There are many reasons why The Boudoir has attracted a large number of loyal customers and stood solidly at the top of TripAdvisor’s ranking. Travellers from all over the world have given the restaurant countless appraisals, not only for the quality and authenticity of the food but also for the welcoming ambience and the friendliness of the couple, Magali and Patrice. While Patrice dazzles diners with authentic, scrumptious French cuisines, Magali ensures that guests have a pleasant time at the restaurant.

The Samui-Villa.com team would love to know more about the people behind this amazing place, so we got in touch with them for a short interview. Check it out below.

Could you give us a short intro about yourself and The Boudoir?

We love working with people. We are passionate and attentive towards our customers and aim to offer them a beautiful evening. That’s why we created The Boudoir to be a cosy, warm, friendly and romantic place.

What got you started? Why Samui?

We spent 10 years of vacation in Koh Samui and decided then to settle here, enjoy a great quality of life and, above all, realise a dream, my husband’s dream.

We arrived in October 2010 with the will to not work anymore and live a peaceful life on the beautiful island of Koh Samui. Days were nice but became repetitive in the long run. So after two years we decided to get busy, meet new people and share with them. That’s what we do today and we are really happy about it!!!

What are the challenges and what have you learned overcoming them?

The challenges are to ensure the consistency of the service, to continuously challenge ourselves and provide the best for our customers. So far, we have managed to do that.

How do you find the inspirations for The Boudoir?

We find our ideas from magazines, websites, and also from discussions with our customers. From those inspirations, we find our ways to implement them.

What is the most fulfilling part of your life/business in Samui?

To help my husband fulfil his dream – creating a memorable experience for customers across the world is truly amazing – trust me!!

What is the next step on your journey?

We consider coming back home as we are very close to our family. But for now, we go on our adventure.

  • There is one more 100% vegan place on Koh Samui (in Lamai area, just in 120 meters from Lamai Veggie which is the last one in this listing) — Yoga House & Spa (http://house-yoga.com/en/vegan-cafe). It is inside the yoga studio, just opened (July 2016), is cozy & nicely decorated, offers (mostly) European dishes & desserts from Monday to Saturday (11 AM — 7 PM).

  • Thank you! Such articles are very useful. Would be twice great if you can add some info about Yoga House to your article… ;-) Photos and details are available by the link I've provided (or I can answer any questions you have).

  • Koh Samui photographers are really amazing photographers. They make the moment memorable for the rest of our life. Recently I attend my friend's marriage party, it was beautifully designed and maintained until the end. Thanks to Magic Day Co. Ltd Wedding planner to make her marriage memorable.

  • Awesome article and such helpful information. Thank you so much for the topics and the content. It helps a lot, after I was hopping around the beaches on Samui. My favorite one was the naturism beach in the north. A small bay, only us and coconut trees. Oh, i really over the place. But now I am back in Canada and saving money for my next trip in 2 months. Last time I passed the chance to do my diving license on Koh Tao. That is what I need to do this year. If somebody has any suggestions, I will be very happy. Unfortunately, on the last day, I had booked a nice boat cruise tour from Samui to Koh Phangan, for a very fair price, and with excellent service. I saw too late, that this brilliant company https://kohsamui.tours offers all tours and activities like diving or jet ski safari around Samui Archipel. I start already to study a bit for my next stay and looking for your next blog posts. Have a good time and thanks for all.

  • Thank you very much for these extraordinary helpful articles, great pictures and advertised tours. Based on your information, we decided to take a guided boat tour through the Koh Samui archipelago. With https://kohsamui.tours we found a very cheap boat tour that we can really recommend. From the pick up to the food and the tour guide everything was sensational. We surprised, that everything was running so smoothly and comfortably. We never expect that Thailand has so much beautiful nature to offer that it is truly incredible. We are looking forward to further articles from you and read with great interest. Best regards and stay healthy.
