Koh Samui

Koh Samui's steak options sit in its resorts and in Fisherman's Village, with charcoal cooking and imported beef the common thread. They suit a big night out during an island stay, from a beachfront hotel grill to a long-running independent.

The Ranch at The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui is Michelin Selected and serves dry-aged Australian grass-fed and wagyu beef on sizzling cast-iron plates. Act 5 – The Grill at Centara Reserve Samui on Chaweng Beach cooks Thai wagyu and imported beef in charcoal KOPA ovens. The Shack Steakhouse has grilled Australian Black Angus over charcoal in Fisherman's Village since 2003, with sharing platters of around 2kg.

Book resort grills ahead, particularly in high season. The Shack Steakhouse sits in the mid-range band, about US$25–50 per person for a main steak. The Ranch and The Shack are not halal. Koh Samui listings are shown island-wide rather than by area.
