Baan Manao - Authentic Cottage & French Cuisine

I live in Bangkok for years and this French restaurant is one of the best I've tried so far. If you want authentic, generous, tasty, fresh French cuisine, Baan Manao is the place to go!

My husband and I visited Koh Lanta on our honeymoon and we found ourselves at Baan Manao our first evening in Lanta Old town. After meeting Pierre and Sidhanand and trying Pierre’s tarte flambé we opted to stay in Old Town and stay in the adorable homestay above the restaurant. We couldn’t have asked for a dreamier location with great waterfront views and amazing food. Pierre makes amazing croissants (and everything else too) and Sidha teaches a great yoga class every morning. We ended up staying three days and our hosts were wonderful and they even helped us find out next homestay on more rustic Koh Por Island. We plan to visit again!

The french Pizza (Flammkuchen) was very delicious and the staff provided great service. However, it comes at a real premium price. One Flammkuchen will probably not be enough, so either you order a second, or you might need a second meal later on. So it all comes down to your budget limit.

Amazing breakfast! Super tasty and I loved the ambiance of the place. So relaxing

This place is heaven! We never thought to get such a amazing french Dinner.it was just fantastic!
The owner Pierre helped us with some locals to go fishing and we had a private yoga lesson with his wife. Nicest people in the old town!

Thank you very much for everything
The next time we will stay at your room

WOW. Amazing food and super friendly staff. Honestly, the food is just incredible. We had the french breakfast with eggs. Just so nice.

We had an amazing french dinner and we came back in the morning for a yoga session in front of the sea that left us new. The owners are super nice and the food is organic. I recommend it 100%!
