Long Dtai

Long Dtai by David Thompson is a must-visit restaurant, offering an unforgettable dining experience. I am fortunate to be spending my holiday at Cape Fahn in Samui, where we will enjoy dinner at this acclaimed establishment. Long Dtai's cuisine emphasizes local ingredients to create extraordinary, authentic southern Thai dishes. Featured in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant guarantees a delectable dining experience. My favorite dishes from the menu include: - **Aromatic Beef Skewers with Cumin and Turmeric:** The beef is incredibly juicy, and the aroma of fresh Thai herbs is delightful. 480 baht - **Coconut and Turmeric Curry with Blue Swimmer Crab:** Typically a favorite of mine, this dish here is exceptional, with incredibly fresh crab. 980 baht - **Palm Sugar Dumplings in Coconut Cream (Dessert):** Easy to eat, with the perfect sweetness from the palm sugar. 270 baht The restaurant operates from 18:00 to 21:30. If you arrive early, you can visit the bar, open from 17:00 to 22:00. Please note that the restaurant is closed every Wednesday. Guests from outside the hotel are welcome, but it is advisable to make a reservation in advance. Additionally, allow extra time for the hotel's transit boat to reach the restaurant. If it's not the rainy season, I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the island view. Overall, I believe this restaurant is likely to receive a Michelin award next year, thanks to its impressive flavors, ambiance, and service. Thank you for providing me with such wonderful memories.

Hard to beat location and view. The food was excellent. We had the turmeric salad, which was the highlight, really a superb dish. The red snapper curry was also amazing! It is a bit pricy, but the flavors deliver in an area that has a lot of reduced spice due to the western tourists.

Long Dtai means traveling in the south defines our dining experience at the restaurant very much. My curiosity as a fan of David Thompson from many places in London & Bangkok, we decided to dine there. We found the authentic southern Thai cuisine with locally & sustainability products took us to the culinary journey of the beautiful South of Thailand. We love the fresh crabs in the yellow curry soup. The harmony of fresh ingredients & spices are excellent. The location, the service are simply elegant.
