The 10 Best Restaurants in Koh Samui, Ranked
This lot splits neatly between Chaweng and Bo Put, with a couple of hilltop viewpoint spots and one oyster bar over near Lamai to break it up. Ban Thai is the one I'd flag if money's tight, a family-run Bo Put kitchen at the cheap end while most here sit mid-range or don't publish prices. Ranked on Google rating, with review volume settling the ties, and it's tight at the top.
