Jai Dee Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It's the missus' birthday this Friday, and I'd like to take her somewhere special for dinner. You know... a romantic dinner for two... top notch service and food... extensive wine list... preferably with a view (but not of garish neon signs)... Any suggestions?

Buckwheat Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Tarzan Hut in Jomtien is pretty nice. You can sit inside or over the water. Happy birthday to the missus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomF Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Bruno's, on the left coming down the hill just before Jomtien. Had my first meal there a couple of weeks ago and was impressed. Not sure if it's okay to post links here so just Google Bruno's Pattaya. :-) Edited September 19, 2006 by TomF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? I would suggest Bruno`s.....excellent food, excellent service, great wine list, good ambiance and the last time me and the missus were there they put on a courtesy limmo for us after the meal. You will definitely have a special experience at Bruno`s after all it is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourbaht Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Try Mantra North end of beach Rd in the Amari complex, great menu (food from 4 continents) and the place alone will impress her it has 30' ceilings and each table has its own waiter / waitress so service is excellent.

thaigerd Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Bruno's! Make a reservation and mention it's your wife's bithday. These kind of restaurants give always a little birthday cake with candles as a surprise for dessert. Happy Birthday to ur wife! Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Mouse Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've never tried it but my mate had a very romantic dinner at the Mantra Restaurant. He said that the food and the service were spot on. You should also consider booking a luxury room there for the night and indulging yourselves with a sumptuous breakfast the next day. I'll make it easy for you, click here and book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naka Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) Casa Pascal or Bruno's. Both impress, neither inexpensive though All in one at Casa is ok, but only if you and wife can hold/enjoy your liquor. If not go for the set menu without the unlimited drinks. Naka.

Jai Dee Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks for all the suggestions folks... keep 'em coming. Brunos has always been one of our favourites, and we've dined at all the Royal Cliff restaurants before... but I was looking for something different. The Mantra at Amari or Casa Pascal both sound promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? Mantra at the top of Beach Road has had rave reviews, or try Casa Pascal in 2nd Rd opp Marriott next to Ruen Thai if money no object.

The second time a Manager at the Dusit rang to arrange our table at Casa Pascal and it was agreed by the restaurant to give us a discount of 10% off the price if we went for the 2400++baht menu including unlimited beverages . So it`s only 10% but hey it all helps. Well Pascal was angry and refused to honour the 10% discount and even rang the manager at the Dusit who confirmed the agreed discount with his staff. They also tried to serve us a cheaper brandy and apologised when I spotted it, also on this occasion the food was not as good as the first time we ate there. So I told Pascal that the 10% meant more to him than me and that I couldn`t believe how he could embarass himself like that in the restaurant in front of other customers. I paid in full and told him that we would never be back. So that`s my two penneth on Casa Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattayatony Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 but I was looking for something different. Meat Pies at Simple Simons in Soi 5 Jomtien are OK Cobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) JD I can give you somewhere different. It is called The Swiss Sabai Lakeside Lodge and it is about 4kms inland on Sukhumvit, just past the Jomtien Tesco. The lodge, and in particular, the restaurant, is nestled right out on a large lake with spectacular views. The ambience is incredible. There was a lovely breeze in the middle of the a hot humid day. Now I went there in the afternoon to deliver a charity collection box, and was knocked out by the look of the place, and I met the owner. I didn't try the food, but I have been told that it is very good, by an expat women's group who had Sunday lunch there. The restaurant has international cuisine, with"an extensive selection of wines and digestifs" I have a small brochure with the map and phone number if you're interested. I know I will be taking my family there when they come in December. Edited September 20, 2006 by Mobi D'Ark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) So that`s my two penneth on Casa Pascal Well I won't go into details, but I too had a run in with Monsieur Pascal, and certainly won't be going back there. We were a foursome and I have the feeling that they might just have been looking down on the Thai wives who accompanied us. Some bad service and an arrogant attitude might sum it up.

Jai Dee Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 It is called The Swiss Sabai Lakeside Lodge... Is it air conditioned? The missus will be wanting to look her best, and she's not too keen on sweating (or do women call it "glowing"?) in an outdoor restaurant...
