Mom Tri's Kitchen is the restaurant of Villa Royale, once the private home of the architect Mom Luang Tridhosyuth Devakul, and its terraces hold his antiques and original artwork. The cellar of more than 750 labels, run by French wine director George Ciret, won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence eight years running from 2004. Dinner calls for long trousers, and one dessert is deep fried coconut ice cream served in a grated coconut shell.

“Incredible views, beautiful sea breeze and relaxing music. Food was outstanding.”
Kampong Kata Hill has cooked Thai food and seafood for more than thirty years, with dishes such as steamed fish in lemon sauce and crab casserole with vermicelli, and fish cakes that are a favorite. The menu is in English with photos, and portions are generous. The owner also runs an antique shop, which shows in the two pavilions and on the balconies over the center of Kata.
