Spices Cafe

I think I had dinner here but can't remember. Ordered the khao SOI and veggie and fruit salad. Khao SOI was decent, the fruit and veggie salad was decent. The servers spoke and understood English and were accommodating to not put fish sauce into my salad.

Lovely restaurant with a phenomenal menu and delicious cocktails. Prices are very reasonable, and it’s conveniently located near the Santiburi Samui hotel. We ate here twice and were impressed both times. We started with the chicken satay—perfectly seasoned and full of flavour. The chicken Pad Thai was outstanding. Beautifully flavoured and cooked perfectly (not overcooked like it often is elsewhere). Spices Cafe absolutely nailed it. The sea bass fillet with spicy mango salad was another highlight. Lightly battered and fried to perfection, with the mango salad adding a surprising burst of heat and flavour. On our second visit, I had the Pad Krapraw with minimal spice—again, incredible flavour, with green beans adding great texture. I couldn’t stop eating it. Mind blown. We also tried the Spices fried rice with prawns. The prawns were tempura-style, which was a pleasant surprise, and the rice itself was bursting with flavour. Highly recommend—fantastic food, great value, and consistently excellent quality. Happy hour- two for one cocktails. Margaritas- shaken. Goes down so smoothly. Too smooth!!

One of the best restaurants in this area - although it is located near the busy main street it is very cosy. The owners have a very good sense for good design. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the food is also exceptionally well presented. The best Prawn Tempura and Khao Soi we ever had! Very friendly service and Credit cards are accepted without additional charges. Thank you for this nice evening!
