Why it matters
Why Pure Vegan Heaven is worth your time
Koh Samui is a hard island for strict vegans, since Thai cooking leans on fish sauce, shrimp paste and egg. A restaurant where the whole menu is reported vegan removes that daily negotiation, and it is useful for the one or two meals when you want to eat without questions.
The menu also goes beyond Thai dishes, with burgers, gnocchi and burritos that suit younger family members who tire of rice and curry. For Indian vegetarian families the food will be unfamiliar in style, so it works best as a change of pace alongside the island's Indian restaurants. HappyCow also lists the place as vegan in Lamai, which supports the main guide.

How to experience it
Pure Vegan Heaven is described by a vegan eating guide as a 100 percent vegan restaurant in Lamai, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That makes it unusually easy to plan around: there is no need to question the staff about fish sauce, egg or dairy, because the kitchen is reported to avoid all animal products.
The dishes the guide singles out are a mushroom and bean burger, sweet potato gnocchi with pesto and a breakfast burrito. For something lighter there is an acai and peanut butter smoothie bowl, and a mango and passion fruit shake. A sensible way to order is to share one main and one bowl first, then add more if you are still hungry.
Because it is a small independent business, treat the menu as a guide rather than a promise. Look at the board when you sit down, ask about spice levels if older relatives prefer mild food, and confirm opening hours the same day before making a special trip from another part of the island.
