O
f all the thousands of dining establishments worldwide the most sought after and renowned are the stylish roof top restaurants. It’s been almost two years now since Hilton Pattaya opened its own offering into this select market, Horizon, which has now become unquestionably the premier fine dining establishment in the area. Horizon is situated majestically above the Pattaya skyline on the 34th floor of the world famous Hilton Hotel Pattaya. Boasting an impressive interior design to offer guests spectacular views of Pattaya City, Horizon features 1,390 square
58
meters of indoor and outdoor space, which includes three private dining rooms with floor to ceiling glass panels allowing for seamless views over the city and the bay. Guests can also enjoy a few drinks at the open-air Infinity Bar while taking in views of the skyline. On entrance you will be met by the highly motivated professional staff and directed to your selected table, be it inside the sophisticated restaurant itself or one of the many luxurious sofas on the terrace. For the romantics, why not get here early and watch the dramatic sun set gradually down over the namesake horizon.
The chefs have created an unparalleled menu of culinary genius and art with only the best imported and local seafood and meats from all corners of the globe. My wife and I had been eagerly awaiting our first and definitely not the last experience at Horizon. I started with Blackened Hokkiado Scallops, which arrived in a green onion vinaigrette with squid spaghetti and smokey tomato sauce. All too often, scallops can be very difficult to master, but these were cooked to perfection and just melted in your mouth. Madam chose Duck Confit
