Panorama restaurant
Tucked into the quieter northern coast of Koh Samui in the Maenam area, Panorama restaurant draws consistent praise from visitors and holds an impressive rating across dozens of reviews. Its location within the Maenam subdistrict places it away from the busier southern and eastern parts of the island, making it a natural choice for travellers staying in this more relaxed corner of Samui or those looking to escape the crowds.
The restaurant operates throughout the day, opening at 07:30 and serving through to 22:30 every day of the week, which makes it a flexible option whether guests are after an early breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or a sit-down dinner. The consistent hours across all seven days mean there is no need to plan around weekend or holiday closures.

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.
