We visited this restaurant because it had been recommended by two locals. Although moderately priced, our red snapper specials did not live up to the hype and were served with french fries or veggie rice. The spring rolls appeared hand made and were tasty as was the pineapple shake. The building was interesting and had many items to explore. I... More

We found the food here tasted great and was very reasonably priced. We had a main each, shared a salad and two drinks each for less than 700baht. a bonus was glasses of white wine were only 80baht, a lot cheaper than most places. my girlfriend likes her South Australian whites and found this one was ok considering the price....

What a gorgeous quirky little restaurant with some really interesting trinkets and nic naks that are all, obviously, recycled. Beautiful little shack of a restaurant, which some would think could be deceiving, but have a go. We ate here twice on our 1 week stay in Rawai, the food was beautiful and the service was excellent, and it was extremely... More

went to recycle the one night it was open on our trip. The smell from the river under the building was so bad we only ate half our meal and had to leave. Be aware there is an open sewer next to this restaurant. Never again.

Cool little restaurant with amazing interior design that they've made from recycling bits and bobs, great food at fantastic prices and if you get a window seat at the back of the restaurant, the view out the back is just delicious. Totally recommend this to anyone, well worth a little mooch down to :)

While its appearance may be off putting, this place is a gem. We enjoyed two excellent meals here - both times faultless. The staff are friendly and able to communicate in very good English. Apart from the delicious food and great cocktails, the setting is absolutely intriguing and an entertainment in itself. The ingenuity required to create the building and... More

Not airconditioned but with fans a'plenty the food provided is seasoned to your taste,and it very important to note the understanding of English and your wishes, shown by... More

This was my first time to The Recycle and I have raved about it since. A lot of the decoration is recycled hence the name. It is cosy and so different from some of the other restaurants in Rawai. The food was just outstanding we had Prawn Tempura and I have to say this was the best I have ever... More
