Joes Steakhouse is one of the most famous restaurants in Khao Lak because the owner, Ludwig Hugsam, was featured on various TV stations in Europe and became so popular that the feature is repeated every year or so.
His steak house is full every evening due to the excellent quality of the steaks and all other dishes that he prepares personally. The side orders like German noodles taste like the originals. Of course the salads are of excellent quality, too, and they are truly safe to eat.
To go to Joes Steakhouse at Bang Niang Beach not in vain, please reserve your table in advance. If you happen to stay until after 10 pm, you may be lucky to meet Ludwig personally, who happens to be one of the great characters in Khao Lak.

What a surprise! To find authentic Thai food in a dive restaurant is not really common. Anocha, the female owner of Loma Diving Restaurant, is very conscientious to ensure that her food tastes authentic, is only prepared with fresh vegetables and herbs, and does not use any commercially-prepared sauces. Depending at what time the dive groups come back from their trips, the restaurant can be either very full or very quiet. Nevertheless, the food is always delicious and not at all too spicy.

The illustrated menu with photos of all dishes offers a large and interesting choice, many vegetarian dishes, steaks (250 Baht, among others duck steak) with a sauce of your choice, and cocktails from 120 Baht. Very generous portions, beautifully presented and artistically decorated. Fresh fruits are served complimentary for dessert. Upper price range. Inside partially exclusive wooden furnishing, while the open air area is only equipped with plastic tables. Very busy place! The female owner takes very good care of her customers and recognizes each one even if they come back the first time after two years and surprises them with their favorite drink.
