Samui Phangan Real Estate Magazine April-May

Situated directly on the shores of Bangrak beach and accessed via a short
path from the main road or the beach itself, Ocean 11 is truly a hidden gem.
Well known to locals and those who do their research
on dining-must-trys when visiting Samui, Ocean 11
has garnered itself a great reputation for consistently
great fare with a view to match.
You could be mistaken for lounging in Spain with the
orange hues that adorn the walls and tables, along
with the distinctly Spanish tiled bar, giving diners a
somewhat tapas restaurant feel and with the food
described as a mix of Mediterranean and Thai, it's
easy to see how the two merge so seamlessly.
The menu offers a wide variety of Thai, International
and Seafood cuisine, all prepared fresh, with great
care and to order. Daily specials are also offered and
presented on a blackboard to all diners. If you really
cannot find anything to your personal liking, please let
them know and they will do our utmost to satisfy your
culinary requirements.
Fish and seafood is bought daily from the local fishmarket,
thus you can be assured of absolute freshness
and quality. Occasionally, you will see their entrusted
friend and local fisherman ‘Khun Pan’ delivering the
day’s catch right to their restaurant. You will later find
these ocean treasures on their blackboard menu the
very same evening.
Meats are either imported or bought from reputable
suppliers and sources on the island and Bangkok.
Vegetables (some organically grown) and fruits are ripe
and tasty, some of them grown in their own gardens.
There are so many great choices on the menu, such as
the Tuna Tartare with a distinctly Thai edge, laced with
a 'larb' style flavour which meshes perfectly with the
freshly cut tuna or the Crab Ravioli, a delicate blend of
fresh, sweet crab meat and parmesan infused sauce.
The Goat’s cheese, baked and dusted with paprika, is
served on a delicious slice of homestyle bread and is
complemented by home-dried tomatoes and garlic.
Mains are just as good, with the Rack Of Lamb being
the shining star or for something more fitting for being
ocean-side, try the Snapper wrapped in a banana leaf.
Simply delicious.
Desserts such as the Fried banana spring rolls are hard
to pass up, drizzled with chocolate sauce and served
with vanilla ice cream these are a great way to finish off
a wonderfully relaxed meal by the sea.
The beverage selection includes local and imported
beers, new-world wines, cocktails, juices and mixers,
as well as an ever-growing choice of premium liqueurs,
aged wines and classy champagnes. There were
some great wine specials during our visit, making it
all the more tempting to open a bottle and stay for
the evening.
So if you're looking for a special night out, visit Ocean
11 and relax on their teak-decked terrace with Big
Buddha as a majestic backdrop in the distance.
