• Delicious asian inspired vegetarian food

Veggie Bean is located on the left hand side of the main road as you travel north up the hill out of Chaweng. The decor is modern, stylish and similar to that of a vegetarian restaurant in London. There is seating for 14 people and, unusually for Thailand, it is all indoors. The restaurant is absolutely spotless. When I visited, there were four other customers in the restaurant, one waiter and one chef. This meant that service was a little slow but the waiter ensured we were aware of the potential delay before we sat down. The menu is vegetarian with an asian influence but they can customise most things to vegan. I had the Wasabi Tofu (95 THB / £1.90) to start, Sweet & Sour Veggies (120 THB / £2.40) for my main course and the Fruit Salad (150 THB / £3) for desert. I also had a mixed fruit smoothie (120 THB / £2.40) which was the nicest smoothie I had during my time in Thailand! All of the food was well presented and absolutely delicious. However, I have a healthy appetite and found the portion sizes to be slightly small. The service was excellent throughout and the waiter had a delightfully relaxed and friendly manner. It wasn’t the best meal I had during my time in Thailand but it was a lovely final meal before travelling back to London the following morning. I will certainly return again when I am next in Kho Samui.
