Healthy and delicious - Edit
We ordered off the Koh phangan delivery app and I was so happy to see an all vegan establishment. The food was very nice, we got the tofu balls and mash and the pad Thai. Pad Thai was good but maybe just a tad salty for my taste and was craving some more protein (there was tofu in small chunks). We also got the brownie which was incredible but extremely rich so definitely share between 2!

Fully vegan 🌱 View is mind blowing, food was great, but a bit on the expensive side. I would recommend Pad Thai. Mushroom burger, lemon cake and almond cookie was okay.

Great food, but expensive. - Edit
A lot of different dishes on the menu which is nice.
Read moreWe had the mashed potatoes with tofu cheeseballs and mushrooms. A bit like gravy. The ‘brownie’ which should be called a chocolate pie was amazing!
Wine a bit overpriced. 300bath a glass.
Some starters are more expensive then a main course.
Pros: Variety of food, Tasty and fresh, Western and thai kitchen
Cons: Overpriced
DimSl
Hi Sofia - thank you for your review.
Read moreIf you comparing us to some of the Thai places or restaurants that buy their food from Makro, yes we are expensive. And we are certainly not expensive for the quality we offer.
The starters you are referring to are enough for one person, not needing to order anything else, or they are good to share too.
I’m sorry that you were not impressed with our chocolate ‘pai’, which is often rated as the best brownie people ever tried. But this is the beauty of hosting different people as everyone comes with their own taste so we can only improve when we have a constructive feedback.
sofiavanvliet
Hi, thanks for your respons. The term brownie is an understatement is what I meant. :). I actually wrote down that it was amazing. Pie sounds way better then brownie. Keep up the good work!

Pure enjoyment at Chalok Lam Beach: Foods & Roots effortlessly deserves 5 stars! - Edit
Food: 5/5

Location: 5/5
Atmosphere: 5/5
Hygiene Ratings: 5/5
Value for Money: 4/5
Extras: 4/5
A visit to "Foods & Roots" is always a culinary revelation. We've been to this restaurant twice and were overwhelmed both times by the quality and taste of the dishes. Here, food is prepared with dedication, and you can immediately sense that freshness and variety are top priorities.
Our selection included the refreshing "Mediterranean Salad," the hearty "Foods & Roots Salad Bowl," the delicious "Falafel Wrap," the juicy "Lentil Patties," accompanied by a refreshing "Green Monster Smoothie," and the invigorating "Foods & Roots Ice Tea." Everything we tried was not only tasty but also prepared with fresh ingredients. The only note: The "Green Monster Smoothie" could have had a bit more flavor intensity but was still delightful.
The service is remarkably efficient. Drinks were served promptly, the appetizer reached us in just ten minutes, and the main course followed twenty minutes after ordering. The team at "Foods & Roots" is not only quick but also extremely friendly.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is simply fantastic. The decor is inviting, clean, and appealing. A particular highlight is the open kitchen, providing a direct view and appearing equally well-maintained and clean.
In terms of value for money, "Foods & Roots" may be slightly more expensive compared to other Thai restaurants, but considering the top-notch quality of the food and the excellent location right on Chalok Lam Beach, every baht is well invested.
The location of the restaurant is simply perfect. Situated right on Chalok Lam Beach, this place undoubtedly ranks among the most beautiful beaches Koh Phangan has to offer. The breathtaking view and sea breeze significantly contribute to the overall experience.
In summary, I can confidently say that the restaurant "Foods & Roots" on Koh Phangan undoubtedly deserves five stars. We look forward to our next visit and to once again savoring the culinary delights of this place.

Not overwhelming - Edit
I tried one of their burgers with fries in late April. Both were okay but there was no sauce with the fries and food was overall average. Staff is really friendly and the location looks really nice. However, considering the prices there are several better options on the island in my opinion with similar or even cheaper prices. Might go there again to give it another try and will update in case I do.

For that hole in your heart where vegan ice cream should be, this is the place. Sure they have other delicious stuff, their tempeh comes to mind. But don't mess around and come here to get your ice cream fix.

Really cool place situated right on the beach, great sea views and super friendly people!
Read morePlenty of choices on the 100% vegan menu. Went with the buckwheat pancakes which were just phenomenal! Noodle soup with the spirulina noodles was good but would have preferred it spicier. Added some chili flakes and all was good!
Had a Cappuccino with almond milk and a jasmine tea.
Prices are similar to other vegan restaurants on the Island.
Definitely worth a trip to the North of the Island for this place, I'll definitely be back again for sure!

Food cooked with love! - Edit
Beachfront, vegan, wholesome and the most delicious of nourishing food! I could go on all day listing words to describe this wonderful place, but you just need to get there and try it for yourself!
Read moreThe owners have poured their hearts and soul into this place to make it such a special and memorable dining experience. Each dish is artfully prepared and they take extra care to make many things in-house and from scratch (turmeric wrap, focaccia to name a few).
They have a diverse range of foods in their menu, spanning brunch, fresh salads, wraps, desserts and even comfort foods such as mashed potatoes (seriously, VEGAN MASH....try this!), they really have it all.
The interior is beachy yet modern and the view of the bay is absolutely stunning.
Pros: Diverse menu selection, Beachfront location, Everything I have tried is delicious!
