Comfort by Harlan – Is this really a restaurant in Pattaya?

By Dan Cheeseman

 

 

If you like dining out then Pattaya is a haven, you have every type of cuisine and by and large it will not break the bank for you. You have a few fine dining choices and hundreds of mainstream eateries under that. For me I can never tire of eating out most evenings, I love it.

 

But then what happened next took me by surprise. A new restaurant sprung up out of no where in Cosy Beach and it proved to be something that Pattaya has never seen before.

He's quite a character. 

Heard he had a Michelin star. Anyone eaten at his place?

me...often...was there for the soft opening..go to the Sunday tasting lunches, I reviewsed the place on the TV restaurant hit and run thread weeks ago. AFAIAK it is excellent and far better than Bruno's or Gina's or Aquapazza at al. I frequently don't order off the menu just let Harlan decide.

Never mind I looked.  Cheap.  He should be mobbed.

I passed him on his big bike, apparantly he loves speeding his big bike , almost hit me.

But I'm sure the food is good. Not cheap, not expensive , dishes from 300 and up.

Been there, great cheesburger(huge), price is fair for what you get, super friendly staff but I won't return because the restaurant was too noisy. Price was 450 baht with a soft drink if I recall.

I'd go crazy with you as a customer.  I'm sure Harlan will be overjoyed to lose your business.  I used to go to a restaurant in downtown Chicago.  Best seafood restaurant in town.  Terrible service.  Worse that bad absolutely offensive. The place was noisy and dirty and you could see the cooks smoking and the dishwasher in a torn undershirt scraping off the plates.  Place was jammed from open to close.  No sign above the door.  No advertising.  Just the best seafood at the best prices in the city of Chicago.
