Cafe “Cucumbers” on Lamai – perhaps the best place on the island, where You can eat Russian cuisine. I have this opinion not for one visit, and it happened not only for me. If set question in any of the communities of Samui about the rating of delicious Russian restaurants, the cucumbers will lead by a majority vote. it modest cafe, without claim to status and without pathos, but with sensible chef who cooks so that a rare guest leaves without praise, and without shaking hands. Cafe owners Cucumbers are family owned a couple from Omsk who are doing their favorite thing.

Cafe Cucumbers on Samui
Cafe Cucumbers is located in the center of Lamai, across the street from Indian restaurant Tandoori Nights, next to offices of SamuiDays (realtors), Robinson Tour (excursions) and Italian restaurant Tropicana (Italians), over which there is bright orange sign in the form of the sun. Cafe Cucumbers is not the most roads, and deep in the yard, so the noise of the beach street Lamai here it flies not so intensively. In the same yard there is parking for 10 motorbikes, but cars can not be put here, alas. But across the road from Ogurtsov there is an inconspicuous passage between the houses that takes you to the parking lot of a large one-story building with Thai apartments of 3.5 thousand baht per month.
Cucumbers has three dining spaces: seats in the room with air-conditioned, places under a canopy on the street and places with umbrellas under open air, near the brazier. In the afternoon, there are usually not very many guests. you can always hide from the sun in the shade and coolness, but in the evening, when people are catching up with the beaches and excursions, you can sit and on the street under a darkening sky. The place is generally cozy, despite the abundance of concrete around.

The menu in the cafe is not complex, mostly the most popular dishes, familiar to people from the USSR. In addition to borscht, pancakes, ravioli and solyanka, they make lagman, shurpa and khinkali.

As always, everything is delicious, at home.
