Sits under an ancient limestone cliff, with the sea breeze providing a natural way to stay cool while enjoying the food and views. One detailed guide specifically described it as the most casual spot on their list, ideal for couples who just want to linger, bring a book, sip a cocktail, and watch the sunset over the Andaman Sea, best suited to light lunches or an early evening dinner rather than a formal, structured meal.

Rated 4.2/5 (93 reviews), Asian and Thai cuisine.

Practical tips
Book The Grotto for an early dinner or a light lunch specifically, it's described as most suited to a relaxed, lingering visit rather than a formal, multi-course evening.
Reserve Marco's Sundown Beach Romance well in advance if a candlelit beach dinner is the centrepiece of your trip, these curated experiences are typically limited and popular around occasions like Valentine's Day.
Choose Kredkaew Bar specifically if you're celebrating a honeymoon, it's repeatedly described this way by reviewers.
Pair Khaothong Hill's hilltop views with an earlier dinner reservation, its views are specifically praised, worth timing your visit to catch good light.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating The Grotto as a formal, multi-course dinner destination, it's specifically described as a casual spot best suited to lingering rather than a structured meal.
- Booking Marco's candlelight packages last-minute, these curated experiences with set menus are limited and can sell out around peak romantic dates.
- Overlooking smaller, high-rated spots like The Naga Kitchen or God Le Restaurant in favour of only the bigger-name resorts, both carry genuinely strong reviews despite smaller review counts.
- Assuming every romantic restaurant on this list is expensive, Into The Forest Cafe offers a lighter, more casual, and more affordable romantic option for couples who want cake and coffee rather than a full dinner.
