A Restaurant of Great Romance

Zazen Restaurant has earned wide spread fame and praise as one of the best restaurants on Koh Samui for its superior menu, invigorating beachfront location, and dreamily romantic ambience.

Much of this success is thanks to the talent and skill of master chef, Wally Andreini, creative innovator and culinary visionary at the heart of the restaurant. Born and raised in Brussels and of Italian heritage, Chef Wally trained at the famous Ecole Hoteliere de Namur before working internationally to great acclaim, and joining Zazen in December, 2004.

His style has been described as organic and orgasmic: East meets West cuisine using the finest ingredients available, and drawing on an extensive knowledge of herbs and health conscious techniques, to present a menu both rich in taste and enticing in originality.

Zazen Restaurant is the Thai food lovers dream, the international food lovers reawakening.

The atmosphere at Zazen Restaurant is one of romance, sophistication and intimacy. At night, the trendy restaurant glows with the light of over one hundred candles. Soft jazz mingles with the sound of gentle waves and guests enjoy the pleasures of fine dining, elegant service, and
the entertainment of traditional Thai dance.

Meals may be taken at intimate beachfront alcoves, an experience unique on the island and forever to be cherished.

The restaurant is located on the beachfront at Bo Phut, with sweeping views of neighbouring islands over the tranquil and gentle waters of the bay.
