O Restaurant

4.8(698 reviews)

Situated within the Le Vimarn Cottages & Spa resort on Koh Samet, O Restaurant offers guests and visitors a refined dining experience in one of the island's more tranquil settings. The restaurant's affiliation with Samed Resorts positions it as a polished option on an island where dining quality can vary considerably, making it a reliable choice for those seeking a more considered meal beyond the standard beachside fare. Open every day of the week from 7:00 in the morning until 10:30 at night, O Restaurant covers the full range of daily meals, from breakfast through to a late dinner service. This consistent schedule makes it a practical option for travellers with flexible itineraries or those arriving on the island later in the day. The extended hours also mean it suits both early risers and those returning from an afternoon on the water. For those not staying at the resort, it is worth checking with the restaurant directly regarding access and reservations, as some resort restaurants on Koh Samet prioritise guests. The official website at samedresorts.com provides current menu information and contact details. Koh Samet is accessible by ferry from Ban Phe pier in Rayong, and the restaurant's address in Tambon Phe refers to the mainland district — visitors should confirm directions once on the island.

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.
