Such a gem!

This was my go to restaurant on Koh Lipe. Their smoothiebowls were nice with the best view. It’s a really nice place to chill for a while. I also did yoga here one time which was really good and again, the view!! One time I had the Pulled jackfruit taco and that was just heaven. You have to try yourself!🤤

4 stars, because the coconut milk taste in the smoothiebowls was too much and their staff is not really friendly. I didn’t feel welcome coming here unfortunately.

Incredible

Awesome vegetarian restaurant with plenty of vegan options. We ate here everyday the week we stayed in Koh Lipe. Jackfruit tacos, rice and veggies, Thai noodle dishes. We loved the fritters for an appetizer.

A must go on Koh Lipe!

The food was incredible good!
The staff is more than friendly and the atmosphere - sitting under a traditionally covered hut - was just great!
The menu includes plenty of delicious vegan options.
You should really go there when on Koh Lipe!

Pros: Delicious local food, Friendly staff, Atmosphere

Beautiful view and delicious food

Loved this place and came back a few times on our trip to Koh lipe. Loved everything we got, especially the happy hour pina coladas. They also had good coffee and a cute swing that lots of people were taking pictures on.

Tapas style lunch

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.

Creative Fresh Thoughtful Food

Lovely this place is open for us specialist eaters! Always thankful when somewhere quite remote.

Large portions, diverse menu and well put together dishes that are full of delicious flavours and textural contrasts.

Bravo to the chef here. Fully recommend. Bravo

Love this spot!

Of all the places on Ko Lipe, this one is definitely my favorite. The food is always so fresh and really filling (huge portions!) I had the mango salad, tofu bowl, and falafel bowl and my partner had the falafel tacos and jackfruit tacos. I will say that the falafel bowl was the most food out of everything. The tacos are hugeee and so are the bowls. The mango bowl is probably the least filling though bc it doesn’t have rice or anything besides cabbage. The views on the property are so stunning and it’s really nice to just relax here.

I wouldn’t particularly recommend the peanut butter banana shake as it was supeeeer watery. The flavor was there, it just wasn’t very thick.

Pros: Beautiful views, Delicious, nutritious food , good price

Chill lunch spot

Really nice menu with a variety of options. Loved the oreo shake and the tofu satay bowl. The Falafel salad was a little overdressed in my opinion, still enjoyable especially if you're after a healthy option but I would ask for the dressing on the side. I had the jackfruit tacos as well which were tasty as well. Also great to see reusable napkins!

Some of the best food on the island!

The standard of food at Bennies far outweighs the beach-bar environment. The green and yellow curries, for example, are as good as the very best restaurants on the island (and beyond)!

Best vegan stuff on lipe

Stayed on lipe for 20 or so days, checking out many restaurants and Benny's was out favourite. Have so many vegan options with that tip top Thai standard of delivery.

Unfriendly and okay food

The woman behind the counter just stayed after we sat down and looked at us, but didn't bother to come to us. When we got to her for the order, she was quite unfriendly towards us.

Food was okay, we had the 3 snacks for 200baht and 2 falafel taco's (beware, this is a lot to order as we found out as we were very full). Tofu bites are not recommended as they are just big balls of tried tofu, not very special. The fried spring rolls were okay as were the veggie fritters. The tacos were also okay.

A must on the sunrise side!

Location on the beach is awesome place to sit, relax and enjoy yourself. Would eat at least one meal a day there if we we’re staying closer. Friendly staff and no matter where you sit nearby they find you with your food.
I had the tofu satay bowl twice because it was so good. Remember to ask for your desired level of spice as mild means medium here. #Veganuary

Pros: Many options , All delicious, Big portions

Cons: The nearby dive shop customers make it crowded

Great Smoothie Bowls

Had the Burmese tea leaf tacos, the chunky monkey smoothie, purple Benny bowl, tofu bites, and curry over 2 days. Super delicious and fresh. Food takes a while to come out so don’t be in a hurry😄

Not a nice experience

The food was mediocre and the staff was just very rude. Read a lot of good reviews, but this was just bad. Unfortunately because it’s a nice place.

Excellent food

We had breakfast every day at Benny’s. The granola with fruit and coconut milk is delicious.

If you are looking for a dive centre, Adang Sea Divers are affiliated with the restaurant and vegan/vegetarian lunch is included if you do multiple dives in a day. The divers menu has lots of options, although if you don’t like spicy, make sure you tell the staff.

Highly recommend both the restaurant and the dive centre!

Love this place!

Great place - love all the environmental messages - as well as great food and 90s music playlist! Great food right on the beach. Smoothie bowl for breakfast and Pad Thai for lunch were both delicious and cheap (compared with other restaurants on the island).
