I will start out with the positives: the people running this "restaurant" seem to be a truly lovely couple (and why shouldn't they be they live in paradise and call running this place their "job" I'd be happy as a clam if that were the case for me as well). Now the negatives: location - oh the famous or should... More

Strongly recommend to visit this place if... More

We really enjoyed our meal at the Boudoir. Yes it is tricky to find but there are lots of signs to guide you. The new owners are a couple from Montpelier. They are friendly and out to please. The bar of the rstauant seems to be a popular hangout for the local French community which is a recommenation in itself.... More

I went there after reading extremely favourable reviews here. However, it was a complete waste of money and time. The location was problematic, the taxi driver could find it only after calling the restaurant for directions. I had duck as a main course, tuna salad and an ice cream dessert. Poor quality. The only good thing about this restaurant is... More

In spite of of all the comments on TA, the Boudoir restaurant is actually not too difficult to find - so long as you don't look at any on-line map. Driving west on the ring road from Bo Phut turn left on to Mae Nam 1 (otherwise known as Soi 1) at the Family Mart immediately before the first bridge,... More

The owners are French and take great care and pride in ensuring your visit is enjoyable. The setting is great, I think it's their home - but don't be put off by this, it adds to personal touch. The food was great, there was a complimentary cous cous dish served with bread, then we had salads with goat's cheese and... More

Definitely one of the best restaurants I've eaten in during our Koh Samui trip. At the beginning it is really difficult to find it. We were trying to search it by ourselves for more or less an hour on the motorbike and we didn't succeed. Later on we have found the taxi driver who was aware of the location (... More

We eat there with my 2 daughters. The boudoir is really hidden and you would need a taxi to have a good chance of finding it. Nice family setting with husband cooking and wife doing the service. At the time of our visit few dishes were no longer available on the menu which make the choice a bit more difficult.... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at the Boudoir last night. We loved the funky atmosphere and amazing hosts. As said in other reviews, portions are big! We split a starter and had two mains that we also split. Prices were well affordable and we will absolutely come back next time we're on the island! Once again,... More

This restaurant is a converted house in Mae Nam - the north west corner of Koh Samui, about 20 minutes drive from Chaweng and 10 minutes from Bo Phut (fisherman's village). It is embedded in a local suburb, on an _unsealed_ road which comes off a narrow (1.4 car width) road. It is about 50 metres off the road so... More
