Rareview Coffee & Restaurant — Restaurant in Krabi Province

Update: went back, had 2 entirely different dishes, and everything was wonderful. Thank you!

We stumbled into this place on New Year's Day because the restaurant we planned on was packed to the gills. So glad we did, because the food was outstanding. Sat on the dock with a nice ocean breeze. We had the sour curry with fish, fried basil with chicken, and mixed fried vegetables. The prik nam pla was some of the better we've had - I don't know if it was the kind of fish sauce, but it was salty, sweet and sour perfection without being too briny. The fried basil was excellent, but my wife ended up using all the prik nam pla to spice it up. The fried mixed vegetables is a dish we like to get often, and this was one of our favorites. I couldn't finish the fish curry because the portion was so generous, and I genuinely felt bad because it was one of the best dishes I've had on Koh Lanta. It was spicy but had great depth of flavor, and the fish was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive, we were very pleased, and would/will definitely...

If you are looking for an amazing beef burger I will highly recommend Rare View, the meat is good quality and feels like a real American burger, the bun is toasted nicely and comes with pickle, onion, lettuce and tomatoes. The burger also comes with chips which taste good. We actually ate burgers a few times here during our week stay in old town as it was so delicious and not normally something I do! The service is quite slow at times so this could be improved, mains arriving before starters, aside from this I would say come here and have a great burger in old town, onion rings are sooo tasty too, one thing I would suggest to the restaurant is to add more onion in each ring otherwise they can end up just tasting of batter. Pricing is good compared to other places we ate at. The owner and the little girl are very sweet, Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Oh and the pier is brilliant! One of the best in old town and the swings...

We waited almost 45 minutes for our Food and then they got it wrong anyway 🫠.

My partner ordered soup with chicken and then got soup with seafood but was so hungry by then that he didn’t want to send it back. I ordered glass noodle salad medium spicy with tofu and got it very spicy (I usually don’t mind really spicy but my stomach was a little upset so that wasn’t the best). There was no tofu on it either and the glass noodles were a mere three bit amount. The rest was white onion, red onion, chives and chili, and some mushroom of which I left some pieces as they looked suspicious. When we later checked the bill it did specify everything as initially ordered and even said “low spicy” 🥸

It also smells like various things you shouldn’t be smelling at any point in a restaurant. Won’t...
