How to choose just one dish? - Edit
Amazing vegan restaurant with so many GF options. It took us almost 30 minutes to decide. We ended up splitting 3 dishes for 2 people and we ate way too much. One dish per person is plentiful.

Cons: Pricier than some others but has large portions

Best Vegan Restaurant Ever! - Edit
This is honestly one of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to. I keep going back to this restaurant because I want to try everything on the menu - it's all so good! They have tofu scramble, vegan shakshouka, thai food, vegan desserts (cheesecake mmmm) and so much more! The serving sizes are also large which a hungry vegan appreciates haha. If you're ever visiti Koh Phanghan, you cannot miss out on this heavenly place!
Read morePros: Lots of variety , Good selection of raw and cooked food , Amazing desserts
Cons: I wish I could cook like them

MY FAVOURITE VEGAN RESTAURANT - Edit
By far this is my favourite restaurant in Koh Phangan, Thailand. I love that everything is vegan! The menu offers a wide range of healthy vegan eats to guilt free delightful treats! Their vegan cheesecakes are to die for! Plus they offer a variety of different cuisines/flavours from around the world. Some of my favourites to indulge in are the mushroom burger, breakfast burrito, & cheesy shrooms wrap. When I’m in the mood for something healthy I go for the raw sushi, blended veg soup, or one of their tasty & filling salads.
Read moreI definitely recommend eating at Orion! Huge plus is that they are located on this stunning beach so you get a beautiful view, sound of the ocean, also the staff here are very friendly & funny!
Pros: Unbelievably deliscious food, Stunning beach front location , Warm atmosphere
Cons: I can only eat so much

Fantastic - Edit
I just love this place. I did yoga everyday here - The food is outstanding and so inspiring! I had the Chucky Mushroom dish on the Thai menu which had the most wonderful spicy fermented mushrooms - no idea how they made this but the flavour was outstanding. I will return again and again I can also recommend the Orion Cesar salad with the vegan smoky bacon. And the desserts are so tasty.

Brilliant food with a brilliant view - Edit
To be able to eat such delicious food, while sitting looking out to sea and listening to the waves is such a lovely experience. I personally would recommend any of the bowls as they are all very tasty and some of the most filling items on the menu that I have tried. Great smoothies too! With honey being the only non-vegan ingredient used (only in some dishes/drinks), there is so much on the menu to explore!

Great location, decent food - Edit
Very nice location next to the sea, very relaxing atmosphere. I liked their tempeh burger and breakfast burrito. The curries unfortunately were lacking flavor and frankly reminded me of a German veggie soup, rather than a thai curry - and they are overpriced.
Read moreSo I would recommend going to Orion for the nice atmosphere and location, but sticking to the Western dishes.
Pros: Great location by the water, Nice relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Some food lacks flavor, Pricier than others

Peaceful dinner - Edit
The food was delicious and served in a very relaxing setting. Lots of choice, all vegan except honey in a few drinks. Mostly very healthy. Only downside was the head chef had left early, meaning we couldn’t have the specials, but we arrived quite late so it’s understandable.
Read morePros: Relaxing, Delicious food, Open later than most places on phangan
Cons: Head chef not in all evening

Great Atmosphere, Delicious Desserts - Edit
We were really satisfied with our visit to Orion. We shared the raw sushi, breakfast burrito and raw banana and chocolate cheesecake. One of the best vegan desserts we'd tasted and the breakfast burrito really was tasty.

Misleading - Edit
At first glance Orion seems like an amazing cafe. The setting is beautiful and I was happy and hopeful sitting under the charming pagoda awaiting my smoothie.
Read moreMy experience was tainted unfortunately. The staff seemed indifferent and unwelcoming, and met my requests lefting me feeling demanding and difficult.
What ruined the experience entirely was the dishonesty of the operation. I was under the impression (from reading information on the website and looking at the menu) that Orion has its own garden and serves at least primarily organic produce. This turned out to be NOT true. The staff reported without hesitation that no fruits or vegetables were organic and everything was bought at the local market.
It is important for me to post this review. When you eat at a healing retreat and expect the food to be clean and safe, it is a sad feeling to learn what is actually being served.
Orion Café needs improvement in the quality of the vegetables - or AT LEAST honesty in their menu.
Pros: Location, Eat with a view
Cons: Dishonest, Not organic, Unwelcoming staff

Disappointed - Edit
I was looking forward going to Orion Cafe for their raw and organic produce. I was very disappointed and felt mislead! In their menu and online Orion states that their produce is organic whenever possible. I asked the staff twice and both times they said that "there are no organic food here, we buy from market", refering to the market in Thong Sala, which does not sell organic. There are different small stalls, bigger supermarkets and organic shops where you can purchase both organic and "pesticides-free" vegetables and fruits, but unfortunately Orion does not serve these.
Read moreFurthermore the staff wasn't very welcoming or friendly.
The location of Orion cafe is beautiful though, and the menu is extensive with both raw and cooked dishes - but being mislead about the quality of the produce ruined my experience.
Pros: Beautiful location
Cons: Not organic, Poor service

Well... - Edit
...the different dishes you can choose from the menu is huge and the dishes and drinks itself taste also very good! But unfortunately the staff isn't friendly at all, rather snippy and stroppy. Almost no smile. We also had to wait very long for our order. Would have definitely given more stars exclusive for the food and drinks.

Out of this World!!! - Edit
This restaurant serves the best vegan food I have ever tasted in my life! The quality, the quantity, the freshness, the spices, the sauces, the diversity all SPOT on!
Read moreMy first time I enjoyed a luscious vegan Caesar salad. It was crunchy, served with an amazingly creamy dressing and included some seed crackers and croutons. So tasty and a good size.
Then I chose the raw vegan blueberry cheesecake. Oh. My. Gosh. I am telling you, it was bursting with flavor. I couldn't wait to go back.
Well today, I was not disappointed. I ordered the Vegan Raw Sushi. It was just the perfect balance of creamy and crunchy, wrapped in nori and served with a delectable veggie noodle salad and 2 different dressings.
Along with that I ordered the Raw Coconut Soup. It looked like a green smoothie, actually, but the taste was out of this world. Cool, refreshing and healthy. Too much food, I could not have dessert.
Going back tomorrow.
Pros: SETTING, AMAZING VEGAN FOOD, HOURS ARE GENEROUS
Cons: NONE

I LOVE Orion Cafe!!! - Edit
the food here is really tasty and healthy. I love the big variety of the menu.. and juice! you can feel the ingredients are very fresh and nutritious. It's difficult to find a good vegan place on island and here is the one. The cafe view is spectacular, beach front and nice breeze. The atmosphere is really pleasant to come eat and hang out..
