Alchemy Cafe

Restaurant

👍 Needed a place to hangout on Lipa Noi beach, found this delightful place. Full range menu (with good range of healthy options) but only tried a few healthy desserts and drinks, very, very good. A little pricy but considering a use of the pool (for the kids) and beach front access, it was very ok.... People often mention beach, good, sunset, vegan, location,

    One of the best places on the island for a sunset dinner. Food can be a bit hit or miss but Lipa Noi is a lovely beach and the staff are friendly and helpful. Selection of Thai and western dishes, and given that the resort offers yoga retreats, there is also a solid vegan offering too

    This restaurant is within a hotel and very nicely situated on Lipa Noi beach. We went for lunch which was very relaxing. It must be ideal for sunset drinks / dinner. They have an extensive menu of Thai and western food, at very reasonable prices. The food is very well presented and tasty. The gaprow gai (chicken) and morning glory were simple and delicious. Good service. Well worth trying.

    Beachfront restaurant serving an array of tasty dishes and cocktails. We went for the sunset views and for the tranquil atmosphere — and it exceeded expectations. Be sure to wear mosquito repellent as at sunset there are many bugs (more than we personally experienced on Bophut and Chaweng beaches). Staff is so friendly and nice. Recommended!

    I came here 2 days in a row and had two different dishes and both of them were very hard to eat. Pretty food doesn’t make for food that you can actually eat without slobbering and having the food get all over your hands and face. The avocado tomato mushroom toast had all the lettuce keep falling off the toast and getting all over my Hands and mouth. The soup potato french fries were all tangled together and very hard to eat. You could barely get one tiny little fry at a time in your mouth. Also very oily. The location is pretty and staff attentive. Pretty clean bathrooms and nice comfy tables. Maybe I’ll just come for a coconut next time. The food didn’t give me confidence to want to try it again

    We have eaten here twice this week! We love it! Delicious vegan, vegetarian, healthy choices. Attentive but not in your face service. Very relaxed, peaceful and they let us use the on site pool! There are so many amazing things about this place and we are thinking of booking the hotel for our next stay in Thailand! There is a quiet beach, sunbeds, massages available a little way down. Beautiful sunsets. Clean toilets and showering facilities. Plenty of parking.

    Great spot for sunset, beautiful beach, service is friendly, serving in big plates. Pizza test amazing, best value for money. Varies choices of salads.

    Amazing location, and the coffee and chicken cashew nut was really good. The service is a bit slow, albeit very friendly, and the pina colada, while it tasted great, there was not enough ice. Still recommend as the setup is super nice - beautiful view of the sea and a strip of beach.

    We didn't stay at this resort however we ate at the Alchemy Cafe on at least 5 occasions during our 2 week stay in Lipa Noi. The cafe has an extensive vegetarian menu, the food was delicious and we worked our way through the cocktail menu too. It's a very relaxing place to sit and watch the sun go down whilst enjoying a drink and good company. Our daughter went to yoga classes there and had a massage and pedicure, which she rated highly.

    The location and stuff is really nice but unfortunately the food isn't. Prawn tempura were too dry and overcooked and the seafood linguine's sauce was for my taste too sweet.

    A typical 3 star hotel restaurant with average food with above average prices. No wine selection but a 300 baht corkage fee. When we asked for wine glasses we were told there would be a 200 baht fee per glass if we break one. Not quite sure why a hotel is warning guests of fines for possibly breaking a wine glass, especially when we are paying $200 a night for the hotel! That is very strange. Maybe the owner makes the staff pay if guests break something? Breakfast is from 7:30 to 10:30....but make sure you arrive by 10 because they start packing up early! Didn't really find seafood on the menu. Spoiled pineapple every day at breakfast. No papaya. :( Nice omelets though. Enjoying them daily.

    Very good place to eat and drink in front of the beach. Good healthy food also vegan. And a lot of healthy smoothies and juices

    Nice view on sunset. Very expensive. Kitchen without soul. Standard. Not tasty. Special cocktail BigJohn - fully bullshit. Other coctails - not so good.

    Great place with a deep soul, beautiful view and very kind staff. Great meals! Best in the island! You can not find here any chemicals additive in food. If you likes a lot of salt and souses with flavour enhancer, this place is not for you. Delicious non dairy sweets. We are definitely your regular customers!

    Netty. Was. Here. When there’s a whole island to explore it’s amazing to find hidden little gems like this one. A stunning location for a sunset on the more quiet; Southwestern side of the island. Whole organic foods grown at the front door of this restaurant/stay location. Sizeable portions of delicious freshly grown produce presented in creative and filling ways.

    The location is nice. Apart from that I wouldn’t bother. They told us they took card, they didn’t. They say they serve vegan options and have signs saying ‘vegan’ outside. We ordered the vegan options. They turned up with butter and cheese on them. A shame as the place itself is beautiful.

    Great sunset view on one of the most beautiful beach in Samui. Healthy foods and drinks, great options

  • 3/5 Yannick W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was ok, but nothing special. Definitely not as tasty and rich in flavour as many other places. Tom yum for example wasn't spicy at all, the green curry was slightly better.

  • 2/5 Sil N. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Sprouts rotten, pre-cut salad veggies dried out, watery dressing in a tiny cup, avo toast boring and too dry.. Tried a few times, but food is not good enough. Not for that price and from a health resort. As a resident I'd suggest papaya salad or vegetable tom yam from a local restaurant along the road. Busy and noisy between 12-2 (buffet for selected group) Wonderful staff though.

    Great tasty food. Very good for vegan. The view on the beach is beautifull.
