There are a tremendous number of restaurants to choose from in Samui, and the Kingfisher may not be the most attractive option being on a busy main road. However, the quality of the food and the value for money means that Kingfisher should be considered while you are in or near Bophut. The menu is extensive, and the welcome and... More

We generally enjoyed our visit to the Kingfisher Restaurant. We had Prawns stir fried with crispy basil & stir fried morning glory & Massaman Curry all of which were very tasty. Massaman a bit milder than I like it but generally fine. We also had stir fried pork with garlic which was not done quite the way that I like... More

Hello everyone! I was on Samui at Fabruary and findout Kingfisher near IBIS NOPHUT SAMUI as nearest place with excelent food and atmosphere! Owners - 2 brothers from Holland - just have fun on their work: they are singing, dancing, telling the funny stories. That's why I was waiting every evening (they opened from 17.00) for having best dinner on... More

I am lucky enough to eat at the Kingfisher fairly regularly, living just around the corner. The owners are very friendly and always remember my name. The service is efficient and friendly and the food is excellent. They accommodate requests for smaller portions and they play a wide variety of music! Well worth a visit - in the high season... More

I visited Koh Samui in June 2007 and stayed at the world resort in Bophut. We tried many of the restaurants in Bophut and Chaweng but the best by far was the Kingfisher in Bophut. Located opposite the Palm Beach Resort it isn’t much to look at from the road and this was the reason I avoided it on the... More
