The best vegan & vegetarian restaurants in Koh Samui (2026)
Koh Samui's yoga and wellness scene has built a serious plant-based infrastructure: cold-pressed juice bars, raw desserts, Buddha bowls and veggie Thai kitchens cluster around Lamai, Maenam and Fisherman's Village.
This list keeps to fully vegan, jay and vegetarian places, ranked by weighted Google rating — beach cafés with a token veggie burger don't qualify.
Samui's top plant-based tables
Noori India (นูรีอินเดีย) VEGETARIAN , SOUTH INDIAN & THAI FOOD RESTAURANT
Koh Samui's best Indian restaurant and a vegetarian-focused institution on Chaweng Beach Road. Noori India grinds its spices fresh daily and sources authentic Indian ingredients, offering a menu that spans South Indian dosas to North Indian curries alongside Jain and no-onion-no-garlic options. One of the few places on the island serving certified Jain food.
ANNIE eatery & sweetery - Lamai
Koh Samui's favourite plant-based café, with branches island-wide and a loyal following for its creative menu and warm service. Annie's Lamai Beach branch is the largest, serving an all-day menu of falafel wraps, avocado toast, Beyond Meat burgers and legendary banana pancakes — all fully vegan, with gluten-free options and a dedicated dessert selection. Oat, soy and almond milk on tap.
Wild Tribe Café
A wholefood superfood café on Lamai Beach, developed with the help of certified vegetarian dietitians and rooted in the philosophy of food as medicine. Wild Tribe uses organic ingredients, no MSG and no deep-frying, making its own sauces from fresh produce. The menu built around superfoods, bowls, curries and fresh-pressed juices has won it 4.8 stars from nearly 1,200 reviewers.
Pure Vegan Heaven
A fully vegan restaurant on Lamai's main strip serving an eclectic international menu — from vegan tacos and BBQ jackfruit bowls to mushroom quesadillas and Thai noodle dishes. One of the longest-running fully vegan spots on the island, and still one of the most visited.
Pure Vegetarian Govinda's Restaurant
A Samui outpost of the Govinda's pure vegetarian family, serving satvik food — no onion, no garlic — alongside regular Indian, Thai and Nepali options. Owner Sheila runs the kitchen with the kind of personal care that keeps regulars returning each season to Bo Put.
