Cafe 69 was a great culinary treat in Samui. The owner and chef, Viv, is self-taught. The menu is made up of Viv's creations and the dishes we tasted were quite good. Viv also sat down and talked to us a bit about Samui, Krabi, and Thailand in general. It was a great experience and I would recommend going there,... More

We stayed 15 nights in Samui and Cafe 69 was our favourite, so much so we went back 3 times. What makes this restaurant is Vivian the owner with his passion for food and ability to make you you feel at home. Vivian made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped inside and took time to explain his dishes.... More

Cafe 69 is awesome! The food is inspired by the chef and owner, Vivien, who is a treasure. We had as much fun meeting him and his staff as we did eating the incredible fair. Cafe 69 should be a global brand!

I can't say enough about the food at Cafe 69. Vivian puts so much effort into his dishes and it shows every time. During our stop at Koh Samui this April my wife ordered the papaya salad with soft shell crab rolls and I ordered prawns with tom yam sauce and wontons. Both dishes were wonderfully flavoured and we highly... More

Just been for an absolutely fabulous meal in this restaurant. Don't be put off by the looks of this place as it looks just like a cafe/ diner or the location as its on a main street. The food on offer is simply fantastic. My wife and I had a sample platter of most of the starters on the specials... More

Have been here a handful of times over the past couple of years and have never had a bad meal. The food is sensational, great value for money and the service is good.

We read up on the reviews for Cafe 69, tapped it into the sat nav and found it down on the left of Bophut Ave. We arrived and it was completely empty. Hang on a sec, Saturday night, 8pm, surely not the right place? - Turned out the local night market was on and everyone had gone there, but I... More
