youngkiwi Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Vertigo Restaurant in the Banyan Tree Hotel does great steaks. Very expensive but top notch in all respects - plus the view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekka007 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) I thought Vertigo was rated as the worst food with the best view in BKK? Never been since I read that review sometime ago. Edited January 24, 2008 by dekka007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryHacker Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I thought Vertigo was rated as the worst food with the best view in BKK? Never been since I read that review sometime ago. But it has to be the best place to take a girl out on a date, just as long as she dresses correctly. I have in mind a rather good singer I met the other day!

Domo Arigato Keep your chin up Dekka007, you can call me Harry by the way, anyway, back on topic, avoid The RibRoom, Landmark, has to rate as my worst 'imported' steak.

dekka007 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) The RibRoom, Landmark, Yeah heard that - Gonna avoid that place as well. Anyway the Landmark ain't classy enough for me never go there. I still rate NY Steakhouse as the best even tho some of the people on here object to being served by the so called underpaid waitresses there. However I happen to know that the girls in the NYSH are clearing over 20k on tips a month alone. And they deserve it the girls working there are top notch.

jaiyenyen Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Also for those that want to try, I have never been there as yet, but it has been consistantly recommended for excellent steak at good prices....is a little french restauarant in Patpong, soi 2 I think, the small one between patpong proper and soi Thaniya.Not the ideal location for a nice romantic dinner or for kids, but any other scenario should suit....it is also close to another fine establishment which I also have not tried.. ..SOL I've eaten there, the resturant that is, not the 'other place' I can't remember the name of the place but the food is very good. I had a steak last time and it was excellent, prices are very fair too. The resturant is small but very popular, so I usually walk in, book a table for later and then try and amuse myself for an hour or two before going back.

smileplur Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I will also vote for Neil's. I had a great imported USDA ribeye there not too long ago. It was cooked to perfection. A nice bottle of Shiraz didn't hurt either. My wife had the pork chops which were quite good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would eat there, but there is a dress code and I haven't owned long trousers for years. Saves me a pretty penny I am sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) i have tried almost all suggestions made here so far and sadly none really stand out as being anything spectacular. the best steak i've had in bkk is actually at an italian restaurant on soi lang suan called Calderazzo. ask for the t-bone, it comes beautifully grilled, bone-in but pre-sliced for you in a way that makes the huge steak fan out across the dinner plate. very impressive and very tasty with a nice touch of rosemary and pecorino. but if it is really top shelf unadulterated USDA prime aged beef you are after, the best you can do is fly 2 hours over to the Singapore branch of Morton's of Chicago, located at the Oriental Hotel, they have airflown steaks direct from the Chicago meat locker. not cheap, but good. if you are really crazy about steaks like me, make a pilgrimage to Peter Luger's or Smith and Wollenski's in New York, its definitely a religious experience. Melbourne is closer than New York and Vlados has won several international magazine best steak in the world awards. Mind you, it's about the only thing you'd go to Melbourne for.

Ulysses G. Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I heard that Melbourne has great pizzas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Most Australian cities have a large Italian community that makes great pizzas. The only difference in Melbourne is the other customers tend to shoot at each other while your eating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro1 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 This may be hard to believe but the best value steakhouse is actually a night club with 3 Filipino singers and a host of B/gs. Its the check in just up from soi 3 On Sukhumvit BKK. Yes its almost seedy but their meat is great and very tender(400bht) and an excellent wine selection. No flaming please its not the marriott but then again your not paying 2000bht either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Is that the "Check In"? I'll have a look next time I'm in town. For the steaks of course. When you say "up" from Soi 3 is that back towards Soi 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro1 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Yep its in between soi3 and 5 ,Its a fun place and they specialise in steak only. I walked past it for years thinking it was just another brothel until a mate took me in for a steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked past it for years thinking it was just another brothel until a mate took me in for a steak. Yeah I used to like the Check Inn until I took my missus there and they served us an old boot. Typical. I am sure that was just a one off though. Surprised nobody mentioned Tenderloins on soi 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I suppose it would be easier to take the Mrs than try to convince her you were only there for a steak when word gets back to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pampal Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 the debate about the best steak is too subjective, so there is no winner for best, it all comes down to what tastes good to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madjbs Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) It's on a soi off Pradiphat road, can't remember the number. There is a map on the website http://www.timbacuisine.com Edited July 28, 2008 by madjbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a map on the website http://www.timbacuisine.com Oh, thanks, that looks great. Kind of an unusual location choice for a semi-upscale steakhouse. If they are as good as they look, they certainly deserve our support (licking lips). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg1953 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I can recommend Cherries restaurant in Pattaya. It is on 3rd rd...accross from Excite Disco. They serve a great filet, that includes a really nice salad bar for 260 baht. It is a high class restaurant as the owner worked at Brunos here for 10 yrs. I think you can pay more for something a bit better...but I am convinced this is a great meal for the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
