the 'Duck' and it was incredible! Even a non-vegan friend was blown away at their 'duck' options.

    I visited the Dow vegan/vegetarian restaurant twice during my Phi Phi stay – once for breakfast and again for lunch. This place is impressively well-organized. They have got photos of most of their dishes on the wall and each item on the menu is numbered. When you order, they just jot down the number – no room for mix-ups. I gave their Tofu burger, deep-fried potato burger, Hummus & Pita bread with falafel, and Tomato spaghetti pasta a try. I must say, all of it was pretty darn delicious, and they didn't keep me waiting long. The prices seemed reasonable too. The flavors were spot on. Now, there was one thing that made me slightly skeptical. They assured me that the mayo with the burger was vegan, but I couldn't help but wonder if it had some egg in it, judging by the taste and thickness. They do consider eggs as vegetarian here, so that might explain it. In any case, I'd definitely recommend swinging by this place while in Phi Phi.

    We enjoyed our first meal so much that we returned the next evening. Great prices & selection. Delicious food. Kind and attentive staff. What more could you ask for?

    Best food I had in Thailand. We went there twice on our stay and tested 8 different dishes, every single one of them was extra ordinary and delcious. Portions are gigantic and service is very nice. Must visit if youre on Phi Phi. Good climate, you can play some board games there while waiting for food.

    We are vegetarians and love places that serve great veg food when we travel international. Dow Restaurant serves yum vegetarian fare and whatever we ordered turned out great. Service, taste and the street side ambiance are all 5star!

  • 5/5 Viktoria M. 4 months ago on Google
    Cute place on the island in the middle of the busy streets! Lot of vegan and veggie options! They have basically a thai food side and a western side! Thai food was absolutely delicious! Papaya salad was amazing! We took also some pad thai yummy and some tom ka soup which was a bit too many ginger and lemongrass pieces so was a bit hard to fish out the veggies! While you wait they give you some games to play super nice idea!! People were friendly !

    The menu is so big and struggled to decide on what to eat because there is so much! Food was quick to arrive and we played Connect 4 whilst we were waiting. There are loads of books to read too. We had 1 of the noodles and 1 of the pasta for dinner, it all tasted great, you can choose your level of spice, and the juices were refreshing too. We enjoyed our meals that much we ordered some to take away and eat the next morning as we had a ferry back. Would definitely recommend the tofu sandwich!

  • 5/5 Boodlal 11 months ago on Google
    This place has the widest range of vegan food I've come across! I was extremely impressed and I attached photos in case it would be useful for others who are interested . I'm happy that there are Thai vegan alternatives as it's quite difficult to find them in Thailand, and even more so, so centrally located in a place. In addition, it's also nice that you can have some continental dishes if you feel like. The customer service was really good, very friendly and bilingual staff for the most part. There two sides (kitchens etc) of the restaurants - the vegan side - and the non-vegan side are on opposite sides so you definitely no that there is no cross contamination. Of course you can sit where you please though. As for the environment, the place is clean, music is soothing and not too loud. Lastly, I also had take away as well, which came in a good quality container, cutlery and chopsticks. Would recommend :)

    One side of the street is for vegetarian/vegan and the other side for fish and meat eaters. We ate at the vegan side. Excellent tofu burger (120 ฿) and vegetable mushroom noodle soup (100 ฿). There are games to play while waiting for a short time. It’s a really expansive menu (see updated menu). The service was great, kind and friendly staff. The atmosphere is also really good with old travel and fiction books decorating the walls.

  • 3/5 Tzach B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was decent. My fish fillet was just okay even though I didn't ask for the fried version. It also came with a tiny side dish of hummus which was not so close to the original taste. My friend got a yellow curry stir fry with seafood, and 70% of her dish was onion. I wouldn't come back for the food. Service and atmosphere were good though.

  • 4/5 Bev 1 year ago on Google
    Decent food and many vegan options! I had the massaman curry with tofu which was really flavourful my gf on the other hand had fried vegetable noodles with cashews and tofu which were way too oily. Good portions for the price. Staff was friendly.
