Why it matters
Why Foods & Roots, Chaloklum is worth your time
Chaloklum is known for seafood, so a fully vegan restaurant on its beachfront is an unexpected option for vegetarians who do not want to eat at a fishing village's fish-heavy places. The other choices nearby will mostly serve fish.
The village is also quieter than the south coast. Combined with the existing Chaloklum village listing, a meal here makes a gentle half day for older travellers, who can watch the boats and then eat by the water.

How to experience it
Foods & Roots is on the beachfront at Chaloklum, the fishing village on the island's north coast. A vegan guide reports it as fully vegan, serving mezze platters and mains by the sea, with most dishes priced at 230 to 490 baht. A directory entry says it has operated since 2019.
The mezze platter is the suggested order, and it works as a shared starter for a family. The guide also notes the authors found the food basic and overpriced on an early visit, but that recent reviews are strong, so expect it to be a worthwhile but not cheap stop.
The restaurant opens in late morning and is reported to close on Thursdays. Chaloklum has seafood and simple Thai restaurants, and this is the vegan choice among them. Jain needs were not addressed.
