B650, last year was top notch as one expects from Toni and his crew. john I had Christmas lunch here a couple of years ago and it was a terrible experience. An excessively long wait (1 hour+) for very average food (dry, cold turkey) and vegetables served lukewarm. Endless excuses regarding lack of serving staff and inexperienced kitchen staff I think the price was B550/600 add in the price of a couple of drinks and it was more than B1000 each. I don't really understand why it's double the price of a Sunday lunch (except for the blatant profiteering, like many other restaurants on this day). Ho, ho ho...

All of the 4-5 star hotels have both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day offerings with the Eve being the more formal of the two. What's your budget? 137 Pillars House has a Gala dinner on 24th for 4,900baht++ and Dukes by the river have buffet 25th for 1,500+ so difficult to suggest without knowing what you fancy spending.

What a concept. 4 hours ago, Mahseer said: What's your budget? I guess 500 to 2000 B, I'm not a difficult diner. I’m looking for low key. I’m here alone. The G Friend is at her sisters. Usually I wouldn’t bother. That said. I have reason to celebrate, have a good meal. I am back in CM after a decade in Nakhon Nowhere, have my R extension, condo I like, and going to be traveling a lot in 2019. Looking for a nice place to have a meal, and be thankful.

jonwilly Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Does anyone know if The Pub will be offering Christmas Dinner. I know a couple of years back when the price of Turkeys went sky high they cancelled for that year. Understand that this year turkeys are back to about B3,000 Per bird. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Almost always uniformly abysmal and overpriced just go to wine connection or sizzler and dream of years gone by if that don't work vigorously rub your groin and imagine you've pulled a cracker ????

beau thai Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 a shout out for My Kitchen, bistro style in Saraphi, run by French Bruno. Tasty food and amazing value. Check out their facebook for Christmas Menu- at such low prices I suspect it will book out soon as only a small place. No connection, just a very satisfied customer of their daily specials @ 100baht. Generous portions and do take out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LomSak27 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Turns out the Holiday Inn's menu is significantly different than what Chang Puak Magazine listed. I have never been there before but as it is somewhat nearby, I stopped in yesterday. On the positive side, there were people, like tourists and things, bustling and in these times, let us be thankful. The River Terrace (their 'premier' restaurant) does have outside seating with a nice view over the river. Inside yes getting closer to industrial packing but, ... .
