Benny's On The Beach - Koh Lipe

This place is beautiful. The food is generous, nourishing and made with love. The staff are kind and sincere. The atmosphere is super chill comfy and the restaurant is named after Benny, a super sweet and playful bulldog. Loved this place!

We were so pleased we walked out to visit this place. After reading a few reviews saying it was hard to get to, we were a little pessimistic, but seriously guys it took us 7 minutes from Walking Street (up a big hill at the end but that was great exercise all paved road and you just walk down through the Adang Sea Eco-Village Resort. When we were ready to go home, it was dark and I was full so the lovely lady behind the bar even offered to call us a taxi (she asked boat or motorbike so that was awesome to know we had the choice! Ok now to the main bit THE FOOD!! I had the burger, my boyfriend had the tacos and a side of Benny's Fries both were insane and we still cannot agree on which was our favourite. My boyfriend has allergies also btw and this can be difficult travelling, so we asked the lady (sorry can't remember her name and she pulled a folder out from the bar with exact ingredient listings for each dish!! Awesome!! My burger was juicy and nutty and well seasoned and HUGE great value for money here!! My boyfriends tacos were super tasty (the little he shared with me) and again a huge portion for the money you pay!! Lipe is really expensive for everything from travel to rooms and food; we found this place the best value for money given that they don't serve meat or animal products; others we tried were EXPENSIVE! The rest The beach is incredible, beautiful beautiful sunset views (we visited Sunset Beach the day before which was full of trash ad mosquitoes and didn't actually have good sunset views weird) The staff were lovely and kind and fun and informative couldn't ask for better service! The music was awesome and appropriate, bathroom/shower facilities clean and super cute made from bamboo (also v impressed they don't give you toilet paper as I would find an eco' place super hypocritical giving out loo roll on an island! Conclusion we love this place so much and will definitely be visiting again. We plan to stay in their rooms and eat here everyday (other guests told us the breakfasts are YUM). They told us they just opened a new place too on Sunrise Beach (Sunrise Restaurant) but we didn't have enough time to visit. NEXT time :

I stayed at their accommodation which I really recommend. It’s good having easy access to vegan food on one of the few places in Thailand where I’ve not found as many vegan options. I found it quite expensive so only had the backpacker bowl for 100 baht and some drinks. They have some deals on so can be more affordable if you’re in a group. Atmosphere is really nice, the beach is lovely and they play good music. Staff are very friendly. Free drinking water

Wow, the bermese salad on a taco was AMAZING! Lovely view on the beach.

We selected three small plates, a bruschetta dish, fresh summer rolls and hummus with vegetables to dip. We also had an oat milk iced coffee. Good sized portions and all very tasty! Would recommend for lunch, as I think they shut early in the evening.
