The Place

Australian chef Don Lawson helms the kitchen at the Anantara Koh Samui Resort’s Italian eatery. The resort garnered notice for its stylish décor when it first opened three years ago, and the al fresco dining room of Full Moon doesn’t disappoint in its surroundings. Enter along a 200-meter torch-lined walkway and take a seat by the pool.

The Food

The Thai blue swimmer crab adds a local touch, but most dishes are plays on Italian classics, such as rich pan-seared foie gras balanced on a shallot risotto and topped with white truffle oil.

T+L Tip

Some signature mains are prepared tableside, with a theatrical flourish; the Australian Wagyu beef tenderloin is flambéed in Martell cognac.
