THE KITCHEN PATTAYA BEACH
Read moreKitchen is one of the city's best-known addresses. Just a stone's throw from Walking Street, the restaurant overlooks the main street and is an ideal place to quench your thirst and enjoy a meal. The food here is very good, but it's hard to choose because there's so much to choose from. From Thai to international, you won't be disappointed (the full menu is available on the website). Special mention for the Chicken Panang XXL skewer and the fine apple tart with homemade ice cream. Menus in French.
EL BARRIO
Read moreWant to change your mind? Visit El Barrio restaurant to taste some excellent Mexican specialities. On the menu: tacos, fajitas, burritos, guacamole but also ceviche, to be served with a fresh Desperado or a good bottle of wine. It is certainly a little expensive but the dishes are prepared with imported quality products. To whet your appetite, have a small tequila, with salt and lemon served on a miniature chair. Modern and pleasant setting, very warm and smiling service. To try!
ZONG ZI PAD PAD
Read moreWe fell in love with this restaurant located in a new and modern building. It offers a rustic eastern cuisine, that is to say the traditional cuisine of the province of Trat but also that of Isaan. The dishes are carefully prepared and delicately scented. The formulas are served in a lunchbox and include several dishes. It's an opportunity to taste new flavours in a rather chic setting. A real pleasant surprise, both for the originality and quality of the cuisine and for the very low prices charged.
FLOATING SEAFOOD RESTAURANT
Read moreDinner dinner in Pattaya Bay. Seafood specialities and fish on the menu.
BEE BEE FOOD
Read moreThis outward-looking restaurant attracts both passing tourists and locals. Bee Bee is on the stove and prepares both traditional Thai cuisine and excellent thin pastry pizzas (on Fridays). Her husband's in the gym. The dishes are hearty and tasty, and adapted to European palates. On the other hand, the service can sometimes be a little long or even totally nonchalant if the bosses are absent. The Bee Bee is still the best place in Ban Phe to spend a good evening with friends
CABBAGES & CONDOMS - BIRDS & BEES
Read moreBeautiful romantic terrace with a view of the sea from a large tropical garden. Good selection of traditional Thai dishes. The place also offers a bar (Skinny Dip Bar) for those who just want to break. The Cabbages & Condoms is the Birds & Bees Resort restaurant, part of the profits being paid back to a foundation that supports the schooling and well-being of disadvantaged children in the north-east of the country.
SEA HOUSE CAFE & RESTAURANT
Read moreLocated in the main street, at the level of a crossroads with traffic lights. Bar, restaurant, WIFI connection. A practical point of reference.
LA GRILLADE
Read moreRestaurant located in the southern area of Pattaya, beyond the «hot district» (pedestrian area), right next to the French-speaking Area. The place is rather quiet. The location manager, Jacky, offers different options at reasonable prices. Grills and pizzas.
SOMSAK DI’S
Read moreThe kitchen of this restaurant is renowned for its quality.
RUAN THAI SEAFOOD
Read moreView of the bay and boats at anchor. Interesting explanations in various languages, including French, are provided on the menu, setting it apart from other establishments. And the food? Much the same as its neighbors: very fresh seafood, preferably grilled. If there's more than one of you, it's best to order several dishes so you can build up a range of grilled fish and seafood. Dishes requiring more skill are rarely successful.
CHANTHORN RESTAURANT
Read moreThis restaurant is located near the Kasemsarn Hotel. The setting is pleasant, you can sit in the large white tiled room or on the small terrace. The cuisine, mainly from the east of the country, is excellent and the prices are quite reasonable. Thai customers come here in large numbers. Specialities based on crab with coconut or shrimps. The most courageous can try the massaman curry with chicken and durian! The desserts on crushed ice are very refreshing. One of the best restaurants in town.
PIER 112
Read moreThe place is atypical, a house with metal sheets and a big wooden surfboard as a panel! The place comes alive in the evenings when it is nice to stop by for a drink. It is modest but nevertheless attractive, located just opposite Residang Guesthouse. Juke box with 1960s rock'n roll (but also CD player!). Simple and good Thai cuisine, international dishes being less successful. Several vegetarian options are also available. The place is also open for breakfast. Friendly welcome but nonchalant service.
15 PALMS BEACH BAR & RESTAURANT
Read moreCatering, billiards and television make this place a place to entertain and relax. Choice of fish to be grilled on demand, international dishes but the price of cocktails seems excessive. The tables are installed on a terrace or directly on the beach. Large footstools allow you to enjoy the sea breeze with your feet in the sand. The place also rents very stylish rooms, but so are the rates....
OODIE’S PLACE - FOOD DRINKS LIVE MUSIC
Read moreFamous place on the island to eat and drink. On the menu: good meat and fish recipes, "à la française", pizzas and other dishes from the Southeast Asian region (such as the Mongolian barbecue). The chef worked abroad for about fifteen years before setting up on his own, and his know-how is real. Blues, rock and folk musical entertainment every night, starting at 9pm. Perfect to have a good evening!
LENG KEE RESTAURANT
Read moreBe careful, this restaurant is not on Soi Leng Kee. Reputable establishment without being of great standing, with a room open to the street. Choice of various Chinese and Thai dishes and very reasonable prices: duck, lacquered, fish and seafood, soups and some vegetarian options. The establishment is open day and night to satisfy the demand, which is great as you can attest! A very good address that doesn't look like much, which you will appreciate all the more if you go there at the end of the night.
KATI CULINARY
Read moreThis small restaurant offers excellent cuisine concocted just like at home by Kati. It is located in a charming house on the side of the road. The dishes are delicately presented and the different flavours are balanced. It's probably the best Thai table on the island. Everything is worked out minute by minute so the wait may be a little longer than elsewhere, but your patience will be rewarded. For dessert, try homemade coconut or passion fruit ice cream. Cooking classes are also given.
NONG BUA SEAFOOD
Read moreLocated south of White Sand Beach, near Klong Prao, this restaurant serves good seafood specialities. The egg noodles (egg noodles) prepared on the premises, served with seafood, are to be tasted. The menu also includes classic dishes such as pad thai or chicken with cashew nuts. The rates are still a little high, but the address is busy. Some recipes hit the bull's-eye while others are more mundane... Open room and pleasant terrace. Correct service.
MORDI E FUGGI
Read moreA very small restaurant but worth the trip! The friendly chef is transalpine, which is already a guarantee of authenticity. The map is quite small but this is often a good sign, with an emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Homemade pasta, ravioli, lasagna, pizzas... The day's suggestions are recorded on a slate. Everything is delicious. Wine list, limoncello, grappa... The place was expanded in 2019 with a small air-conditioned room in addition. Probably the best Italian on the island.
PHU-TALAY
Read moreA particularly charming place located on the riverside, on the road leading to the Iyara Resort. A small wooden house with white and blue in predominant colours, with several atmospheres (terrace, room). As you can imagine, Thai-style seafood specialties are served here. It's excellent and the rates are very affordable. The terrace of this restaurant is very pleasant. It is nice to stroll and admire the coming and going of the boats on the river. Low prices, pleasant service. Warmly recommended.
IYARA SEAFOOD
Read moreThis wooden restaurant on stilts is located along a river, just at the mouth with the sea. To get there you have to take the street of the Ramayana Koh Chang Resort. In addition to the exceptional location, guests come for the excellent fish and seafood preparations and the mild prices. The classics of the national cuisine are also served here. The service is a little nonchalant but the quality of the dishes and the splendid view make you forget this false note. The wooden structure is a little floating, but it holds!
