| Koh Samui didn't receive the name of a Tropical Paradise just because of its beautiful beaches. The diversity of cooking styles and the quality of the fare itself makes the island a veritable "gourmet's paradise" too.
Our eating habits have changed over the years and we all try to eat smarter and healthier in this day and age. With this in mind, French Master Chef Cyrille Keyser and his Team have created a menu using the best local and imported products available on the market, resulting in a truly eclectic culinary journey.
Zazen now offers a brand new range of menus for any time of the day, starting from a wonderful breakfast with home made breads, pastries and rolls, imported fine cold cuts and cheeses, and a wide selection of warm dishes that you may order to your taste for one of Samui best wake-me-up surprise.
The Lunch Menu is fresh, light and nutritious. It offers many choices from the tantalizing salads, to the must-be-tried Samui Zazen Cheeseburger & Traditional Club Sandwich, as well as a complete collection of Traditional Thai Cuisine.
The afternoon is marked by the mouthwatering Tapas Selection, where Chef Cyrille proposes freshly prepared bites for your to enjoy on Samui’s Bophut Beach, around the swimming pool, while sipping one of your favorite cocktails.
As far as the Dinner Menu is concerned, we’ll let Chef Cyrille explain you in detail…
A word from the chef:
“I have thought to demonstrate that simplicity with a touch of creativity
and passion will bring out the best in ingredients, making cuisine different, special and fun.’’
Chef Cyrille Keyser
