The Mountain Grand View

Here is one of the Koh Samui’s best kept secrets!. Perched atop the jade-coloured hills of Koh Samui is the Mountain Grand View restaurant, an enchanting hideaway that can only be described as a “tropical Jurassic wonderland” without the risk of being eaten. An unusual mix, you might say? Well, that’s what makes this place uniquely intriguing!

The restaurant, living up to its name, affords guests stunning 180-degree mountain and sea views.

But let’s get to the heart of this outlandish description – the dinosaurs. Quite contrary to the expectations of fine dining, here, Triceratops and T-Rex have swapped their bone-crunching tendencies for the much gentler pursuit of enhancing your dining ambiance. Amidst the lush greenery, the lifelike sculptures of these prehistoric giants stand in a frozen roar. They provide an exciting, if slightly surreal, backdrop to the dining area, serving up a prehistoric vibe to your Pad Thai.

Now, let’s shift gears from the land of the lost to the island of luxe. The infinity swimming pool is the real stunner. Suspended over the verdant hillside, it merges seamlessly with the oceanic horizon. It’s not just a pool; it’s an optical illusion where water, sky, and happiness blend into one. Dip your toes in the cool water, or take a leisurely swim. Even the dinosaurs can’t do that (their arms are just too short)!

Of course, no gastronomic adventure is complete without the food itself. The menu at the Mountain Grand View bursts with a vibrant selection of Thai dishes, each a culinary masterpiece that tickles the taste buds. From the spicy Tom Yum soup to the creamy Massaman curry, the food complements the visual feast unfolding around you.

And the cherry on top? The sense of peace. Maybe it’s the soft rustle of the palm leaves, the stunning views, the silent company of the Jurassic giants, or the tranquil lap of the pool water against the edge. Likely, it’s a mix of all of the above. The ambiance is so soothing, even the T-Rex seems to be contemplating mindfulness.

The Mountain Grand View restaurant isn’t just a dining destination; it’s an experience where excellent food, stunning views, and prehistoric companionship all converge. It might be slightly off the beaten path, but remember, all the best adventures require a bit of exploration. Plus, how often do you get to tell folks, “I had dinner with dinosaurs and took a dip on the edge of the world?” That’s a vacation story worth telling and an amazing fun for kids looking to play around dinosaurs or instagrammers seeking for photo opportunities!
