Just been for an absolutely fabulous meal in this restaurant. Don't be put off by the looks of this place as it looks just like a cafe/ diner or the location as its on a main street. The food on offer is simply fantastic. My wife and I had a sample platter of most of the starters on the specials... More

Have been here a handful of times over the past couple of years and have never had a bad meal. The food is sensational, great value for money and the service is good.

We read up on the reviews for Cafe 69, tapped it into the sat nav and found it down on the left of Bophut Ave. We arrived and it was completely empty. Hang on a sec, Saturday night, 8pm, surely not the right place? - Turned out the local night market was on and everyone had gone there, but I... More

We went to café 69 3 times during our 8 night stay. I tried snapper for the first time & loved it. Viviane the owner & chef personally recommended this dish. He cooks ut in a coconut curry sauce with mango. DELICIOUS. Viviane comes out if the kitchen to meet all diners & makes you feel very welcome. We just... More

Popped in here on our first night in Bophut and met Vivian who took us through the menu. We booked for a couple of nights later and were not disappointed! We both loved the famous curry dumplings which are fried, not steamed, the filling was sublime. I went for more of a tapas main and had the chicken sushi and... More

Believe all you read about Café 69 here. The atmosphere, music, food and staff were all top notch and we could not fault a thing. We were only in Koh Samui for a night and it a pity as we were eager to return the following night, but time was against us. Try the papaya salad with baby crab…orgasmic! TIP:... More

Wonderful thai food!!! . Creative flair by master chef Vivian. We had our toddler there and Vivian whipped up a flavoursome and nutritious chicken and vegetable congee no problems at all ( which our little one adored...). Besides the impromptu catering for a child, the array of dishes shared amongst 3 adults were all just Devine. The chicken pie with... More

This funky little restaurant right at the edge of the busy main road in Bophut has great reviews. I can tell you without reservation they don't do it justice and I won't be able to either. I am a foodie from a great foodie city and I travel extensively and eat well. The taste sensations at 69 place it at... More
