Peace and love restaurant
Tucked away in Sala Dan, the main village and ferry hub of Koh Lanta, Peace and Love Restaurant draws a loyal following of travellers and locals alike with its straightforward, affordable Thai cooking. The casual, unpretentious setting makes it an easy place to settle in after arriving on the island or before catching a ferry, and the consistently high praise from diners points to food that reliably delivers on both taste and value. Visitors can expect a relaxed, low-key atmosphere with a menu centred on classic Thai dishes. The budget-friendly price level makes it accessible for backpackers and cost-conscious travellers without compromising on quality or portion size. Fresh ingredients and generous, honest cooking appear to be the hallmarks here, with the kind of no-fuss approach that keeps people coming back throughout their stay on the island. Good to know: Peace and Love Restaurant is open seven days a week from 9:00am to 8:00pm, making it a reliable option for breakfast through to an early dinner. Given its location near the Sala Dan ferry pier, it can get busier around ferry arrival times, so arriving slightly off-peak ensures a more relaxed experience. There is no website for advance information, so visiting in person is the best way to check daily specials or availability.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
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.
