My in-laws are visiting us soon and my father in law like good food in a posh restaurant (he is paying so money no object) which restaurants in Pattaya will impress him?

google matahari restaurant pattaya

I used to think the Sunday Brunch at Casa Pascal, at about 950 baht per person, was the bee's knees until I heard about the Seafood Buffet at Royal Cliff... 1,499 baht per person!! Might look into Mata Hari, too... Good luck!

MANTRA MANTRA MANTRA MANTRA MANTRA MANTRA MANTRA MANTRA!

As you've probably guessed I love the place.

My recommendation is the Australian grain fed fillet steak with buttered vegetables and sautéed potatoes.

Don't ask the price, hehe.

Regards

my fav's are;

Cafe des Ami

Gian's

New Cafe

Mantra

Cherry restaurant on third road across from Xzyte is hard to beat at any price. It's is reasonable priced for the excellent food is has.

Cafe Uno on Soi Koa Noi has great food, but has recently been sold, I'm not sure if they have kept the same menu.

Depends what time of day you are talking about, start with the breakfast buffet at the Marriot!!

We always enjoy dinner at Mata Hari when we visit Pattaya. The dining room is elegant (art nouveau/Thai); the food is good, and the service is fine. Louis, the owner takes care of the front while his wife, the chef takes care of the back. The prices are reasonable compared to Bangkok or Hua Hin. Make sure to make a reservation--easy parking too.

Cafe des amis, Manhattens,Bruno's, Casa Pascal or Mata Hari.

All the above are good value IMO.

If Steaks etc are your thing Manhattens is top notch otherwise Cherries is very good but if your not worried about paying a bit more then try Bruno's, Casa

Pascal or Mata Hari.

My personal favourite is Cafe des Amis.

All the above are good value IMO.

For something different, Zykos on the beach side of the festival center Mall. Zykos is an original brazilian buffet, with all kinds of imported meats, and probably the best Salad bar in Pattaya. Another good restaurant is the food loft on the third floor of the same mall.

same here, the ambience is second to none, foods fantastic (and im in the trade). have a few drinks at the bar to get you started

we usually spend around 3400-4000 a head when we go, but we over do it with the drinks as well.

If money no object - I would say Manhattens

If value matters - Mata Hara and Cafe des Amis are almost as good but significantly cheaper

sound great, thanks everyone. I was thinking about an evening meal (or two) but breakfast at the Marriott is an interesting idea!

Mantra... especially for the Sunday brunch.

Pan Pan in Jomtien for Italian.

Manhattans for steak.

Manhattons

Brunos

Any of the restaurants at the Royal Cliff especially if you want 1st class service.

H&H

you cant beat the breakfast at CRAZY DAVES.Ambience amazing,even the cloths on the table are reasonably clean.

Saturday night Buffet at the Dusit Thani is well worth a try!

I meant the one in Pattaya, not the one in Bangkok as you may have to bob and weave a bit to get to the Seafood.

You can't beat Kiss food.....

If money is no issue: Bruno's

You can't beat Kiss food.....

Tastes certainly vary. I can't eat at Kiss.

The Scarlet Restaurant at Zign Hotel (Soi 12, Naklua) has an evening seafood buffet for 850.

For anyone who enjoys pigging out on seafood in 5 star style, it's definitely worth a go and you'll be escaping the seedy Pattaya atmosphere while you're at it.

Kiss is mediocre, uninspired Thai food. For the low price, you can do better in Pattaya. OK, I haven't tried their so called farang food, I am sure not missing anything.

Kiss is mediocre, uninspired Thai food.

So where do we go for inspired Thai food?

If you want to impress your Father-in-Law... offer to pay the bill yourself

royal cliff sound good anyone tried it? My son and his g/f arrive from oz today and staying pattaya. is this dinner ?

Make sure to make a reservation--easy parking too.

Not anymore...the road widening has taken away most of their parking space

You can't beat Kiss food.....

If money is no issue: Bruno's

Brunos is crap...Mata Hari and Gian's are very good. If price is no object, then Mantra or Rossini's at Royal Cliff Resort.

La Luna Italian restaurant , in North Pattaya on Third road, just one hundred meter, before traffic light - junction with North Pattaya road, right under "Sugar Home"

I thought commercial advertisements were not allowed

I thought commercial advertisements were not allowed

It's not!!

I would take them out to Preecha Seafood...it is a great thai seafod restaurant that has oysters and lobsters and many other great things....highly recommended...you will find mostly hiso bangkok thais there and few falang...go early about 6:30 and catch the sunset and dinner....it is on the water in Ban Amphur..about 10-15 minutes outside central pattaya
