Mountain View Restaurant

Perched on Koh Tao, Mountain View Restaurant earns its name with scenery that complements the dining experience. Open every day of the week from 9:00am to 6:00pm, it caters to a broad crowd — from early risers looking for a morning meal to travellers seeking a relaxed lunch with a view. Its mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option without sacrificing quality, and its consistently strong reputation among visitors reflects a kitchen and setting that regularly delivers. The restaurant draws a loyal following from both locals and tourists exploring Koh Tao's interior, away from the busier beachfront strips. The elevated setting lends itself to a calmer, more scenic atmosphere than many of the island's coastal dining options, making it a worthwhile detour for those looking to combine a good meal with a change of scenery. Practically speaking, the restaurant closes at 6:00pm each evening, so it is not suited for dinner. Visitors planning to head up for lunch should note that midday hours can see more foot traffic, particularly during peak season. As the location sits along the Koh Phangan–Koh Tao road and involves some elevation, comfortable footwear is advisable if arriving on foot or by scooter. No website is currently listed, so it is worth asking locally about any seasonal changes to hours before making a special trip.
