PIZZA & PASTA FEATURE

Pattaya has an abundance of fabulous Italian restaurants serving wonderful food to both residents & tourists alike.

It doesn’t matter where you are in the city, you’ll be close to a quality Italian restaurant serving excellent pizza and pasta as well as other traditional dishes.

One of the best known restaurants is Trattoria Pizzeria Toscana located on Pattaya Beach Road, close to the junction with Pattaya Klang. The food is truly superb with many of the ingredients coming from the owner’s own farm so the quality can guaranteed. This is more towards the top end of the market but well worth it if you are looking to treat yourself or a loved one.

For those living in Naklua, La Grotta on Naklua Soi 33 is a great option for your pasta and pizza. This is a well-priced restaurant that certainly doesn’t cut any corners with the quality of the food and has an excellent ambience.

When it comes to Jomtien, once again you won’t be short of options with Gian’s probably being the best known, offering a great selection of pasta dishes as well as the usual selection of pizzas. Made in Italy is also another popular choice as too is Bacco Beach located in the Na Jomtien area.

Here’s our list of recommended Italian restaurants by general area: Pattaya Beach Road Casa Fellini - Rinapp - Trattoria Pizzeria Toscana - Terrazzo Thappraya Road La Bocca - Marco’s - Acquapazza - Pan Pan - Gian’s - Made In Italy Soi Buakhao Pizza Italy - La Taverna - White Pines Cafe - Spaghetti Bistrot Phratumnak Ruffino - Rossini - Dom Pizzas Na Jomtien Bacco Beach - Drifters Of course, there are excellent take away options too such as Nick The Pizza as well as the well-known international brands, Pizza Co., Dominos and Pizza Hut. Door 2 Door is also another great option for those who are reluctant to go to a restaurant and just fancy enjoying their pizza and pasta at home.

All in all, if you want to dine out or just want to lounge around at home, you will have a great choice regardless of where you are in Pattaya.

UNDER THE HOOD

under

the hood

An inside interview into Pattaya’s Eating Out industry Magnus Flyborg from Restaurant Oscar gives his answers to our questions on what it’s like to run a restaurant in a competitive place like Pattaya Q When did you open Restaurant Oscar?

A August 2015, after a 4 month renovation. Perfect timing for the new curfew!

Q Tell us about yourself?

A I’m from Sweden and a chef by education and trade. Met my thai wife in 2008 and our son Oscar was born in 2013 (restaurant is named after him).

Q Best day of the week?

A Would be my day off but i dont have one lol. We are busier during the week so any weekday is a great day.

Q Your favourite dish?

A A nice steak with lots of sides or some Scandinavian comfort food, delish...

Q Most popular items?

A Our Christmas dinner buffets are packed, but on a daily basis I’d say our 3 course set menus starting from 199B, 299B and 599B are unbeatable value.

Q Best part of the day?

A Sundown as most customers come along after the sunset.

Q Biggest challenges?

A Thailand as a whole. It’s far from easy this.

Q Biggest spenders?

A Americans, Norwegians and Thais.

Q Sum up your restaurant in 3 words A Quality affordable food.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

The Robin Hood Tavern launched earlier this year and has proved a big success on many fronts especially their food.

Since February, ‘The Hood’ has proved very popular not only with tourists and local expats, but with special events, from darts competitions with famous players to stand-up comedy to full-to-the-rafters sporting events such as the McGregor Mayweather fight with over 300 people in on a Sunday morning.

The menu offers generous portions of British, European & Thai cuisine at prices that will have you coming back regularly. Whether it be bar snacks, the all-day breakfast or anything from the full menu, your taste buds will be delighted.

There is even a kids menu for your little ones!

Daily specials are great value and change all the time so either pop down or check the facebook page for today’s and tomorrow’s exciting culinary creation.

The traditional all-you-can-eat Sunday Carvery at 395 baht is extremely popular and is served from 12pm to 9pm. If you have a smaller appetite you can order a plated roast, regular for 199 baht or 299 baht for a large portion.

To quench your thirst you can choose from a selection of 15 draft imported beers and ciders as well as all of your local favourites. For those that enjoy a glass of wine with their meal, there are some really well priced imported wines to compliment your meal.

Live sports from around the world are shown on 25 big screen TV’s plus Pattaya’s biggest screen so you’ll never miss a sporting event.

You can now pay using Bitcoin with a cashback option also available.

Robin Hood Tavern offers VIP cards to its regular customers, so ask for a membership form on your next visit for big savings every time that you visit.

The more you come, the more you save!

PATTAYA DINING GUIDE

Central Pattaya consists of Beach Road, Second Road, Third Road, Soi Nuakao and all the little sois in between.

Getting to restaurants in this area is very easy as most will be on the baht bus routes. There are literally hundreds of restaurants in this area and everything from Japanese to steaks. The popular restaurants in this area will require a booking so don’t be surprised to get turned away if you haven’t made a reservation. One that springs to mind would be a the Sportsman Pub and Restaurant on a Sunday and the Beefeater Restaurant most evenings.

Jomtien consists of Jomtien beach road, Jomtien second road and all the sois in between.

Most restaurants in this area are along the beach road as Jomtien second road is only been open a small number of years and is still underdeveloped as far as restaurants go. As you would expect along a beach there are plenty of seafood restaurants in particular at the far north end of the beach where you all find some of the best value seafood restaurants anywhere in Thailand. Although they are very popular there isn’t normally a need to book as each restaurants can accommodate hundreds of customers and there are plenty to restaurants to choose from These are the restaurants you should try in this area: 01 Restaurant Oscars
