Cosmic
Italian restaurant - has two outlets on the island and serves very good pizza. aside from the pizza, the thai food at this restaurant is disappointing. as november 2009 all pizza cost 150 baht, all thai dishes with rice cost 80 baht.
Mr. Tee's
When you come off the ferry, veer slightly left and you find yourself on an alley covered by tarps, with small thai restaurants. you'll notice a lot of locals eating in this alley. the second booth on your left is mr. tee's. there's a signboard showing "mr. tee's" but its facing the other direction. they tend to be forgetful but the food is good, cheap, and spicy! there's a shop just opposite "mr. tee's", their food is just as good. they have the best fruit shake on the island. it's opened by another tsunami survivor.
In general, Southern Thai food is renowned for its spiciness. Much of the cuisine has its origins in Malay, Indonesian and Indian food. Favourite dishes from the south include Indian-style Muslim curry massaman, rice noodles in fish curry sauce Khanom Jeen and chicken with yellow rice.
Food on Ko Phi Phi is extremely varied, given the diminutive size of the island, but is not as spectacular as it generally is in Thailand, because most ingredients have to be brought in by boat from the mainland. Nevertheless there are some restaurants that manage to serve tasty food:
Calamero Resto
The usual suspects are served in this simple yet quality restaurant. a wide selection of breakfast, fresh pasta, pizza, thai food, sandwiches and more is complemented by fruit shakes, liqueurs and evening cocktails. and the best "fried ice-cream". all food is clean, good, cheap as reasonably priced.
Little Britain
If you are looking for a good traditional english breakfast with eggs, heinz baked beans, sausage, bacon, potatoes, mushrooms and black pudding this is the place to go. english tea also comes with your breakfast.
