Looks great (and love me some Phat Thai), but this thread is focused on Western meals

Soz didn’t realise thought all meals under 300 Baht 

[Thomaz73]

From the OP

"recently read elsewhere that if you pay under 300 baht for a Western meal in Pattaya, you get garbage. I consider that statement both unfair and uninformed..."

Great looking pad Thai, though

Personally in my experience most of the really cheap restaurants serving western food in pattaya are serving low quality western food and normally small portions to keep the cost down .But there are plenty of restaurants in Pattaya selling decent western food  where you can get a good meal for 200 Baht

Horrors! Someone put pineapple on ham! Next thing you know they'll be putting mango on rice.

Had this yesterday, one of the best mac and cheese I've had, portion was so big I had to get the waitress to put what I couldn't eat in a container to take home.

Damn and blast! That looks tasty. Is it on the menu or one of those secret society things?

Don't know if it's actually on the menu, I saw it on their Facebook page. I normally decide what I want from RH from their Facebook, because a lot of their dishes aren't printed on their menu for some reason. But they do put a lot of effort in regularly updating their Facebook.

Had this yesterday at the Rock Factory, very tasty pork tenderloin goulash, if I didn't know it was pork, I would have sworn it was beef, was delicious, and tasted authentic.

Absolute bargain for 149 bhat.

 

 

 

BTW they also have probably the cheapest Thai chicken fried rice I've found in a restaurant/bar at 59 baht.

Absolute bargain indeed. And there's some other promising items on that menu. German style stuff. Thanks for the tip!

Hello everyone,

The Rockfactory is actually, as the name suggests, a Hard Rock & Heavy Metal live music club.
However, they also have a really amazing kitchen with a very extensive menu for a live club.
The owner is a German from Swabia and you can really taste it. Swabian potato salad - simply sensational. Me and my friends have been there quite often because the German cuisine here is really sensational.
Beef rolls with mashed potatoes and red cabbage, beef fillet with asparagus, vegetables and fried potatoes, creamy slices with rösties or noodles, mock medallions in a pepper cream sauce - incredible - to name just a few of the things we ate there, I also took some pictures. As I said, the menu is very extensive and includes various burgers and schnitzel variants, goulash soup and meat skewers, small snacks and Thai dishes.
We were all always very enthusiastic, no matter what we ordered. Everything tasted really absolute cream!
In the evening from 7.30 p.m. things really get going and you then know why this club is called Rockfactory. Rock and metal music at its best with a really brilliant band, the club is really awesome.
Everyone who likes to listen to Rock & Metal music should visit this club, you won't regret it.
If you're lucky, the original drummer from Running Wild will also be on stage and playing, because he's the manager of the club.

So friends - awesome as a restaurant and as a live club, definitely going to visit, but be careful - ADDICTION!

Well, you are sure not going to find a good steak under 300 baht in Pattaya and meals under 300 baht are the focus of this thread.   

But to be more helpful- there was a relatively recent discussion of steak in Pattaya in this thread: Best steak(house) around town?   A post by BM ChiFlyer had an excellent summary of what's available. The Restaurants, Cafe's, Take Aways & Nightlife Venues  section also has discussions of places which offer steak.

And for some inspiration-  How about this for dinner?

BM Rocker61 is actually one of the owners and reviewed it himself- just sayin'. Anyway, i heard plenty of good things about the food there back in april.

Buondi Itallia (or Buondi Italia Da Noong), 391/72 Thappraya Rd.
A family restaurant, offering (few thai and) italian recipes. No italians inside, only two thai madams (and some babies playing on the floor).

Never spent more than 300THB and never exit disappointed or still hungry :-P

Usually I prefer to stay outside, on small tables, because don't like too much the kitchen smell inside. For this reason, during my first visit I was very not very confident. But I had to change my mind and returned many times.

There was discussions earlier about Chill Inn and Jolly's got mentioned also.  Near lunch and I am staying very near and wandered down to take a look.  Jolly's was a bigger size and that's the reason I tried it first.

Could not remember the last time I had a Cordon Bleau and at 285B, thought why not.  The meal was quite large and I will probably only have a couple of spring rolls tonight, if anything.

Here's the pics:

Cruel. So cruel.  Now I am hungry 😁

Kungs The Burger 185฿

Not a traditional burger, it has homemade hash browns instead of a bread bun.

High quality ingredients, cooked well.

Very filling and tasty, highly recommended.
