• Best healthy eats around, and lovely vibes, too!

Yoga House & Spa fills a gaping hole in the Samui food scene and distinguishes itself from the crowd by ticking five boxes at once: health, taste, atmosphere, price, and service. We love Samui's Thai veg places as much as anyone, but their emphasis on fried foods (and their frequent dearth of greens) makes most of them not the healthiest places to forage, so we're always on the lookout for more salubrious options. Fortunately, one opens up from time to time, but unfortunately they're often overpriced and/or underflavored. The café at Yoga House & Spa is the rare exception, providing great flavor, quality ingredients, healthy preparation, and warm service in a lovingly-crafted environment — all at surprisingly reasonable prices (quite low considering the quality of the food — we've certainly paid more than twice as much elsewhere on the island for food that was half as good). They also make efforts toward eco-friendliness. I appreciate their use of glass straws instead of plastic ones, for example. The menu is small but appealing, with a few main dishes plus fresh smoothies, salads, and desserts. The pesto sandwich was surprisingly delicious, with tasty pesto and the best sourdough bread I've had in awhile. The proprietors are friendly and warm-hearted, and happy to explain the menu. They also offer spa treatments, yoga and meditation classes, and more. Highly recommended with five very happy cows! Enjoy!
