Crow Boy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 In Chiang Mai we have fixations about Food (don't even start discussing burgers up there). In Pattaya we seem to have different priorities but as a recent arrival here I am interested in where you like to eat and why. Where are the good pies to be found? Who does the best breakfast in town? Where can I get a good steak, cooked medium rare and not burned to a crisp? Great seafood buffet, top Indian, late night places for noodles. Anyone know where I can get Khao Soi Gai down here? But first some basic rules: 1) the opinions expressed are personal - what is a great Indian for one may be so so for another. Make allowance for differences in taste and experience 2) I will not allow blatant advertising or spamming by or for business owners. 3) The rules of Thai Visa re acceptable behaviour apply as always. You all know them and if you are unsure they can be found here bon appetite CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg_2003 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Neeroys does some lovely Pies, I have Meat & Potato pie almost every time I go there.. Also there is a good, cheap Indian on Soi Bua Khao in between Club Blue and Sawasdee Hotel but on the opposite side. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is delicious.. 120-130 baht per curry, 40 baht for yellow rice (approx). They also deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow Boy Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Dao Cafe...............Blue Cheese Steaks, great pizza I have had the pizza at Dao - agree it is good. Also for a weekend brunch the hotdog in a bun with grilled cheese is nice. Not tried the blue cheese steak but sounds interesting. thanks CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poshthai Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Maybe the traditional pie and mash would be done at crazy daves.He seems to make everything simple and cheap.Only had the 65baht breakfast and its good value for money,not the best but well good enough.

Look for the big yellow signs.. I dont know about the currys, I don't even read the menu, just order my usual chicken tikka masala with Nan bread and Popadoms ...

Funny thing for me is I know soi by number which is the same as in other parts but then people say "soi Diana" or "soi whatever" and I have to think where the heck is that?

britmaveric Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Bay Cafe on Beach Rd near corner of 13/4 (Pattayaland) - open 24/7, has great breakfasts!!! Edited August 19, 2008 by britmaveric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) For Thai food, cooked while you wait: The corner convenience store on Soi Naklua 16/Soi Naklua 14 For a wide ranged of tasty but cheap food in Central Pattaya: Soi Yodsak/Beach Road: The Clay Oven. In Jomtien, Yorkies is consistently good for sausage, mash and onions but avoid their sandwiches. Crazy Daves would not be on my list. It is hit-or-miss and I have had one too many 'miss'. The Indian on Soi Buakhaew mentioned above is good; more or less opposite Siam Sawasdee, however on the same side as the Indian is a Thai eating hole that is superb just down from Oasis Go-Go. The Sportsman on Soi 13 is good for food at any time of day: Recommended! In Jomtien, on Soi Welcome 'My Place' offers good food at peak meal times and at the weekend. Simon's Fish & Chips? You are having a laugh. I ate there once and had heartburn, dyspepsia, water-brash and gastritis for 14 days. Avoid!

Meg_2003 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'd also pass on Crazy Daves! I don't know where you are from, but Seasider (also on Soi Chaiyapoon) does some great english meals (Lamb and mint sauce, Roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding, ect) In case you don't know soi Chaiyapoon, Driving from Pattaya Klang to Pattaya Tai, it is the soi just after Xzyte (NOT the soi directly down the side of Xzyte) . Not sure of the soi number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
