Hotel/Restaurant Christmas Dinner

[jehricaholic]

I'm thinking ahead about Christmas and am looking for input as to which venues provide an authentic, quality Christmas spread. If buffet, it should have the following Xmas staples (turkey, brussies, roast potato, Ass't carvery meats, cheese & biscuits, quality sweets (cake, pie). Am I expecting too much for Pattaya?

[wobblyjohn]

18 coins on soi buakhow is doing xmas dinner for 295 baht for main meal, starters and sweets are 99 baht each

To the OP, no you are not expecting too much for Pattaya, in fact you can be spoilt for choice if you have a look around.

What I can say is that you'll be pushed to find a half decent Xmas dinner for 295 Baht as mentioned above, most decent Sunday roasts are in this ball park (never mind Xmas dinner).

From personal experience I would recommend you check out Jameson's (Soi AR) and The Queen Vic (Soi 6), both excellent, and been doing it for years! Although you may need to book in advance (proving their popularity).

Don't expect much change out of 1000 Baht though, if you still want all the staples you mention above.

Hope this helps.

Jameson's Christmas Lunch/dinner Baht 545 - Salad & Soups, Carvery and Dessert. All you can eat.

Try Robin's Nestaurant B349 from soup to nuts and B249 on boxing day to use the leftovers.

B249 on boxing day to use the leftovers.

That'll do me.

Punch and Judy pub is the only place for me. Their sunday roasts are superb so I fully expect an outstanding xmas dinner. It aint cheap but it's only once a year for heavens sake. I went to the pig and whistle last year and it was disgraceful.

Will need to book in advance though.

Where is this place? I love a good Sunday roast. I only ever tried going to the one at Shenanegans @ Avenue, but left after seeing the dreadful mess disguised as a buffet and the ignorance is bliss service staff.

In the past, the LEK hotel had real turkeys, yep bone and carcass on the table being carved. Most places have turkey loafs. Luckily, nobody makes very popular Presed Roast loaves yet! I have had wonderful semi-outdoor dining at the LEK. sitting outside on a warm evening during Christmas was kind of nice, especially since I come from cold part of the USA.

What are the hours for x-mas dinner?

[Tolley]

Robins Nest has gone right off imho.

Do yourself a favour and walk around the corner to 18 coins very good value for the money.

[Gers1873]

Dusit very nice == Sheraton not too shabby. Could recommend either.

I find Xmas a complete pain.... i eat out most nights and then all these ass-holes show up and you can't get a seat in a one of your regular restaurants

[Tolley]

18 Coins is a good choice for the bargain hunters.

If you dont mind spending more the big hotels are pretty good like Dusit, Sheraton and The Mantra but you do pay a lot more.

The Hilton is probably doing something as well.

Good price but the menu is too minimalist for my liking. I want to go all out for 1 day of the year.

[Darrel]

That 18 Coins menu comes to 500B for the three courses, and it is only three courses. So not exactly cheap, I think. In fact I think I would rather not bother with it and instead spend just 350B at the Hilton buffet another day.

99B for tomato soup. That doesn't compare well with the dish of the day there for only a few Baht more.

Take a look at the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya. Last year or the year before I strolled around there during Christmas and many restaurants had some type of special menu. Apologies I cannot remember the prices, but they were not obscene so check it out.

Any further clues as to where 18-Coins is specifically located?

"around the corner" was a bit vague . . .

[silentnine]

Jamesons for us this year .. was excellent last year so going again ..

1st sitting is full (midday) however we did not wnat to eat that early anyway ...

so 3pm is great.

the only drawback is they sometimes gets groups of noisy loudmouth falangs with a a bit of bad language ,

the rugby brigade i expect and they seem to forget there can be children around
