Big Bear Steak in Lamai is one of Dave and Kim's favorite low cost, high quality restaurants on Koh Samui. Located at the entrance of Crystal Bay Yacht Club and Crystal Bay Beach Resort, it is a must visit spot that, in Dave's words, probably will not disappoint.
A Favorite Cheap Eat in Lamai
Dave describes Big Bear Steak as one of their favorite low cost, high quality restaurants on Koh Samui, which is exactly the combination budget minded travelers hunt for. Thailand is famous for inexpensive street food, but sit down restaurants delivering western style dishes like steak at local friendly prices are a rarer find, and this one earns a strong recommendation.
Where to Find It
The restaurant sits in Lamai at the entrance of Crystal Bay Yacht Club and Crystal Bay Beach Resort, making it easy to combine a meal with a visit to one of the island's prettiest small bays. Crystal Bay, also known as Silver Beach, is worth the trip on its own, so lunch at Big Bear Steak fits neatly into a day of exploring the Lamai area.
