Habitat Bar and Veg Restaurant is a plant-based restaurant and bar in Phra Ae on Ko Lanta Yai, Thailand, serving upscale comfort food that is entirely vegan and vegetarian. Its regular menu changes seasonally, while the smaller Green Season menu reflects the produce available each day, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and satisfying flavors. The restaurant also accommodates food allergies and makes its own vegan Parmesan, available for purchase in reusable glass jars. Its kitchen avoids seafood ingredients, including fish sauce, oyster sauce, bonito, and shrimp paste.

Sustainability is central to Habitat’s approach. The restaurant uses and sells water in glass bottles, composts all food waste, and uses compostable takeaway containers, while avoiding single-use plastics. Chef and owner Jen Troyer aims to show guests how enjoyable plant-based food can be, without judgment or pressure. Customers praise the delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Habitat offers restaurant and bar service on selected days, with happy hours from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.
