One of the best restaurants on the island. The fish was fantastic, as was the corn with ranch - delicious. The charcoal cheesecake was also beautiful and tasty. The only downside - the place is pricey especially compared to other places on the island. Having said that - we loved this place!

Charcoal Bay Wine & Grill was one of the best dining experiences of my trip to Thailand. Located right on the beach walking street, it combines great food with a beautiful ocean view and a calm, romantic atmosphere. We actually came here twice because we enjoyed it so much. The dishes we tried included the pork and apple skewers, the Fisherman’s Son seafood sharing plate, a whole grilled fish and the duck leg confit. Everything tasted exceptional. The flavors were rich and smoky, thanks to their special Spanish brick oven that gives the food a distinct grilled aroma and texture. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the owner came by to chat and make sure everything was fine. They even have two friendly dogs walking around, which added a cozy and welcoming touch. Service was a bit slow at peak time but always polite and warm. Prices are very fair for the quality you get, and it’s a nice surprise that VAT and a 5% service charge are already included, unlike many other places. Overall, I’d give Charcoal Bay a full 5 out of 5. Excellent food, lovely setting and genuine hospitality. Definitely a restaurant I would recommend 100%.

Good food, great service and amazing vibe by the beach at Charcoal Bay! We even got a chance to meet one of the owners. She was so lovely! We’ll recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a sophistication dining experience by the beach with gorgeous sunset on Koh Tao island.

Randomly came across this restaurant, decided to go to with my partner to celebrate our 2 years anniversary. Ordered the red snapper, scallops, truffle parmesan fries, garlic shrimps and some cocktails. Everything was a 10/10, thank you for our waiter for making this dinner special ! Oh and must try the charcoal cheesecake !

As a backpacker I decided to „treat myself„ to this place during my stay and it was really yummy. I had the burger and a margarita and watched the sunset - it wasn’t the best burger I had in my life but it was still good and the drink was yummy as well. I think mainly it’s the combo of the good service and the insane scenery that made it worthwhile :) I would be back if I had burger cravings again!

The absolute best date night spot in Koh Tao! This place is everything you want for a special night out. We went as two couples and it was a huge hit. The atmosphere is incredible—right on the beach with tables near the sand and beautiful lighting. Come at the sunset. No need to reserve a table. The food is a total standout. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing, and the first dishes were all fantastic. They have a great selection of wine and cocktails too. What really surprised us was the price; it feels like a high-end experience, but it’s fantastic value for the quality. If you're looking for a romantic dinner with great food and a perfect vibe, this is your spot. Highly, highly recommend! Not paid for promotion just my honest opinion.
