The 10 Best Restaurants in Koh Lipe, Ranked
Walking Street does a lot of the heavy lifting here, with three of the top five sat along it, and the rest split between cheap noodle shops and cafés that locals actually eat at. Elephant takes the top spot on sheer weight of reviews, though the clifftop sunset bar is the one people rave hardest about. Ranked by Google rating with review volume breaking ties, and most of it is budget or mid-range.
