Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away on the tranquil island of Koh Kood, In the Mood for Love has built a strong reputation among visitors looking for a quality dining experience away from the busier tourist hubs of the Gulf of Thailand. The name sets the tone — this is a place designed with atmosphere in mind, drawing couples and travelers who want their meal to feel like more than just a stop for food.

The restaurant's website suggests a carefully considered concept, and its consistent visitor praise points to both the quality of the cooking and the overall experience. Located at address 3/9 in Tambon Ko Kut, it sits within reach of the island's quieter southern reaches, making it a natural choice for those staying nearby or willing to make the trip specifically for dinner.

Practically speaking, Koh Kood is a less developed island than neighbors like Koh Chang or Koh Samui, so transport options can be limited. Visitors are advised to check the restaurant's website at inthemoodforlovekohkood.com for current opening hours and to contact ahead for reservations, particularly during peak season between November and April when the island sees its highest number of visitors. Given the island's relaxed pace, arriving early and allowing the evening to unfold at a leisurely pace suits the spirit of the place well.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
