Steakhouse

We'd read about a good German run bakery on the island before we'd even left the house and knew we needed to check it out.  You can imagine our joy when we found you could read the menu on line and drool over what you might order.  One thing to note is that this place closed at 6pm unless you've booked the candlelight beach dinner.

We took a taxi to Ao Nid pier (50 baht per person) and found that this gorgeous little spot had the most amazing views with the seating area situated over the beach itself.  We were the only ones there for the whole of the two plus hours we spent at this idyllic spot.  We started with coffee and a piece of the home made (that day) coconut cake.  It's worth coming here even if you only have coffee and cake.

For lunch we both ordered rib-eye steak and it was the best meat we've had in this country.  I really have no idea how Geppi (the owner) does it, being on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere.  I had a jacket potato with "cream" as it was described in the menu.  I had my fingers crossed for sour cream and was not disappointed I told Mr John I could happily swim in it (apologies to the visual thinkers).  Because we weren't riding, we treated ourselves with a glass of wine for me and a german beer for Mr John I promise we don't normally drink at lunch time but when in Rome!  Our bill came to 1500 baht, having finished with coffee as well, but we think it was very good value for money don't even go there with how many meals that is at our corner shop

We were also very fortunate to have the Food Art Hut a 15 minute stroll from our accommodation.  We went here a couple of times as the pizza's a freshly made.  Dinner usually cost about 300 baht for a large, shared, pizza, garlic bread, beer and a soft drink.

Geppi also runs the Diner Hut at CoCoCape but unfortunately it wasn't open the night we were there - the island is winding down for the rainy season but if you are at this resort, you must eat with him.
