Cool place , the food is so so

We tried the tofu scramble ( like egg) was ok .
The Cesar salad was sweet and with coconut bacon that was uneatable. So no recommend .

the cake !!!!!

i took a breakfast there (cacao bowl) and it was good. the iced coffee with coconut milk was also good.
but the really extraordinary was the variety of vegan cakes.
i took a few to takeaway and they were all super delicious.

טבעוני אך יקר ולא טעים

מסעדה טבעונית לחלוטין אבבללללל אוכל פשוט לא טעים ומחירים הכי יקרים באיזור. בזבוז של ארוחה. פשוט לא אחזור.

Pricey but amazing view

Food was very good! Ambience is 10/10. Staff was friendly.
The food took quite some time to get ready and they forgot my drink, which is completely fine, but considering it’s a very expensive place, my standards become higher.

Pros: View, Flavor, Ambience

Cons: Only outside seating , Pricey

My fav place on the island

I have been here before
Last holiday I ended up coming here every single day and wished I could stay longer
Coming back here realizing it’s still as good

Must try
Cheesecake! Raw cheesecakes out of this world
I haven’t had such great raw cakes in my life. I always order mango Passionfruit
I also had one berry one before
Raw pralines are great as well and quick bite
I had the raw pad Thai - which I wouldn’t order again
I loved the raw sushi first time - this time they seemed a bit too dry
Snickers bite was good, but not great - a bit on the dry side with lots of nuts could have more date paste


So flavourful
Can’t wait to try new items and also the snickers look amazing
Free infused water
Wifi
Hammocks by the water
Now pool as well
You can book a cooking class, teacher training or just normal classes for yoga
It’s the place to be on Phangan

'so and so' - Quite 'hippy'

Do you wish to see at once the 'flora and fauna' of the island at once: healers, truth seekers, and radical chic western 'looking for myself' types gather here to enjoy a healthy (very) meal. And hugging each other all the time.

I enjoyed my food looking at the sea. Few other foodie places in town have this privilege.

The dark bread wa great. Less the scrambled tofu compared to other places.

Huge portions offered though.

Not sure I will be back. Once is enough.

Updated from previous review on 2023-11-04

Pros: Sea view, Large portions , Funny people around

The best in Thailand!

Orion is simply perfection. Im staying here for 4 weeks and could not be happier with the cafe. Extensive wholefoods plant based menu. All of it delicious and filling. Gorgeous space with outdoor dining, including hammocks and bean bags. Screens lowered to protect from the rain. Dogs and cats wandering around freely which is simply delightful. Absolutely the best cafe I've been to in Thailand.

Food superb - Clientele hilarious.

The food was out of this world. And the shots were well thought out and vast.
The staff were so pleasant and fantastic.
Some of the clients who were there for the yoga clearly thought they were the second coming or better, but bless them. They only mean well I’m sure. Very entertaining at least.
Food made it well worth another visit.

Pros: Unreal menu and food. , Lovely staff, VERY tranquil environment

Buon cibo in una location spettacolare sulla spiaggia

Se amate succhi e bowl e ricche colazioni questo è il posto ideale. Per programmi detox pure. Per il resto del cibo si capisce che c'è uno chef ma non tutti i piatti sono all'altezza. Quelli Thai un classico.

Pros: Programmi Detox, La location

Cons: Avere solo acqua Evian di importazione NON è eco!, Costoso

Serene spot by the beach

Beautiful little cafe part of the Healing Center’s ecosystem. Great variety of plates-separate detox menu divided into pre and post fasting meals. Overall great concept.

Pros: Spot, Food selection

Nice food with a nice view

I wasn't particularly blown away but everything here was very nice. You're in a busy yoga retreat that happens to have good food. Hummus plate did not come with any bread, had to pay more to order bread.

The BEST plant based menu!

I absolutely love eating here. SO many creative dishes on the menu! From Thai food to raw food, from breakfast burritos to wholesome deserts. I don’t think I could never get bored of the extensive menu. The chef Cooper is so passionate about the food and yet so humble.

So hard to pick a favourite dish… avocado & cashew cheese on raw crackers, masaman curry, açai smoothie bowl, raw BLT, raw coconut soup… so many!

Pros: So many creative options, Such great quality, Beautiful environment

It’s okay

Workers seem stressed and that’s how the food taste. Everything is packed in plastics when you order. The food quality is okay, there are better places for same prices in case of quality.

Nice menue with fresh ingredients

Lovely beach area with this nice Restaurant inside.
Pick yourself a menue and then order inside at the desk.
We had the protein power salad, that was good, just the dressing tasted a bit boring. Also had the icy dragon smoothie and the plant medicine smoothie :)

Beachfront Vegan Cafe.

Offering luxurious sunset views, cushions and tables to dine on burgers, salads, bowls and curries. Staff are totally chill and their tempeh burger is fantastic. Look out for weekly specials and enjoy the complimentary melon water.

Best Vegan Menu on the island

Was pleasantly suprised with how good everything was here. My wife and I ordered 4 different dishes and every one was very good. Their ramen was especially tasty. This is how vegan food should be in a world where 90% of vegan restaurants are sub par.

The one downside was their staff. A bit unfriendly/ unwelcoming which felt weird considering what they are trying to do with their healing center.

Super-rude staff, reasonably good food

Mixed experience here…the food is hit and miss, but mostly good. The staff-member who served us seemed to go out of his way to be rude. Really weird, aggressive energy. Perhaps he was just having a bad day, but I’d expect people to be able to at least be polite.

He also turned off the music at 9pm leaving us in awkward total silence while sung loudly in Thai.

Perhaps the management can use some of the proceeds from the overpriced food on some staff training?

Healthy options, yummy food

I'm updating my review after trying this place over the years and happy to see it's fully vegan for some time already. I love coming here because of the healthy options and there's a whole menu of even healthier detox options for those really wanting to eat clean.
There are plenty of possibilities to please everyone including more decadent vegan junk food like beyond burgers and great desserts. It's one of my favorite go to places on Koh Phangan and it seems to keep getting better and better.

So so... But special nevertheless!

We were here for Christmas and I have to say I loved it because Eric was there too, haha.
In terms of the restaurant, I have to say I was quite annoyed with the procedure of it all. It started with queuing up and having to make a decision and pay for it immediately rather than sitting down and getting our order taken. I know I sound like an entitled ... but I just pictured my Christmas dinner to be different rather than having to fuss first about what to eat and then having to pay for it all in one go. It just ruined the experience and the whole vibe was weird. No music either during a Christmas dinner! Anyway, the food was okay and I liked the raw sushi. And did I mention Eric? I mean, that was the real Christmas treat - haha!

Pros: Nice raw sushi and many raw options, I liked the cakes, I had Christmas dinner with Eric!

Cons: You have to pay immediately, No music during the event, I got a weird energy/vibe from the staff

Stunning views..

Lovely location for this yoga retreat and restaurant. Struggle to find a better view whilst you eat, simply stunning!

The food has been good so far, been a couple of times already on Christmas day. Had the mango smoothie bowl which was ok but the dried fruit was quite hard unfortunately. Toast and Jam was good, coffee was ok but came in a very small cup.

Went back in the evening for the Christmas Dinner special menu. The food tasted good but they brought out all the courses at the same time which was a little bizarre. By the time you had the appetiser and entree, the main was cold so disappointing.

Will definitely go back and try more dishes.

5 star for the location.
