Only a few years ago the culinary scene in Koh Tao was rather basic. Classic Thai dishes together with little western additions like American breakfast, pancakes, sandwiches and French fries have been on the daily menu.

Nowadays caterers and cooks from all nations have settled on the island and added drastically to the food variety. Lots of excellent restaurants are offering culinary delights from all over the world.

You can get pizza, homemade pasta, smoked salmon, sushi, nachos, enchiladas, Wiener sausages, imported steaks, bangers with mash, pies and so on.
Same goes for the liquid delights, draught and imported beers, wine, spirits, fabulous cocktails,- nothing is missing.

Fresh markets offer all sorts of tropical fruit and also prepare them on the spot to a shake of your choice. Bakeries sell fresh bread and pastries, and there is even pizza delivery service!
