Fish Tales at Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui: Luxury Beachfront Dining in Koh Samui

Who says all beachfront dinners feel the same? At Fish Tales, dining unfolds at a different pace—one shaped by the rhythm of the sea and the quiet intimacy of a private bay. Tucked within the secluded cove of Garrya Tongsai Bay Samui, this is where romance feels effortless: the sound of waves replaces conversation fillers, candlelight dances with the breeze, and fresh seafood is reimagined with contemporary flair. It’s the kind of evening you’ll want to linger in—and remember.

Seafood to Share

The evening begins with Seafood to Share, a beautifully curated selection of bite-sized dishes designed for communal enjoyment. Barbecued prawns on skewers arrive glazed in a punchy lime-garlic sauce, followed by sesame-crusted grilled tuna atop refreshing seaweed salad. Crisp salmon tartare tacos add playful texture, while grilled scallops with mango-ginger salsa deliver a perfectly balanced sweet-and-tangy finish. Each bite reflects Fish Tales’ philosophy—celebrating ocean-fresh ingredients through modern technique and thoughtful composition.

From Garden to Plate

At Fish Tales, the experience extends beyond the table, with selected herbs and ingredients freshly picked from the own organic garden. The signature Caesar Salad is prepared tableside and tailored to your liking, elevated with grilled Phuket lobster, crisp romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, bacon bits, herb croutons, and homemade Caesar dressing. A gentle pause follows with roasted asparagus crowned with creamy burrata, where the delicate richness of the cheese meets the sweetness of grilled tomatoes, complemented by toasted walnuts and vibrant chimichurri.

Signature Mains

The experience continues with rosemary pork prime rib, carved and finished tableside with vibrant chimichurri sauce. Slow-roasted for tenderness and infused with fragrant rosemary. For a lighter, ocean-inspired option, butterflied garlic prawns are roasted in aromatic garlic-parsley butter and served with a garden salad, warm garlic bread, and fresh lemon, offering a bright and satisfying coastal flavour. Adding a touch of local inspiration, the spiced local prawns feature grilled prawns paired with a fragrant Panaeng curry dip and refreshing cucumber relish, served in warm pita pockets for a vibrant balance of spice and freshness.

Sweet Ending & Signature Sips

Dessert is a classic tableside tiramisu, freshly assembled beside your table, adding a touch of theatre to the finale. The experience is best paired with one of the restaurant’s signature cocktails—Saneha Cocktail, a delicate expression of Thai elegance crafted with premium Thai gin infused with aromatic Earl Grey tea from Northern Thailand’s Chiang Rai, beautifully balanced with fresh grapefruit juice and lime juice.

What Fish Tales offers goes far beyond a seaside meal. It is a thoughtfully layered experience—where flavours unfold with intention and the atmosphere quietly works its magic. For those exploring Koh Samui’s vibrant dining scene—from beachfront dinners and sunset cocktails to live music evenings and relaxed beachside bars—Fish Tales is a destination worth marking without hesitation.

Special evenings add even more character to the experience, with seafood buffets, pop-up dining events, and live entertainment bringing a lively yet refined energy to the beachfront setting. Just steps from the restaurant, a casual lounge and beachside bar offer the perfect spot for sunset drinks or laid-back gatherings by the sea.
