About The Beach Cuisine

A seaside restaurant on Bang Tao Beach, a little hard to find, where a French chef cooks a long menu of meat, seafood and French dishes beside Thai food. The slow-cooked whole fish has to be ordered an hour ahead; the nine-hour smoked chicken and the beef tongue stew are other house dishes. Prices are somewhat above the beach average.
