Kikekla Bar & Restaurant

4.8(711 reviews)$$$$

Kikekla Bar & Restaurant is a popular dining and drinking spot on the island of Koh Phangan, drawing a loyal following from both locals and travellers. Its consistently high ratings point to a place that delivers on quality and atmosphere, making it a reliable choice for those looking to eat and unwind away from the island's more frenetic party scene. Guests can expect a relaxed, welcoming environment suited to leisurely meals and casual drinks. The mid-range pricing makes it accessible without sacrificing quality, and the broad daily opening hours — from 9am through to 10pm — mean it works equally well for a late breakfast, a long lunch, or an evening meal with drinks. The combination of food and bar offerings in one setting gives it a versatile appeal for solo travellers, couples, and small groups alike. Good to know: Kikekla is open six days a week, closing on Wednesdays, so it is worth planning accordingly if that falls on your intended visit day. Those travelling without a fixed itinerary will find the consistent hours across the rest of the week easy to work around. For the latest updates on specials or events, the Facebook page linked on their listing is the most reliable source of current information.

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.
