Barracuda restaurant first opened its doors in 2010, but we weren\u2019t always one of Koh Tao\u2019s seaview restaurants. Our first location was on ground level on Sairee walking street, just a stone\u2019s throw from our current location. Back then, we had capacity for only around 20 diners, compared to the 50-60 we can seat now!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAs our reputation grew and demand for bookings surged, we quickly outgrew our premises on the walking street and moved to a larger location elsewhere on Koh Tao. A seaview restaurant still wasn\u2019t quite within our reach at that point, but our next move changed that!\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We\u2019ve been in our current rooftop location with Koh Tao seaview restaurant status since 2018. Here, we\u2019ve continued to grow, and we\u2019re proud to say many of the same staff members who helped us get started are still part of the Barracuda family today. Our people-first approach is at the heart of everything we do, and as a result, we have one of the strongest and longest-serving teams on the island.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
