    Absolutely stunning restaurant tucked into a private garden off the street. Excellent service, truly wonderful people. Food was beyond any expectations - best seafood I've ever had. If you're in the area, this place is well worth it, and the price is pennies for the quality you get.

    This restaurant is the best place to eat at by a long shot. Great variety of food from different cultures, absolutely delicious, very clean, beautiful setting. Great value for money. Candles, paintings, hanging plants. Lights in the trees. Friendly staff. There’s a cooking school upstairs. We ate here for lunch and dinner multiple times, it’s our favorite restaurant in Koh Lanta. Us three Kiwis highly recommend!

    Amazing food, great staff and cute dogs. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options. We loved it and we also ordered some bread from their restaurant bakery.

    I echo all the other 5 star reviews here. The Garden Restaurant is amazing! We ate dinner twice and breakfast once here. The food is fresh and very tasty. I strongly recommend the Buddha Bowl or the falafel wrap with garlic sauce. We LOVED the pancakes, French toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast. Everything is perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out quickly!

    The Garden, by far, has the BEST breakfast in Koh Lanta. Although we ordered delivery every single day of the 1 week stay to our villa, we never tire of the awesome breakfast. Not only was it delicious, but it was esthetically pleasing and prepared with love as well. The sourdough bread, ciabatta, baguette sandwiches, pancakes, and smoothie/yoghurt bowls were amazing. Vegan options were super yummy as well, even though I'm not vegan, but they do a fantastic job with the mango and avocado sandwich. Thank you for making our vacation mornings that much sweeter.

    In "The Garden" you'll find the most beautiful, colourful, nourishing Soulfood! A great selection of food from around the world, high quality ingredients prepared with love. If you are looking for healthy breakfast, excellent coffee and homemade bread, which is not so easy to find on the island, this is your place! Do youself a favour and treat yourself to a meal in "The Garden"!

    Visited here in June 2022 - Absolutely fresh food and very tasty. The chef-owner has travelled the world and loves to create her own takes on global food with a Thai touch. The service is an absolute delight too. Their breakfast is to die for.

  • 2/5 Moniek V. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was really slow, our main dishes arrived half an hour apart. Food was mediocre and a little overpriced. Moreover, they didn't have everything on the menu. Much better places to eat on Lanta.

  • 5/5 James M. 4 years ago on Google
    The food here is excellent! Had the green curry, penang curry, and pad thai over the course of 3 visits. Every time the food has been outstanding. The staff is also quite friendly, their english is very good, and if you're lucky their dog may swing by your table for pets.

  • 5/5 Katharina D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best breakfast experience in Thailand so far!! Absolutely worth a visit. You have the choice between various options - don't miss out on the homemade sourdough bread! Delicious!

  • 5/5 Meena K. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and a peaceful atmosphere. Good vegan options. The sourdough is delicious and the portion sizes are filling. Fresh juices were also lovely. I enjoyed every meal I had here!

  • 5/5 Tommi L. 1 year ago on Google
    Really amazing place. The food is sooo good, service is warm hearted, and venue is beautiful. We tried little but everything from seafood salads to Mexican and every single plate was perfection. Best place so far in Thailand 😊

  • 5/5 Helena R. 1 year ago on Google
    We had one of the best breakfasts during our stay here at Koh Lanta. The homemade sourdough bread is awesome. We’ll definitely come again!! Also the cold pressed juice is very good. You can choose your 3 favorites 😊

  • 5/5 Visa Travel Phi P. 11 months ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. We have eaten there every day during our stay in loh lanta and everything was delicious. Nice wraps and salads. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Patricie O. 5 months ago on Google
    The best restaurant so far in Krabi - I felt welcomed since first moment I arrived. The atmosphere with the lights is amazing and calm compared to the restaurants along the main street - finally no laud scooters. After 2 weeks travelling in Krabi and trying different kind of Thai food, I found the best spring rolls, unfortunately did not take picture… for main dish, I wanted to have something else than Thai food, so I appreaciated mexican cousine, but there is way more on menu - including Thai food, poke bowls, salads, wraps. The chicken burrito was just perfect as well the passion fruit mojito! I can highly recommend and for sure I need to come at least once more time for coffee during my few days left at Koh Lanta. Also cooking classes are organised by the restaurant owners! Update with pictures after today second time at The Garden restaurant - and again amazing experience! Pure enjoyment 🤩

  • 5/5 Occams R. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the my favorite place in Koh Lanta. The menu is delicious and too wide, you can choose dishes of different cuisine. Swedish meatballs with mashed potato are awesome! Owners and staff are kind and nice people. They provide good quality service. Garden around the restaurant is adorable. Highly recommended to visit!

  • 5/5 Caitlin S. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant with fairy lights lighting up all the trees! Had the vegan Buddha bowl and some noodle dishes - delicious!!

  • 5/5 Simon von S. 5 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place! There are many good restaurants but this has by far the best ambience and food. No loud motorcycles or cars driving by, super nice light-design and super fast and kind service. We had mexican food (also many other styles available) and it was delicious. After one week of daily Thai food we searched for something different and it was top notch. Tip: try also the cocktails! 🙏

  • 5/5 Astha P. 3 months ago on Google New
    A beautiful home cafe.. a humble owner who not only runs the cafe but even teaches baking and a self starter who traveled her way to Mexico to train herself for Mexican food.. and she made a wonderful fish taco.. flavourful in each bite !! When in Koh Lanta this restaurant has to be on your list 👍

  • 5/5 Óttar S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great service. We had tenderloin steak that was really good. The hostess talked to us and was the only one in thailand who knew where our country is :) recommend!!

  • 5/5 Cristian O. 4 years ago on Google
    Best restaurant on Koh Lanta and possibly my favorite in Thailand! Amazing service, atmosphere, and food. Top notch in every aspect! MUST TRY

  • 5/5 M H. 5 years ago on Google
    I found this new place by a recommendation from a friend who said they had the best Khao Soi on the island, and might be right! It was pretty awesome, super authentic. Really nice venue where they put some thought into the decoration and ambiance. Owner is super nice and you can tell she cares a lot about the small details and her food. Strongly recommended.

  • 5/5 Blanca N. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved it! Just been there for dinner and it was amazing. The place is really nice with an amazing back garden, the service was excellent and the food was incredibly tasty. We had the spicy chicken spring rolls, a fresh orange juice, beer, red curry with duck and pineapple and some quesadillas. Everything was delicious. We also got a sweet rice and mango dessert and it was really beautifully presented and really yummy. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Charlotte S. 4 years ago on Google
    The food here is amazing. The owner also has a cooking school. She is so good! Not only the best Thai food, but also the Mexican and Indian food she makes is just the best we ever had. We have eat here for 5 days in one week, wauw!!

  • 4/5 Alina p. 5 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff and tasty food but too expensive. If we didn’t have a 30% off coupon that they were distributing on the beach, we probably wouldn’t have eaten here. Didn’t have any thicker style needles which was a disappointment. The chicken money bags and spring rolls were good.

  • 5/5 Tomáš D. 4 years ago on Google
    One of best dining experiences we had in Thailand so far ! You can taste that food is made with love. Service quality was way over standart. I recommend live music Thursday = )

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Definitely the best Phad Thai on the island. Great service. Everything perfect! really: must-go restaurant. (Original) Definitiv bestes Phad Thai auf der Insel. Super Bedienung. Alles top! wirklich: Must-Go Restaurant.

  • 5/5 Jens 3 years ago on Google
    Not only is the food delicious, but also it's one of the places that's still open in these quiet times. Many restaurants are, understandably, closed due to current situation. However a few of the better ones are still open, some with reduced menus. As for the Garden Restaurant I don't think they have reduced their menu, they were out of swedish meatballs, however she said the usually have it. Both quesadilla and toast skagen were great. Highly recommended.

    Food was exceptional, we got the moo Hong and chicken quesadilla. Highly highly recommend the moo Hong!! Staff was very friendly, we also met the owner and he was a very nice guy. A tad overpriced but that’s just how it is on the islands.

  • 1/5 David K. 4 years ago on Google
    Place was empty when i arrived but I waited half an hour for a burger (!?) which in exchange was one of the worse I ever had and I got some sort of fried large pieces of potato instead of wedges. Prices are around double to triple compared to what you pay usually in Thailand. One star for the garden setting. Avoid.

  • 5/5 Debra L. 4 years ago on Google
    We've eaten here three times in the last week food is delicious, hot & reasonably priced. Staff are friendly , courteous and efficient. What more could you want ?! 🤷‍♀️

  • 5/5 Zenon B. 4 years ago on Google
    Easily one of the best culinary experience in all of Thailand. Whatever you choose, it's tasty, carefully made and isn't necessarily deep fried. We tried almost every kind of dish (pizza, burgers and thai) and all was top notch. You can even choose the spicyness level. Thai-spicy Tom Yum finally made me sweat.

  • 5/5 Christian S. 4 years ago on Google
