Kata-Karon is a popular spot for tourists. During high season, the whole place can feel a little overrun, but the restaurant scene is pretty vibrant. In particular, there are more than enough Swedish restaurants dotted around the place. Otherwise, there are some standard Thai restaurants and lots of places catering to Western tastes.
