Bite Me Bistro--Best New Place in Town

[expatdude]

Well, I'm stoked. This has to be the best food deal in town now. Get yer asses down there while the going is good.

 

I just had lunch at this place on 3rd Road at the top of Soi Lengkee opposite New York Pizza and Boxing Roo bar. Here's their Facebook page:

I had the seared Tuna excuse the stolen pics:

 

 

From the menu: "Sesame Seared Rare Tuna (195 baht). Served with a seaweed and pickled vegetable salad and Ponzu dressing"

 

It was very tasty and an excellent value at 195 baht and 20 baht for water.

 

My friend had the pork chop:

 

 

From the menu: "BBQ Jack Daniels Marinated Pork Fillet (290 baht). Baked potato and slaw."

 

Also very tasty. My friend is sleeping it off now.

 

The owner knows what he's doing. He deserves the support of all foodies in Pattaya as far as I'm concerned. Don't miss this place.

 

Here's the menu:

Looks good. I may try the mackeral Caesar salad.

[expatdude]

That was on my radar too!

[socrates]

I concur - right now this place if they develop it right has the potential to be one of the best restaurants in Pattaya and the surrounding areas

 

I put it right up there with Cafe des Amis and Brunos

 

Plus from what I understand the menu will be changed very regularly

 

Fingers crossed for this place - its taking on the big boys

took this pic dec 22nd, the first time i clocked the place....

 

 

the van in the pic is coming out of soi lengkee onto third road

 

as mentioned in the OP new york pizza and roo bar are almost opposite

access inn is a short distance behind me as i took the pic

[expatdude]

Yes, I only had the tuna. I blew out my knee recently, so exercise a lot less and I'm eating less to compensate.

 

The tuna was just fine portion size for me. I had a few bites of the pork too.

Amazing. Most days I park near there and walk right past that place, yet I have never even noticed it.

 

The signs dont really indicate that it's an upmarket bistro, or even that it sells food at all for that matter. Very odd choice.

[expatdude]

Today they're doing the full meal of the seared tuna for 100 baht off, 290 instead of 390.

 

Sounds like a lot of tuna.

 

I saw this announcement on the Pattaya Wine & Dine group.

[splitpin]

Looks great, that Tuna starter would be enough for me as well, how much is the New York strip loin? can't see in your pic

[expatdude]

I think the New York strip is 450, if I recall correctly. I remember the chef saying he wants to keep everything under 500 baht. He also said he uses local beef, but if it's done right it's very good.

 

I'd love to hear a second opinion on that one. I like a good steak, but it tends to stay in my system too long so I don't do it very often.

I walked past today around 4pm no menu on display and the impression I got was of an order and pick up joint

[socrates]

So the dozen or so tables were not there?

[expatdude]

A big flashing neon "Food Served Here" might be helpful.

 

Edit: You have to remember, they've only had a soft opening so far.

[socrates]

One other tip - if you join the:

You get 10% discount - mention this when asking for your bill

[socrates]

Went in today and was told by Ewan he had a group of 15 coming in - so we ordered Seared Tuna - he offered us the main course instead and at the previous days price - 290 instead 390 baht - and he even gave us the 10% Facebook TW&D Group Discount

 

Excellent food again and the group started gathering just as we had finished

[TWD]

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

Just working out today's special, it will be a fillet or a Strogonoff at a great price, soon as I wake up properly I'll post it

[KittenKong]

So the dozen or so tables were not there?

 

The layout is such that these aren't immediately noticeable from the street. I noticed the plants and the logo/sign, but had no idea of the style of food being served or indeed that it was actually serving food to eat on the premises.

 

Even something just saying "Bistro" or "restaurant" would be helpful.

 

A legible menu in the window or a large sign with a couple of descriptions and prices would be even better. "Today's special - seared tuna platter - 290B" for example. This gives you a good idea of the price range and the sort of food. Most other restaurants round there do this.

+1..........I pass by daily and before I saw it touted on here I would never have guessed it was a sit down restaurant.....no room for tables/chairs on the outside

[beerman]

I just had a wonderful dinner there with teerac. We had the seared tuna for a starter and then we both had today's special, which was a lamb skewer on a Greek salad with hummus, a yoghurt sauce and a tangy tomato sauce. We both liked the lamb dishes and we both loved the seared tuna. 

 

The restaurant is very casual but still has a very nice feel to it. The food is of high quality, seasoned nicely and imho, a very good value. I'm happy this place has opened so close to my stomping grounds and I certainly hope it does well. I've included a couple pictures of tonights dinner. 

 

 

[TWD]

Thanks for the comments, all taken on board. Only been open a few days so a few things still in the Thai pipeline. Signs and menus are a couple of them.

 

Didn't post the special, sorry about that. But it will change daily. There's also a new set menu (see pic) but it will change regularly - please check with us by calling Ewan on 09 23456 385 if you want to have more info about the specials and menu on any particular day.
