26th Degree has been particularly blessed with a very fine location overlooking the sea. It’s perched on a steep hillside commanding spectacular views of Chaweng bay while from down below you hear the sound of waves on the rocks. It’s one of those rare spots that pleasantly combines the dramatic with the picturesque. The open-air sala that comprises the restaurant is surrounded by greenery, with all kinds of trees and shrubs close by. Eat in the sala itself, or if you book a day in advance, ask to be seated on the wooden platform – it’s deliciously private and completely away from the restaurant. This is one of the most romantic dining spots in the whole of the island – it often serves for wedding ceremonies. Only one table is to be found here, and there’s just one setting for the entire evening – you’re welcome to linger, and you’ll want to do so, as the setting is so fine. 
The menu relies wherever possible on local herbs and ingredients to produce fusion dishes of the highest quality. Many of the dishes are international but are given Thai touches. For example, try white snapper baked in Thai bamboo and flavored with massaman spices and served on a local potato and spinach gratin. Other popular dishes include wild frizzy shoot salad with soft shell crab chili and coconut dressing, and tandoori chicken – it’s marinated in twelve different spices and then oven baked.
26th Degree is also a wonderful spot for drinks or a cocktail: just down some steps from the restaurant you’ll find the Rabbit Bar, a tastefully decorated hideaway with tables on the terrace and great views.
