"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La Carotte is a fantastic place on Koh Tao! High-quality, delicious food, very fast service, and an amazing selection — about 98% of the menu is vegan Everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

"During my stay in Ko Tao I went here every night (every single one!) to grab dinner. Bruno and his team are such lovely people and they really cook the best Thai fusion food in the world. Totally recommend the stir fries and the green curry, but really every single food there is freaking delicious! Such an awesome place for vegetarian/vegan people! I came for the food and found a friend, all the love to you Bruno!"

"Best food you can get in Ko Tao! The quality and taste is outstanding. Extremely friendly and they take care of all allergies or dietary restrictions. We discovered this place last year and came back to eat every day here. The menu offers a lot of variety but the Haw Mokk and the Thom Kha were just mindblowing."

"When our guests at Lücke Boutique Hotel ask for a place that serves clean, flavorful food, especially those who are vegan, vegetarian, or request no MSG or fish sauce, we always recommend La Carotte Qui Rit. It’s a cozy little spot near the pier and within walking distance from Lücke Boutique hotel with a warm atmosphere and a menu full of wholesome dishes made with care. Everything is fresh, tasty, and thoughtfully prepared, perfect for guests who value mindful eating. A must-visit while you’re on Koh Tao, your body (and taste buds) will thank you!"

"By far, the best restaurant we‘ve been to in Thailand so far! As a vegan, I can recommend 100% but also for non-veggies because the flavors melt in beautifully of the fresh variety of veggies and herbs. the food had great quality, the cook and waiter were very nice and courteous and the meals looked very instagrammable:) plus were affordable. we will definitely come here again, next time we‘re in Koh Tao."
