The story
At FishHouse Restaurant & Bar, the line between indoors and out dissolves. Set on the sun-drenched shores of Choeng Mon Beach, this Kimpton Kitalay Samui restaurant is a Michelin-recognized destination for European cuisine with a Thai soul. The sound of waves sets the tone for a relaxed yet refined meal, whether you are here for a family gathering, a moonlit dinner for two, or a quiet solo meal.
The kitchen’s philosophy is straightforward: source the freshest ingredients and let their natural flavors lead. The menu celebrates the sea with grilled seafood featuring the day’s catch – succulent lobsters, juicy prawns, and a variety of fish, all prepared with meticulous care. Beyond the ocean’s bounty, an exquisite selection of imported prime meats, from tender steaks to succulent ribs, are expertly grilled. The spirit of communal dining is alive here, with cold seafood towers plated tableside, lobster rolls, fish tacos, and an assortment of crudos and ceviches. For warmth and spice, a lobster drenched in zesty nam jim sauce or a hearty seafood soup captures the essence of sharing.
This commitment to quality and atmosphere has earned FishHouse a consistent place in the prestigious MICHELIN Guide, recognized in 2024, 2025, and now proudly featured in the 2026 edition. The accolade reaffirms the restaurant’s status as a purveyor of fine dining by the sea.
After your meal, the Ocean Living Room offers a serene alcove to relax with a unique aperitif or digestif while admiring the views of the Koh Samui sea. The restaurant is family-friendly, welcoming little ones alongside the grown-ups. From the open-air setting to the ocean-to-plate cooking, FishHouse delivers an experience that is both elegant and inviting.
