    Nice dining either on the beach or under roof. The restaurant is efficient and professional, the served us fast and remembered everything. The food was delicious and top notch. The restaurant has a nice view for a lovely sunset and the trees on the beach keep you dry in case of a sudden shower. Prices are reasonable. They will pick you up at your hotel, just call them. We were 11 adults and 1 child.

    The Island View Restaurant in Koh Samui is an absolute gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. From the moment I stepped in, the service was nothing short of exceptional—warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The staff's attentiveness added a personal touch to the overall atmosphere, making me feel truly appreciated as a guest. The culinary journey at this restaurant was a delight to the taste buds. The food was not only exceptionally fresh but also bursting with flavors that showcased the skill and dedication of the kitchen. Each dish seemed meticulously crafted, leaving a lasting impression on my palate. The cocktail served was a perfect complement, balancing sophistication with a burst of delightful tastes. What sets The Island View Restaurant apart is its breathtaking location. Nestled on the beach, the view is nothing short of paradise. The sight of long-tail boats gently floating on the water and distant islands painted against the horizon creates a postcard-perfect backdrop. The soundtrack of the waves softly rolling in and out adds a soothing rhythm to the entire dining experience, making it a sensory delight. In conclusion, The Island View Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking a harmonious blend of impeccable service, delectable cuisine, and a stunning beachside setting. It effortlessly captures the essence of Koh Samui's beauty, providing a dining experience that lingers in the memory long after the meal is finished.

    Loved this place, only 5 min walk from Intercontinental Hotel. Romantic setting, very popular for obvious reasons, great food, happy hour cocktails, sunset and a lovely bunch of people who work here. Do not hesitate, come here for sunset drinks and dinner.

    Fresh seafood and drinks on a sandy beach! We enjoyed both dishes and our shakes. I recommend the papaya salad or the fried sea bass.

    Beautiful sunset views by the sea! Really nice vibes and decorations. We even got to see a marriage proposal! The wine and cocktails were good too.

    This is without a doubt one of my favourite places on the island to come in the late afternoon for food and drinks. Sit under the shade of the giant trees with the sand between your toes. The food is delicious and so are the drinks. The sunsets from here can be breathtaking as you look out over the 5 islands. Stunning!!!

    What a beautiful and fantastic restaurant right on the beach. We stayed at a hotel near by and ended up coming here 3 days for lunch. The food is great the staff are very friendly. I forgot my Chanel sunglasses here and the staff Leo was kind enough to hold them till I came back another day.

    This has to be one of the greatest beach restaurants in Thailand. Food is incredible and very reasonably priced. Staff are all brilliant. Cocktails are perfectly made! If you’re on Samui you should absolutely make the trip along in time for sunset. Stunning!

    Great restaurant right on a very nice beach. We were the only people there - a lot of businesses along the west coast seem to have suffered particularly bad from covid. I’d definitely recommend coming here to help keep businesses like this going. The owner was very friendly and food and drinks very nice. We had an amazing banana and mango smoothie.

    What an incredible gem of a restaurant. Right on the beach with a perfect sunset view. The food was incredible and authentic Thai. Soft shell crab and Hor Mok should not be missed. Happy hour cocktails for 100baht were large and delicious. The staff was very attentive and even arranged a special birthday table for my wife when we returned for a second night. Thank you so much.

    I stayed down the beach at Samui Resort and opted to walk down the beach every night to eat at this place. Good food and drinks!

    I ordered red curry and asked for tofu instead of meat, what the waiter brought didn't seem to look like red curry, but the plate was full of tofu cubes and topped with some fat, it was very greasy and didn't taste good. This is not what good food looks like. I don't recommend eating vegan options here...

    Had a spot of lunch on an all day tour of Koh Sumui. Excellent. Very reasonable prices and certainly cheaper than other places we have visited (not that cost is a major problem if you are western, compared to costs locals would have to pay etc). A lovely setting and options for a romantic dinner, ideal for honeymooners. Food was amazing, Leo also served which is always a bonus.

    We stopped by for a late lunch from a friend’s recommendation and loved the place. The pomelo salad with prawns was amazing, definitely a must try. We also had a seafood bbq, which was very good and well priced. The Duck curry was ok, but I would not order again. Go for the seafood. They also have great drinks.

    What an awesome place for a lunch break after a round the island trip. Perfect midpoint stop. Located right on the beach, calm relax and beautiful. Price food and service were all good. Staffs were very friendly. Thai and seafood dishes are must.

    It’s worth to spending times with family here as long as you stay in intercontinental hotel area. Highly recommend to pick the outdoor as your dinning area that really enables you happy and relaxed. Food is tasted along with fast delivery once order has been made. Staff is really nice and caring. You’re able to enjoy your private space here without any disturbance.

    Very nice location with a beautiful view. Staff is great, tables set with table cloth. Food is also good, reasonable portions, ok price. Fruit smoothie prepared with real fruit (though combined with syrup).

    Beautiful sunset dinner tonight with 5 of us. We were the only ones there after 4 pm...fallout from Covid buts it’s a beautiful spot,service was excellent...happy hour drinks at 100 Baht were excellent. We ordered the scallops,barracuda,rock lobster and soft shell crab. Everything was a bit over cooked so that’s why only 4 stars. But the place is gorgeous and I would go again....

    This is a great budget restaurant with an amazing sunset view. Food is fantastic, we have been 5 times during our stay at the Intercontinental Hotel round the corner and each time we were very happy with the food and service.

  • 5/5 Alexandre H. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place, the amazing view on the islands, the tables by the beach, ideal for a lovely romantic dinner or cocktail with sunset. Nice staff as always. A great experience, we’ll come back asap! 🙏

    The location is right on the beach and the ambience is quite nice. Unfortunately, that's the only positive thing you can say about the restaurant. The food arrived way too late (only after 1.5 hours) and was also way too overpriced. I had the rock lobster (450 baht). But four shrimps were more similar. Far too little food but really expensive! It wasn't particularly tasty either. In any case, I can only advise against it. In contrast, the small restaurants on the street are more recommendable. It tasted better there at a much cheaper price. Incidentally, after my meal at "The Island view" I had to get another dish somewhere else because it was far from filling.

    Stopped in for a light snack and to enjoy the amazing view from this restaurant. Highly recommend the pomelo spicy salad
