The best restaurants Kuah

This fine Thai restaurant has a chic air about it, with decorations typical of the Kingdom of Siam and fabric-covered tables. You'll find the great classics from the north of the peninsula, such as delicious chicken cooked in banana leaves, tangy tom yam soups and velvety coconut milk curries. Dishes come in three portions to be shared according to the number of guests, and fish is sold by weight. It's also a good place to indulge in a refreshing green papaya salad.

A meal from the sea is a must in Langkawi. Weng Fung offers to feed locals and tourists alike with a variety of delicate dishes prepared in the Chinese style. The restaurant ticks all the boxes for a successful meal: it's clean, air-conditioned and delicious. But the room is small and has only a few tables, so it's best to come early if you don't want to queue for too long. The house specialty is chilli crab , but you can also opt for the teowchu-style pomphret, if you prefer fish.
