The 10 Best Restaurants in Koh Tao, Ranked
It's a mid-range crowd here, mostly all-day cafés and brunch spots with a few cheap Thai kitchens holding their own, and only one place actually on the sand at Sairee. I'd point you at 995 Roasted Duck, a budget dinner-only spot that pulls in more reviews than most of the pricier names above it. Ranked by Google rating, with review volume breaking the ties.
