I am looking for really good restaurants with any style of food in the Sattahip/Pattaya area, but it must be at least as good as when we cook ourselves (e.g. I make Gnocchi or Ravioli myself). Price is not an issue if there is value. It can be fine dining or just very good cooking.

Your help is highly appreciated and please advise if there is an existing relevant thread or internet source (apart from Google recommendations which I have very mixed experiences with).

Scroll through this thread:

OP, as above, there are a couple of ongoing restaurant/food threads and some social media groups you can join. But the main issue is, a big percentage of restaurants are shut and may never reopen. Even during non-pandemic times there is a very transient nature to restaurants, They can trade for a few years then literally shut down overnight, change hands, change their menu etc.

You may come up with a current list of restaurants but a month from now it will be out of date.

All the very best food that Pattaya has to offer is already listed in:

So best we keep all this in one place and close this new topic which duplicates it.
