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.

Have you tried the Baltic restaurant on Soi Chaiypruek yet?

So what did you eat, and what's on the menu?

I went to Chaiapruek and tried it today. It's not Baltic but Balkan. 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.

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.

Thanks for the info PP; gonna have to give 'em a try soon. And, I agree with you completely about what to order. The old saying comes to mind, "When in Balk... do as the Balkans."

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.

Thanks for the info to Jingthing, and for the amusing hijack to most other posters in the thread.

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.

Unnecessary flame

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...

I tried to go to this resto tonight but couldn't find it.

Any better directions than next to Enjoy Andre which I don't know?

Aroy mark

Enjoy Andre is near Thappraya Soi 6. Slovak place directly to the right of it.

Ah so it's inside the soi, that's why I didn't see it although I was in the right area.

Might try it tonight.

No, it is NOT inside the soi.

The link you posted shows Enjoy Andre is inside Soi 6 and the properties adjacent on either side are inside Soi 6 also.

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.

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

Happy you enjoyed it. I think the OWNER is Slovak.

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.

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.

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.

Do you get paid for this?
