Jingthing Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) For those looking for something different, rather quirky as it's very new, I can suggest the Golden Duck Inn restaurant. (U Zlatej Husi) Pratamnak Rd No.: 144 / 48 Moo 10, Pattaya 20260, Thailand It's just to the right of ENJOY ANDRE which many people know. They serve Slovak food (and reportedly some Czech, as if I could tell the difference). Taste of food -- delicious Portions -- medium Price -- very fair, 120 to 150 for the Slovak platters The place has recently opened; currently only a provisional menu but the staff is friendly and helpful. Not for people looking for a canned experience. A very quirky place! (As I like it.) The finished menu may include some special dishes that cost somewhat more than 150 baht. Ironically, DUCK isn't currently on the regular menu (but can be ordered ahead) but it probably will be later ... Like I said, quirky.

cartmanfinn Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Have you tried the Baltic restaurant on Soi Chaiypruek yet? I went to Chaiapruek and tried it today. It's not Baltic but Balkan. Food was ok, but nothing to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food was ok, but nothing to remember. You're right Balkan, although there was only 1 page of Balkan 'specialities' and the owner seemed to be from Frankfurt? And the dishes on their banner outside which sound Balkan were not on the menu? I found the meal to be very good though, a very fresh tasty salad and tender, juicy, tasty meats including a homemade burger. The name of the place is Split.

What foods do they serve? How're the prices? The Balkan dishes are grilled / barbequed meats, sort of like an English mixed grill priced 150~220 Baht. There's European dishes too like lasagne and spaghetti and German dishes and a page of Thai dishes. I really didn't pay much attention to them as I it was a Balkan restuarant I was more interested in the Balkan food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaway Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks for the info PP; gonna have to give 'em a try soon. And, I agree with you completely about what to order.

PattayaParent Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Well as Split is the capital of Dalmatia I was disappointed there was no dalmation on the menu. I'd planned to try JTs Slovak resto tonight but rain stopped play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh brother There is quite a big difference to Czech versus Slovak but then you are probably not much of a traveller and by your posting not even that much of a keyboard warrior. But fear not and keep practicing on that keyboard. Back to the thread, the new restaurant is a great addition to the Pattaya dining scene and I hope the guy does well.

Jingthing Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) I've been to the Czech Republic and know the food. The dish I had tasted very Czech, very similar to German except the dumplings were a little different. Have not been to neighboring Slovakia, so like I said, I didn't know the difference and didn't have a web browser with me when I randomly approached the place. Now looking at some sites on Slovak food, I must say I really didn't notice anything on the menu that matches the more "famous" Slovak dishes, but I'll take their word that they DO have Slovak food there. Next... Edited August 2, 2011 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Look at the STAR on the link representing Enjoy Andre, ZOOMED IN. Both have entrances that have SIGNS that are not inside a soi, on the MAP and in real life. Sending a PM with the phone number.

PattayaParent Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I had the cabbage and pork goulash - deliciouos and filling. The chef is Czechoslovakian I was told by the Thai speaking staff but I wouldn't say it specialised in Slovak or Czech food as it had a variety of dishes (goulash I always thought was Hungarian?) including fish and chips and meatloaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noni99 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I was there recentlly and had a very good meal - thanks to Jingthing for the info. For 150 Baht I got 2 superb tasting pork-filets together with red cabbage in a tasty sauce and sliced cooked potatoes. On the menu it is the 3rd choice (the only dish without english-translation) - something beginning with 'Pecene '. Also the drinklist is very fair priced. I can recommend this small but good (Czech or Slovak ?) restaurant. Next time I want to try the Szegediner-Goulash for 130 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 This place has been shut up for some days now. Not sure what is going on. Their website says Chef wanted but it is also a guesthouse so it's weird that it's shut up. Not a good sign surely. http://pattaya-golden-duck-inn.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their website says Chef wanted but it is also a guesthouse so it's weird that it's shut up. Not a good sign surely. http://pattaya-golde....com/index.html OK, going through high season now, still very closed. What a shame. A reminder if you find little hole in the walls that you like, enjoy them more often while you can, because restaurants are often very fleeting here.
