About
CONTEMPORARY LATIN AMERICAN COMFORT FOOD At ao we aim to explore the diversity of flavour and cooking styles from some of the 27 countries comprising Central and South America as well as the Latino Caribbean islands. ao's menu showcases tapas, empanadas, tacos, ceviches, seafood, steak and Latin comfort foods, prepared with modern influence and technique, while embracing the traditions of this incredibly delicious gastronomic region. FOOD & DRINK FOR THE SOUL Sometimes, the history of a culture is best represented by its food, and that's certainly the case with the Latin American cuisine at AO. Ancient Mayan and Pre-Colombian ingredients meet modern plating and European and Asian fusion at this hip restaurant in Lamai. Take the classic Cuban ropa viaja, somehow both strong and subtle, rich and light: an interplay of flavors and textures. It is a fitting introduction to AO's complex Latin cuisine and a metaphor for the overall dining experience there. The synthesis of the traditional and the modern makes for a unique dining experience, different from any other fare on Samui. Upon entering AO, you will be seductively drawn to our modern gastrobar-style bar that is well-stocked with top shelf spirits. Our temperature-controlled wine cellar holds a vast collection of some of the finest European, South African and South-American wines as well as Champagne especially selected by iG, who, bearing in mind price and quality, picks a variety of classical French wines with the right vintage from the various regions.
