Why go, and how to do it well

Situated along the beachfront road of Hat Sai Kaew — Koh Samet's most popular stretch of sand — The Kitt & Food offers a convenient mid-range dining option for travelers looking to eat well without straying far from the shore. Its position on the beach road makes it a natural stop for those spending the day on the island, whether arriving by ferry from the mainland or settling in for a longer stay.

The restaurant operates across all seven days of the week, opening at 09:30 and serving through until 21:30, which gives visitors flexibility across breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours. The mid-range pricing makes it accessible for most budgets, and the setting reflects the relaxed, unhurried pace that defines island life on Koh Samet.

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.
