4 Monkeys Cafe and Bar is a beachfront gem that deserves a solid five-star rating. Despite its higher prices, it's an ideal spot to watch the sunset, indulge in flavourful food, and enjoy a great selection of beers and cocktails.
The beach views are breathtaking, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for romantic evenings or gatherings with friends. The menu offers a delightful fusion of Thai and international flavours that are well worth the premium prices.
While the costs are on the steeper side, the quality of the food and drinks justifies the expense. The only drawback we encountered was the lack of credit card acceptance, which prevented us from enjoying one last evening at this remarkable spot.

A great little restaurant and bar slightly elevated above the beach with direct beach access. Beautiful view of the sea, very friendly staff and a rich selection of local and international dishes. I really like it here and feel very comfortable in this bar. A place to enjoy, relax and have culinary delights.
Addendum to the review:
I was there for dinner last night. If it were possible, I would give it 6 stars. It was the best Thai food I have had anywhere in Thailand or the rest of the world.
It proves once again: the best food is not necessarily in the fanciest restaurant or in a 5-star hotel. It can also be in a beach café!
4 Monkeys - my favourite place on Koh Samui!

4 Monkeys Coffee Bar, located in the north of the beautiful Koh Samui is a must visit if you are around. If you're a coffee and cocktail lover who also enjoys a great breakfast, then you've found the café. This little hideaway is located in the heart of Bang Por Beach and offers a relaxed beach vibe.
Go and enjoy the fresh barista-made coffee with amazing beach views. Whether you prefer a hot and cozy latte or an icy cold fresh fruit smoothie, they have something to satisfy every monkey lol in town.
We had the pleasure of visiting seven beachfront restaurants, all of which were excellent. However, one restaurant stood out from the rest was the 4 Monkeys Cafe & Bar at Ko Samui, Surat Thani. For starters, we ordered the tempura prawns which were divine - the biggest and most succulent we've ever had. Chicken with garlic and pepper was great. The restaurant has a quirky vibe and plays great tunes, making it a lovely spot to spend an evening. Don't walk by and miss out on a fantastic meal - we will definitely be back!
Nice little coffee shop with a great view. Great fresh fruit smoothies. Not sure where they’re cooking this giant unnecessary menu though. Didn’t try any food.

We really enjoyed our meal. My grilled chicken salad was fantastic, the sesame seed dressing was so good. My friend had basil prawns and a chicken soup, she said it was one the best meal she had in a while. My husband had prawns with bean sprouts and it was really tasty.

Stopped here one afternoon for a quick bite to eat and was really impressed with the food. The pork belly and panang curry were both delicious. The coffee was also really good. Fair pricing and good service with great beachfront views. Was worth the drive a bit out of the busier areas to get here.
