5 Best Restaurants in Koh Rong

Da Matti? (the question mark is part of the name) is a slightly odd mix of Italian restaurant and reggae bar. A long-established venue on one of Koh Tui’s 3 piers, it was previously known as La Mami. The Italian influences here include excellent gnocchi, arguably the best pasta on Koh Rong and the romantic candlelit table settings along the pier.

The reggae theme is evident from the vivid colour scheme, good selection of cocktails, the floor cushions and low tables further down the pier and the easy-going flexible music policy.

A guesthouse and bakery, Koh Lanta is said to serve the best pizzas in Koh Rong, cooked in an eco-friendly oven. The burgers are also pretty good and the quality of the ice cream is impressive.

Open 24 hours, the service is excellent and the parasol-shaded seating in front, on the beach, makes it a great place to enjoy a snack on a hot day. The venue’s name is inspired by the French Survivor reality TV show.

As the name suggests, Sunrise Restaurant is on an east-facing beach – Coconut Beach – with comfortable red clam-shell seating and excellent food. As a bonus, you can also get a great beach massage.

The restaurant’s veggie burgers are highly recommended. The atmosphere is friendly and the place has a nice, chilled out vibe, making it a great place to hang out throughout the day.
