Samui is labeled ‘paradise’ not only for its tropical beaches and friendly people. Lately it’s become known for the culinary excellence you’ll find here too.

The Samui Culinary Circle (SCC) is an organization of food and beverage professionals working here. Our aim is to continually improve the quality and standard of cuisine & service offered on the island.

And we’ve recently been fortunate in having even more exceptional chefs arrive on Samui, sharing their extraordinary culinary skills. Happily for us, the vast range of high-quality, fresh ingredients available here has attracted these gastronomic masters. Tropical fruits & vegetables, free-range meats & poultry, boundless varieties of fish, seafood and crustaceans, Thai herbs & seasonings, plus a liberal supply of ancient cooking secrets combine to make Samui a culinary treasure chest for the creative chef.

But, which restaurants are the best? After picking the wrong one, and eating a bad meal in poor surroundings, it’s too late to start the evening again.

Bon Appétit!
