Absolutely loved our experience here last night.
I went only expecting to like a couple dishes as I’m not very adventurous but I loved every single dish , all 10 of them!
you get to experience foods that you wouldn’t get to anywhere else & all the food is fresh and either grown by the chef & family or caught fresh & local.
The whole evening was spectacular from start to finish. A night we will never forget & already wishing we could make the dishes at home!
Thank you 🙏🏼

The Gallery is Exceptional.
The tasting menu is fantastic, delicious and, yes, a bit pricey compared to eating down the hill but worth every penny…and more.
This is not a “show-off” tasting menu, it’s a carefully curated selection of delicious and entirely unpredictable dishes that each have a story to tell.
And the Thai wine was also delicious!
The staff were first class and the host, Chris, did a great job explaining the experience and welcoming us into his and his wife’s (also the chef) “home”.
It’s without a shadow of doubt the best, most interesting, food on Koh Tao (and I suspect among the best food you’ll find in Thailand), set in a beautiful venue that is not just far from the madding crowd but has a great ambience and a DJ who clearly enjoys the music he plays and respects his audience.
Kudos to all.

This place is truly special. Chris and his wife (the chef) took us on a journey all around Thailand through their incredible food. Not only was each dish so, so delicious, the setting is breathtaking. It’s more than a nice meal out, it’s an experience. Chris explained each dish in such a great way and every dish has a great story which I loved.
The passion that they have is so clear in the food and atmosphere created. Exceptional service too, so thank you to all the wait and bar staff :)
We will definitely be back. Thanks again!

We had a very special Christmas Eve here with “Trust the chef” at The Gallery. Started the evening with some delicious sunset cocktails at the bar before heading upstairs where the food was served. The DJ is great, and don’t think I have Shazamed more songs in my life, haha. Chris was very talented and it was very interesting to listen to the story of each dish. We weren’t a big fan of the bottle of Thai wine we got recommended, but that’s just our taste. The waiters were incredible. The food was amazing, however the portions are very, very small so do not come here too hungry (I’m not even a big eater). Paid 10500 baht for two persons including food, a few cocktails and a bottle of wine so it’s not cheap but a nice way to celebrate special occasions.

I went to The Gallery a few nights ago after reading all the positive reviews and I was not disappointed. Upon arrival I was greeted by Chris, the owner, who explained what the night entailed and did everything to make me feel welcome, as I was the only solo person attending that night. It was a rainy day so we missed out on the sunset, but in all honest the rain added to the jungle ambiance and was quite nice. The meals selected by the head chef, Chris' wife, were phenomenal. I'd have to say it was the best meal I've had in my 3 weeks in Koh Tao, by far. The explanation of where the dishes came from and the traditions behind them was like taking a step back in time as some of the dishes have vanished from regular menus over the years.
I want to thank Chris, his family and the rest of the staff at The Gallery Restaurant for such a memorable experience. If you're looking for a nice night with great food, great atmosphere and great people I highly recommend booking a spot. You'll be glad you did!!

An astonishing food experience. A culinary trip through Thailands food culture presented by the owner Chris and his wife “the chef”. Don’t miss this!! Why this restaurant doesn’t have a Michelin star, I don’t know.

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin. This experience was truly amazing. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The cocktails were made to perfection and the food was exceptional. Each course takes you on a journey throughout Thailand and is throughly prepared and presented by the amazing and attentive staff. My partner and I live and work in Koh Tao, so this dinning experience is far out outside our normal routine and means. I can honestly say it was worth every penny. I cannot wait for future celebrations so we have an excuse to return. If you are visiting Koh Tao or looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, I cannot recommend the Gallery enough.
Special thanks to our host Chris, Pbu the head chef, and Matoaka the incredibly friendly dog who kept us entertained and added to the warm and inviting atmosphere.

Incredible experience, food, service, atmosphere. Definitely recommend this restaurant run by talented, nice and humble people. 🍛
Its a small setting and makes you feel like you’re invited to someone’s home 🏡
We particularly liked that it was a cultural experience where we learned about authentic cuisine. Chris shared some info about the history of Thailand and how it influenced the food industry in this country. Its like a Tasting Museum 😁
They adapted my menu to suit vegetarian, or in my case pescatarian preferences, in a way that I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. 🪷
My partner and I had a great time.

Tonight I had the pleasure of dining at The Gallery. “Trust the chef” is a wonderful concept: you get to travel Thailand’s cuisine geographically, but also through time.
Chris does a wonderful job guiding you through the evening. And Chayaphon creates incredible dishes. She briefly addressed us at the end of the evening, and it was wonderful to hear from her. Not only is she extremely talented in the kitchen, but it is clear she prepares each dish with love.
I felt guilty that I couldn’t finish every bite, but there was too much food for my small appetite.
I hope I have another special occasion in the future, so I can return to dine again.
Thank you to everyone who made my evening such a delight!
