Dear Phangan
Open-air garden restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide, with a blind tasting menu built around the day's pier seafood and garden produce.
Dear Phangan was featured in the 2025 Michelin Guide Thailand and received a Bib Gourmand recommendation in 2026. It is on the road from Thong Sala to Hin Kong, near the island's hospital. Open-air seating surrounds a small garden of papaya, banana, tamarind and herbs, far from the noise of the full moon parties. There is no fixed menu: each day the chef creates a blind tasting menu from the market and pier ingredients. The guide singles out fried fermented catfish and squid stir-fried with squid ink and shrimp paste. Only a limited number of portions are made each day, so you must book by phone in advance. Cash only; parking is available.
