Any must visit restaurants while in Pattaya?

[MattyStock]

Heading to Pattaya for the first time in a few weeks. I didn't see any threads on MUST GO restaurants. Any one have some recommendations, or some spots that a first timer won't want to miss out on.  I love all  food, but am definitely biased towards Seafood.

 

I'd judge on 3 categories

 

1. Quality

2. Quantity

3. Price

 

Let's here some of your favorites and the types of food!?

I just look for food which is tasty and doesn't give me the shits

 

The nearest I can get to a "must go" reastaurant is Leng Kee.

It's on the corner of Central Pattaya Road and Soi Buakhau.

Good Thai Chinese grub very reasonably priced and clean.

Some of the BM's may think I am crazy, but I love Pattaya Beer Garden.  

 

They have a great selection of just about every Thai dish at a reasonable cost.  I also like the atmosphere.  Not a great place if you are looking for a romantic 5 star restaurant but definitely worth a look on an off night going solo or taking a date after you have been a few other places.

 

I actually love to go here to ensure i get a good meal before I go out and get my drunk on.

To the OP.........seafood can be expensive in Thailand(why I don't know.) The seafood place where you walk into the back onto

a pier  on Walking Street is VERY good and VERY expensive.

Try Rasputin for Russian on Walking Street..............Zaika for Indian on Second Road

Pattaya Beer garden is great.

 

Can I also shamelessly plug Secrets. Great Western and Thai food, big portions and not too pricey. Open till 4am.

Patrick the Belgian at Soi Diana has its quality and Quantity at its best , the prices is very reasonable , they have a special menu everyday at special price .

The best meal in town is at the Hilton for their lunch buffet. 500-600 baht so as you would expect it is expensive. But the food is superb and a wide variety of desserts. Each day during the week is different. I like Fridays for the seafood and turkey.

For seafood I'd say Mum Aroi on 3rd Road or Lung Sawai at the end of Jomtien Beach Road, great food and good prices. For other food Beefeater, Cafe Des Amis, Bruno's, Gian's and Mantra to name a few.

The best food I have had recently in Patts was at Cafe des Amis.

If you have transport and want superb seafood cuisine at a reasonable price and lovely surroundings try Preecha Seafood (it's on tripadvisor.)

its about 10-15 minutes drive south in Sattahip and really good for a lunchtime visit.

 

A friendly bar owner and his GF took me and my TGF there and I was not disappointed, it has lots of tanks with seafood you can pick (pricey) or an a la carte menu which is perfect for a seafood lover.

sadly the owner chef passed away recently.

I'm not a fan of this place.  Over rated in my opinion.

[chopper1]

The best for me are, Hilton lunch buffets, domicil austrian/german, the newer one by pattaya memorial hospital, ali barba ? Indian,globetrotters swedish, lone star, for ribs, friar tucks? Fish and chips.patricks, nr diana, fuji, zen japanese.

of course everyone will have a different choice, there are just somany good restaurants in pattaya, even in the shopping malls, I suppose it all depends on your budget

Prajanban, Pattaya Klang opposite foodland has very good and inexpensive Thai food. Airconditioned room available, big garden with many tables in the back, most lively in the evening.

Yes, Ray, good guy, may he rest in peace. Blue Olive and the other guys are still there though and the food is still good.

That is good to know the place is still there.  I haven't been in Thailand since (I guess his name was Ray) passed away.  I met him twice when I ate there and he was a nice guy.  Food was (is?) awesome.  Biggest complaint about the place is the damn SIGN out front is a deathtrap.  My mate banged his head into it and it is placed at a bad location.  Especially or a place selling booze.

Agree about the sign, I've done that too. They've put plants there presumably to stop people walking there and doing that but it was while I was busy looking at the ground trying to avoid tripping on them I hit the sign instead. Difficult as well as it's just as you're coming from the lit up area and going into the dark.
