    I have been here for the weekly special which included soup or salad, main course and coffee or tea. I chose the Norwegian salmon salad and grilled salmon with mashed potatoes as main. 275 Baht and 50 Baht extra for a softdrink. Delicious food and very good value for the money. I will be back.

    I've wanted to try this restaurant after hearing it recommended by several expats, and had the chance to try it for the first time last night - they just re-opened after the most recent required closure due to covid restrictions. I tried the Pepper Steak and it was delicious. I ordered the steak medium rare, and it was perfectly cooked. Not overdone as is often the case. Nice char on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The pepper sauce was served on the side, another nice touch. The house red wine was a nice accompaniment, and a dry Bombay gin martini finished things off. Overall, a very nice atmosphere and an excellent meal. Staff were friendly and professional. I'll definitely be back. Cheers!

    We just keep coming back all the time. One of the best in Jomtien. If you order a medium rear then it will also be etc ... The herring plate for starters is really great tasting.

    Good budget food at a fair price. Had their lunch special, which is 2 courses + tea/coffee for 300 baht. Started with chicken Caesar salad (other option was tomato soup), followed by beef Stroganoff + mash (or grilled chicken + chips) small portions but tasty. Above all, a slightly more relaxed vibe than other cheap eateries nearby

    Nice little BBQ buffet spread, not a massive selection, but every item is excellent quality and superb value at just 245thb. Especially liked the potatoes gratin, pasta salad and BBQ pork loin. Highly recommend it and will definitely be back again.

  • 5/5 Tim G. 8 months ago on Google
    Arguably the nicest beach view bar in north Jomtien Beach. Professional staff that remember your name. If business is slow, staff will turn down the music volume when I'm there so I can hear my friends' conversation better. 109 baht Heiniken or Tiger draft pints during lunchtime. The food is very tasty but moderately expensive. There aren't many alternatives to Akvavit in Jomtien, and I've tried to explore replacement venues. Well done on all aspects.

  • 1/5 Charles C. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered two meals for takeout the smoked Texas spareribs and the Swedish meatballs. Both were unpleasant. The ribs are blatantly mislabeled. They are not smoked and they are not barbecued. They are baked and covered in barbecue sauce. They are chewy and not flavorful. I threw them out. The Swedish meatballs came without gravy and were dry and bland. They were quite unlike any good meatballs I've every had. I would not eat here again.

    Ligger på Jomtien Beach Road. Rikholdig meny på både drikke og mat. Favoritten er Plankestek. Importert indrefilet som var perfekt stekt og mør som en indrefilet skal være. Meget god service og kan trygt anbefales. This is my favourite restaurant on jomtien, the menu is very good, and my top dishes is Plank steak and pepper steak. The steaks are so tender and done always the way you want. I give it 6 out of 6 on my dice. The wine menu is good. Also they have sea food and thai food on the menu. Try the salmon plank steak...6 out of 6. Home made cream caramel for dessert yess. The Staff working there have be working there for several years and do top service. 6 out of 6. So my dear swedish boss, the Boncafe cappucino ...2 out of 6, the day you can serve me a real italian cappucino and espresso i give you 6 out of 6 . So far 5 out of 6.

    This has been my "go-to" food and drink venue in Jomtien for several years. The food is above par in choice and quality. There is beach view seating and an air-conditioned section. The crowd is expat with their Thai girlfriends. I've had some great conversations here with the congenial patrons. Enjoy the beautiful sunset accompanied by excellent service.

  • 1/5 Coop C. 3 years ago on Google
    I cannot remember the last time I had such a terrible meal. BBQ Buffet with no bbq and a tiny offering of food. Mixed green salad was blah. I used the potato salad which was all dressing and no potatoes for salad dressing. There were 2 sauces with no purpose, since nothing to put them on. Au gratin potatoes and a chicken and pork dish that had the same sauce. Pork was harder than granite and chicken was empty and took 40 mins to refill. Dreadful! No dessert offerings as well.

    Good location on jomtien beach. Clean and nice place. I liked the upper terrace. Staff was friendly. Food quality is over average but a little bit overpriced for the area. Anyway , I enjoyed the Akvavit burger. Let’s a try !

  • 4/5 Karen M. 5 months ago on Google
    We went for the buffet they have on Sat & Sun. The food was really nice, especially the meatballs in a creamy gravy & the chicken sticks with peanut sauce. There are plenty of options available including ribs. It's such a pity I fill up so fast or I would have more. The buffet is also in aircon, but there is also an outside area overlooking Jomtien beach.

    If you love a quality pie this is the place to be. Something on the menu for everyone. I had the Cottage Pie excellent. Highly recommended.

  • 1/5 Richard H. 1 year ago on Google
    My (thai) wife went to Jomtien for the day we went for a massage then found this nice looking bar for a few drinks around 1pm before getting a meal. I drank pints of Heineken my wife gin and tonic. After a few drinks we both felt very strange, could not walk properly and had to go back to the hotel. We had obviously been drugged. I have had it on my own on a previous trip , same feelinhg. At this bar we both sat at the stools at the road side , no one can pass and only one of us left to go to toilet so unfortunately must be staff. Not good. Ruined our day 😖🤮🤢

  • 5/5 Don N. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our favorite bar/restaurant in the Jontiem/Pattaya area (Beefeaters is number two). We have eaten here many times and will be going again tomorrow night. Great happy hour, great bar location, great food. Better than most of our favorite hometown restaurants in Las Vegas.

  • 4/5 Michael G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for happy hour drink. Unfortunately they should try cook steak on charcoal, or at least get the outer sear correct however they cook it. Meat was reasonable quality, but was not happy with the cook of steak.

  • 4/5 Alice M. 5 years ago on Google
    Fresh food cooked to order as an English family with a young child we didn't get to adventurous with our food but I enjoyed eating out at inexpensive authentic places, as this was. Sold mainly Thai food with a little western food such as chips and chicken. I had some beautiful fried king prawns here.

  • 3/5 Massimo P. 4 years ago on Google
    Food ok but very limited choices. For 335, I would expect drinks included, some dessert and coffee. But no, no drinks, no dessert, no coffee. Final surprise: 60 baht for a soda. I am sorry, you will not see me again. That's a bar beer price. There are way better places in Pattaya for that amount of money - I can almost eat sushi with drinks for 395!

Be prepared for horrible service and extremely long waiting times. Waiters with bad attitudes and wholly unprofessional behaviour. Avoid like the plagu...
