About Vida Nova

An open-air, boho-style all-day kitchen across the beach road from Rawai's working beach, where longtails and speedboats sit on the sand under big trees. The menu is huge — eggs Benedict served all afternoon, poke bowls, the house burger, Mexican and a cheaper Thai section — with a kids' menu, vegetarian dishes and Halal meat. Better at seven in the evening than at one in the afternoon in April.
