SunFlour Village Eatery by Alex

[davidge]

I think this is a relatively new place towards the top of Pratumnak Soi 4. I went there with a friend for dinner. We went earlier than we usually do and got there about 6.15pm. It has an interesting menu:

We placed our order and then noticed the waiter clearing the outside tables and bringing the signs in. It turns out it closes at 6.30pm so we kept the staff late as it was 7.10 before we left. It’s obviously ‘last orders’ by 6.30 but we still felt a bit guilty. We don’t usually go to eat until 7-7.30 so it was lucky we went earlier this time.

For starters I had broccoli soup and my friend had a Caesar Salad:

Both were very good. 

For our main course I had sea bass ‘cooked in paper’ with a side of roasted vegetables and my friend had salmon pasta. The fish was absolutely excellent and there was a lot of it, there was an interesting vegetable selection which was also very good. Friend said the pasta was also excellent.

 

Service was friendly without any fussing. The decor is a bit basic, there was Muzak playing slightly too loudly and the tv was on permanent buffering - not that it matters as we were there to eat.

My bill, including a soda, was 430 baht. My friend’s bill, including a water and a baked cheesecake to finish was 550 or 560.

I was very happy indeed with the meal and it wasn’t too expensive either. It’s somewhere I’d be very happy to go back to - though the early closing is a bit restrictive. I think they are popular for breakfast and also do a selection of cakes etc in the afternoon so I guess it’s not aiming to be an evening restaurant.

I also went there for the first time today. Yes, interesting menu. I had The Boss steak and eggs. It was very good. Three eggs, a nice amount of picanha steak, roasted potatoes, tomatoes, onions and a toasted bread roll that was fantastic. Included juice or tea. 300 baht IIRC. Very happy. Will go back soon.

Besides my first experience which they forgot my drink and had to go in to remind them about it, took about 40 minutes for an iced tea.. no apology.

I regularly go there for breakfast, nice menu, service is usually good, food is pretty good, haven't had a bad meal so far. Am keen to try there other items on the menu later.

I had a delivery from them. They do the delivery themselves on Pratumnak and nearby for free. Contact them for charges further afield. They’re not on Grab etc just message them on Facebook or phone them.

I had a Caesar Salad with chicken and a California Cobb Salad delivered, both cost 220 baht and were excellent.

IMO, currently the best pancakes in town since the Big Kahuna closed their business.

Went back this evening with a friend.

Chicken breast with creamy brown rice risotto.

Excellent once again. Too much for me really but I managed it 😊

280 baht including a soda.

Friend had pasta and salad and it was also excellent.

I agree, yet to find somewhere that does better pancakes, keen to try the Bischoff ones. There bacon strips are great too with the pancakes.

 

Also tried there iced cappuccino, was really nice, the main girl doing the service is an absolute legend, her service is top notch.

@article22 , @duke main and I frequent Sunflour.

They really have a nice menu for breakfast, lunch or an early dinner.

Like someone mentioned probably the best pancakes in town (Hemmingway's are decent too, but more basic)

The best bacon I have ever had in Thailand.

Really good, fresh coffee and baked goods.

There are not any Thai items, so just be aware if you bring a Thai girl.

Kind of a small/medium sized place, so I am a little worried about too many finding out about it.  555

My TGF and I had breakfast there yesterday. 

The owner appears to be European (guessing Spain due to the restaurant style and music) and his wife appears to be Filipina (English accent and grammar).

None of that really matters, it was more about information only, as they nice people and run a nice little cafe, restaurant.

The photos below are the #1 and #2 (the Cowboy), plus the shop, and s new sign that appeared near the register.  555

Thank you for the visit, 

my husband is American , i’m Spanish Filipina 😁 , please let me know when you visit us again and say hi ! 😂😂😂

That food looks amazing and great prices. 

[geezerrb]

Got to admit the food looks good and the prices are reasonable, they obviously have their reason for the 18.30 closing time but with that type of menu, it does puzzle me somewhat. I am guessing it may be family reasons, like to be in actual control for which I don't blame anyone, who wants to overwork and lose family time. When my friend is back in May we will definitely give it a try.

The owner did say on FB that the staff are there until 8pm but last orders are 6.30. I agree it’s a bit early but Pratumnak Soi 4 is really quiet in the evenings, unlike Soi 5, so I’m not sure there’d be a huge number of customers. When I walked up after eating here the Italian place nearby had a few customers and the Irish Wolfhound was, literally, one man and his dog.

The coffee place next door to Sunflour closes even earlier.

Cheers @davidgeit's an area I must explore more, as well as Jomtien as I may move to one or the other at the end of my current lease. I have to admit I have not been following PA quite as closely since I moved here beginning of November and without wanting to TF hope things have settled for you as I remember you were having a few difficult times.
