Easily
my
favorite
place
to
eat
in
Pattaya,
I
make
sure
to
fit
it
in
my
meal
plans
anytime
I
make
a
trip
there.
Amazing
value
for
the
quality
of
food
and
the
service;
it's
way
better
than
it
should
be
for
the
price,
and
it
is
better
than
many
fine
dining
restaurants
in
Bangkok
at
double
the
price
or
more.
I
so
wish
this
place
was
closer
to
Bangkok
so
I
could
go
more
frequently.
As-is
I've
made
the
drive
to
Pattaya
just
to
eat
here
a
few
times!
Some
specific
favorite
dishes:
The
spaghetti
vongole
is
top
3
in
Thailand,
at
any
price.
Not
the
largest
clams,
but
great
flavor,
perfect
cook,
and
very
consistent
over
many
visits.
The
spicy
version
is
a
great
twist
on
it
if
you
eat
spicy.
The
duck
breast
is
another
favorite.
Again,
always
perfect
cook,
well-rendered
skin,
and
accented
by
beautifully
done
sauces
(this
is
a
common
theme
across
many
of
their
dishes,
this
restaurant
has
a
very
French
attention
to
detail
for
each
of
their
sauces
and
purees.)
Someone
in
the
kitchen
is
quite
a
saucier.
Frankly,
I've
eaten
at
Le
Normandie
in
Bangkok
and
had
worse
sauces.
Best
beef
wellington
in
Pattaya,
and
it's
not
close.
Actually
one
of
the
best
in
Thailand
as
a
whole
(top
award
still
goes
to
Artur).
Great
steaks
in
general.
I
don't
recommend
the
pork
tenderloin;
in
a
menu
full
of
standouts,
it
is
quite
plain.
Not
bad,
just
not
special
like
most
of
the
other
dishes.
The
owner,
Blu,
is
a
huge
fan
of
gin.
The
menu
has
a
loving
page
of
different
gins
available
from
all
over
the
world,
and
you
will
discover
something
new
here.
He's
always
happy
to
help
with
a
recommendation.
If
gin
isn't
your
thing,
the
capable
bartender
will
make
you
about
anything
you
want.
Desserts
are
excellent
as
well.
The
apple
tarte
tatin
(served
flaming,
if
you
want
a
dessert
that
comes
with
some
flair)
and
the
chocolate
cake
are
standouts.
Though
my
personal
preference
is
to
wind
down
the
meal
with
a
very
traditional
cheese
platter.
And
a
special
comment
on
the
level
of
service
-
the
back
of
the
menu
has
a
page
dedicated
to
you
(see
attached
photo).
They
have
reading
glasses
if
you
need.
They
have
shawls
for
the
ladies
if
they
get
cold.
They'll
get
you
a
phone
charger
if
you
need
it.
There's
an
adjustable
lamp
on
every
table
to
help
you
read
the
menu
and
see
the
food.
This
is
an
attention
to
detail
and
a
dedication
to
service
that
is
missing
at
most
5-star
hotels
in
Thailand,
much
less
a
small
neighborhood
restaurant
like
this.
Absolute
kudos
for
the
standard
of
service.
I
can't
recommend
it
enough.
This
alone
is
reason
enough
for
me
to
go
to
Pattaya.
It's
a
better
fine
dining
experience
than
much
of
Bangkok
(I've
eaten
at
just
about
every
Michelin
and
every
5-star
hotel
in
town),
and
a
notably
great
value.
