Why it matters
Why Lae Lay Grill, Ao Nang is worth your time
A beach view and sunset are what many visitors want in Ao Nang, and a hillside grill gives both at a table. Lae Lay Grill is named by two independent guides, which suggests it has lasted.
It is not a vegetarian restaurant. Vegetarians get salads and steamed vegetables, not Indian dishes, so families with mixed diets should check the menu. It is also a more expensive meal than a market stall.

How to experience it
Lae Lay Grill is at 89 Moo 3 in Ao Nang, on hills overlooking Nopparat Thara Bay. Thai Holiday Guide lists fresh lobster and whole grilled fish, and the Thaiger lists squid, crab, lobster, shrimp, steaks and poultry. It also says vegetarian options include fruit platters, salads and steamed vegetables.
The setting is the main reason to go, and sunset is when the view is best. A reservation is wise for that hour. Order grilled fish to share, then add salads and steamed vegetables for anyone avoiding meat.
The hillside position means the walk in is not flat. Ask whether staff can arrange a close drop-off, and confirm hours, because the Thaiger piece dates from 2021.
