Best vegan food in Koh Lanta

Best vegan food on the island in relation to the price. Extremely cheap, it even feels bad to pay such little amount for such big and good dishes. The vegan pad thai with tofu only costs 50bth!! Order the vegan rice with masaman curry and tofu, it’s delicious! They even have desderts. We’ve been here three days and already came back twice. The staff is also really nice.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Very cheap, Good quantity and quality

Absolutely delicious

The food was so good; and the seating area was large and charming. It was pouring rain while we waited, and it was very peaceful watching life go by from under the shelter. We ordered Panaeng tofu, massaman curry, yellow curry, and pad Thai, all vegan-they were all excellent. For dessert, we got the pineapple fritters with chocolate sauce, which were yum. The staff had a very good understanding what vegan meant.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Plenty of space, Cheap

5/5 Food!!

Best food in Koh Lanta, the owners are very nice and care about vegan customers and wishes. They already have vegan dishes on their menu and also make everything vegan if you want, even the pancakes. We ate here at least once a day during our stay in koh lanta and loved it!

Pros: Customizable Menu and fair prices , Very nice owners, Great taste

Good Thai food for cheaper prices

I had pad thai and fried morning glory here and especially the morning glory was delicious. Also my friends liked their vegan foods. The prices seem to be cheaper than in other restaurants that have similar menu, except other restaurants don´t usually have such a good vegan section, if they have it at all. ¨

Yawee is not a fancy restaurant, instead it is an open air restaurant by the main road near Lanta Animal Welfare with no interior design or other things that usually make restaurants more expensive. This place concentrates on good Thai food.

When we got there by sunset the place had only a few customers, but in about 15 minutes it got full. Then it took a long time to get our food. So maybe the place gets crowded during sunset (high season only, on low season many places close because there is not much tourists). I visited Yawee in February 2020.

Pros: Concentrates on good Thai food, Good vegan section on menu

Cons: Took very long to get food when the place was full

Amazing food, cheap prices

I never left the restaurant hungry.
They had a lot of options and the prices were so cheap. And on top of that - the portions were big enough to fill you up.
Definitely recommended!

Pros: Many options, Cheap, Nice staff

Amazing food, good value for money

This was our favourite place to eat in Koh Lanta. I still can't believe how much food we got for such a cheap price and just how good it was! They even serve vegan milkshakes for 50-60 baht. 😍 Fried tofu with massaman curry was our favourite and only 50 baht per serving. And the staff are very polite and friendly. Will definitely come here again when we return to Koh Lanta!

Nice food in open air restaurant

Setting wasn't great being next to a main road, but service was lovely and food tasty. Good selection of veg options. Green curry was flavourful and not too big. Free water was appreciated.

Amazing curries!

Read about this place on here and we were staying near it so went to check it out and it ended up being my favourite Massuman and Panang curries I’ve ever had! Flip the menu to the back few pages to find the vegetarian vegan section.

Tasty Food at a Great Price

Had the Massaman Curry with Vegetables and rice for only 90 baht. Meals was a good sized portion and super tasty, definitely value for money. Will be back while I’m in Koh Lanta. Decent amount of vegetarian options across dedicated multiple pages in the back of the menu. Free water. Super quick service.

Great spot

I love this place - I ate here most days and while it may not be the best food ever, it’s tasty, super cheap and the staff are lovely! There’s a whole veg section at the back of the menu with main courses 60-90B including rice. They have free water on the table but also sell delicious coconuts. It’s not the speediest place, so if it’s busy, you may have a little bit of a wait

Best in Koh Lanta

If I could give this place 6 stars I would (it won’t let me give 5 due to not being fully vegan). It was the best meal that I have eaten during my time in Thailand and also the cheapest. The young man who served us was lovely as were the other staff we encountered. He also knew what vegan is which was very reassuring. This place was particularly good because they cook the veggie dishes separate to the meat dishes and use an alternative to fish sauce - a constant worry as a vegan in Thailand! They also offer an extensive drinks menu of smoothies, juices and shakes. The have soy, almond and coconut milk. The value and taste of the food is incredible. Everything tastes so fresh. The spring rolls and Massaman curry with fried tofu were particularly delicious. I wish we had discovered this place when we first arrived in Koh Lanta! Thank you for a lovely meal.

Pros: Fret and delicious food , Lots of vegan options , Very reasonable prices

Cons: We couldn’t find any fault with this place!

The best food on Koh Lanta

What can I say about this place. I love the food here so much. They don't have vegan on menu only vegetarians but you can request them for vegan or anything you want. Even fruits shakes you can ask for almond milk. They're very flexible and understandable your wishes. Food is very good and tasty. Staffs are very nice and friendly. Between 7pm and 8pm is pretty busy so be sure you're on time for your dinner! Oh and it's very cheap too! Very very recommended.

Pros: Very cheap, good value , Great food, Vegan by request

Sehr viele leckere vegane Optionen

Das Essen ist unglaublich lecker und auf der Karte gibt es sehr viele Möglichkeiten als Veganer froh zu werden. Vom Papaya Salat bis zu Currys lässt es sich hier zu kleinen Preisen gut speisen.
Wir empfehlen besonders das Massaman Curry

Most Delicious on Lanta!

Someone recommended this restaurant after asking if we were vegetarian/vegan. We felt so lucky for the information because we could not only afford to eat at Yawee multiple times but it also was the most savory place we may have ever eaten! Most dishes are just 2-3 USD and were large portions.

The staff felt like family by the time we left the island, who gave us chopsticks and banana chips when we informed them it was our last day.

Their iced lattes were delicious, offering almond milk, coconut milk and soy milk. If you're ordering things like pad Thai that usually contains egg, just make note of that when ordering. The young man there is fantastic with his English and will certainly accommodate.

They have a good selection on their menu if you're in a dense veggie mood, but the thing we most recommend is the rice topped & fried tofu massaman curry. It is like nothing I've had before! The mixture of pumpkin and fried tofu is mouth watering. If you're in Thailand and haven't yet tried morning glory, then be sure to try it! You can't go wrong with their curries, they are the best I've ever had! Their spring rolls are obviously freshly made, with the pile of cabbage and carrot shreds served beside the rolls as a nice crunchy raw snack to munch on.

If I could encourage anyone to try a place to eat or wish I could eat at that one restaurant that is too far away, Yawee would be the place. Don't miss out on this amazing restaurant for so many reasons!

Pros: Affordable for Travelers, D E L I C I O U S !, Variety of Options
