Cafe del Sol

Cafe del Sol is a Koh Tao institution, tucked into Mae Haad and serving French and Italian cooking since 1999. On an island that turns over fast, it's one of the constants, the sort of place you end up going back to more than once a trip.

French and Italian, done properly

The menu runs French and Italian classics alongside vegetarian dishes, in a cosy, candle-lit setting that feels a world away from the beach bars. Come for a long, unhurried dinner, or order in, they deliver across the island.

More than two decades in, it has a loyal following of residents and returning visitors, so it's worth booking ahead in high season.
