If you are spending time around Mae Nam in the Ko Samui District, The Fish Restaurant is one of those places that immediately catches your attention. Located in Surat Thani 84330, Thailand, this relaxed Thai restaurant has a friendly atmosphere that makes visitors feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I like recommending The Fish Restaurant to travelers who want a casual dining experience without losing the authentic local flavor that makes Koh Samui so popular. The setting feels open and welcoming, especially with the outdoor seating area where guests can enjoy the island breeze while sharing fresh dishes and cold drinks.
One thing that makes The Fish Restaurant stand out is how easy it is to enjoy a meal your own way. Some people stop by for a quick bite during the day, while others prefer a long dinner with cocktails and wine after exploring the island. The dine-in experience feels relaxed and social, although takeout is also available for anyone wanting to enjoy Thai food somewhere quieter. The menu includes a variety of small plates and late-night food options, so it works well for groups with different tastes and schedules.
I also appreciate how the restaurant balances traditional Thai dining with a modern island vibe. Guests can order beer, hard liquor, coffee, or refreshing cocktails depending on the mood, and the staff keeps the environment casual instead of overly formal. The Fish Restaurant has the kind of laid-back energy that fits naturally into a beachside holiday, making it easy to sit back, enjoy flavorful Thai cuisine, and spend extra time soaking in the atmosphere around Mae Nam. Many visitors enjoy arriving before sunset because the surroundings become even more relaxing in the evening, creating a comfortable place to talk, share plates, and experience the welcoming spirit that local Thai restaurants are known for across Koh Samui.

We have been here multiple times in the 4 years we have been visiting Samui, and it only gets better. Their menu is filled with a wide variety of Thai dishes (there are other western options). Go for one of they whole fishes, they are full of flavor and so juicy! Their Thai plates are authentic in flavor and leave you wanting to lick your plate! Although the restaurant is along the main road, they have a lovely garden area in the back that’s quite modern and can fit 8-10 people. Good lighting and greenery to give an ambiance. The people running the restaurant and smiley and kind - always makes it enjoyable to return. Highly recommended.
One of the best restaurants I’ve been to. I ordered the green curry, and it was amazing. I’m not usually a fan of spicy food, but I absolutely loved it. The flavor was rich, balanced, and mildly spicy. The staff were so nice and friendly. Highly recommended.
Easily one of our favourite restaurants on our trip. The first time we came we had the BBQ fish, and then came back after pre-ordering lobster. Quality of food is absolutely stunning - even the morning glory is fresh and well prepared. Staff are super friendly and make sure you try their fresh juices!

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
