Tree House Cafe in Surat Thani

"We've been to two restaurants in the city yesterday, both with great ratings, and both were utterly disappointing. This restaurant does not disappoint. The people are sweet, the vibe is great and the food is amazing! We had the chicken with cashew nuts and the tom yum and both were incredible! Can't recommend this place enough. Additionally, the view is lovely as well."

"This is for sure the best restaurant I've ever been to. Incredibly cozy location with a view, super polite service, delicious food. The evening atmosphere is magical. Thank you!"

"We had such a lovely evening at Tree House Koh Tao! The atmosphere alone makes this place special – beautifully lit with warm fairy lights, built into the hillside, and surrounded by nature. It has that cozy, relaxed treehouse vibe that feels very “Koh Tao,” especially at night. We ordered a mix of dishes: larb, fried garlic pepper chicken, shredded cucumber salad, fried eggplant with basil, and a massaman curry. The absolute standouts were the massaman curry and the larb – both were outstanding. The curry was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced in flavor, while the larb was fresh, vibrant, and packed with authentic Thai spices. The other dishes were also very tasty and great for sharing, making it a perfect spot to enjoy different flavors together with a cold drink. Great food, magical atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit while on Koh Tao!"

"I had an absolutely incredible dining experience here, and I am still thinking about how unbelievably delicious everything was. From the very first bite, it was clear that this place truly cares about quality, freshness, and authentic flavor. The papaya salad was simply outstanding. It was perfectly balanced in every possible way — fresh, crisp, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, especially the crunchy cucumber and juicy cherry tomatoes, which added a beautiful sweetness and texture. The dressing was light yet deeply flavorful, with that perfect harmony of tangy, slightly sweet, and refreshing notes that made every bite exciting. The roasted peanuts on top added the most satisfying crunch and a subtle nutty richness that elevated the entire dish. It tasted so clean, fresh, and alive — you could immediately tell it was made with care and high-quality ingredients. The minced chicken dish was equally phenomenal and honestly one of the most flavorful versions I have ever had. The chicken was perfectly tender, juicy, and seasoned to absolute perfection. The herbs and spices were incredibly aromatic and well balanced, giving the dish depth, warmth, and a beautiful complexity without ever being overwhelming. Every bite was rich, savory, and deeply satisfying, while still feeling light and fresh. The sauce tied everything together beautifully, soaking into the chicken and creating an irresistible flavor that made it impossible to stop eating. Beyond the food itself, the entire experience was wonderful. The presentation was beautiful and inviting, showing real attention to detail. You could feel the passion and authenticity behind every dish. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and relaxing, making it the perfect place to truly enjoy and appreciate such amazing food. This was not just a meal — it was an experience. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and made with genuine skill and love. I can honestly say this was some of the most delicious, satisfying, and memorable food I have had in a long time. I will absolutely be coming back again and again, and I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates truly exceptional food."

"Staying here was absolutely amazing. My hosts were the most loving people, giving me fresh aloe vera from the garden for my sunburn, got me cookies at night when I felt hungry for snacks. Got recommended the most amazing beach for snorkling and had the best experience there. The room was amazing with a mind blowing view to wake up to every morning, and the beds were soft and cozy. Food was amazing and overall staff was super friendly and kind. The only thing you should keep in mind when booking this, is that the stairs might can be challenging for some. But as we agreed on, this will also function as a free gym ! Thank you so much for this stay, see you soon!"

"Absolute banger of a spot. Highly recommend the fired pork appetizer. We also got tom yum, and massaman curry. All the food was fantastic and the service was great! Views are amazing and if you’re lucky to get the low tables you get to spread out and chill. I can see why this place is highly rated. It’s also a bit aways from the main town so I’d recommend getting a bike to ride over here."

"What a cosy beautiful place! A true atmosphere of a tree house with the friendliest service and tasty food. There are spots to sit on the floor available as well as tables with chairs. And a nice bonus - a great view over the sea and greenery."

"Highly recommended! The food was always so delicious with many vegetarian options. The service was great and I loved the atmosphere: amazing view, comfy seating options, good music. Very good price"
