I forgot to add that also included on the platter is a small dressed salad.

 

There is a much fancier restaurant on Naklua road not far north of Dolphin that features European grilled chicken. I haven't tried but based on the pictures it appears to be a more modern presentation. I think it comes with frittes. Anyone tried the chicken there that cares to comment?

 

It's La Ferme.

Part of Woodlands Hotel; guests take breakfast there. The menu for La Ferme seems quite imaginative and is relatively expensive. I am not yet tempted to give it a try.

Great. Back to the restaurant information and away from the pissing contest.

[hackjam]

Great, indeed.

Not sure if this place has been mentioned before:

 

Turkish Kebab on the corner on South Pattaya Road & 2nd Road, well almost on the corner, walk app 5-10 meters down South P Road and you are there.

 

Easily the best kebab I ever had in Pattaya and the mixed meat one for 140 baht is a steal considered how big it is. Had one for lunch twice now and I enjoyed them each time. 

 

Very small place, perhaps 5 tables inside, staff only Turkish guys, no Thais the 2 times I was there.

 

Lots of Turkish customers on each visit, which is a good sign.

 

Highly recommended.

I find the chicken kebab in there a bit hit and miss. Last time there was next to no chicken in there. But the mixed kebab is well nice.

I want to give a great review to OSCAR restaurant in Jomtien, its run by a Swedish chef and the food is excellent. And they have some amazing deals . Every day a 3 course set menu for 199 baht only.
Today as starter I choose carrot soup, very tasty, main course pork loin carribean style with fried potatos. And ice cream for dessert.

All this for 199 baht, they change the menu weekly. If you just want traditional Swedish meatballs they are probably the best in Pattaya. Homemade of course.

I give them 9 out of 10 stars, the presentation, staff, everything was perfect.
Location is from beach rd , the second soi before Chaiyapruek.

^ Thanks for the info, would have paid a visit tonight if I hadn't already defrosted some burgers.

Been there a few times. meant to be a French Bistro type resto. Menu looks a bit fast food like. Shiny laminated with pictures. But it's not bad and they have draught and bottled Belgium beer. If price isn't too much of an issue it's fine.

Local to my house with plenty of parking so convenient if can't decide where to eat and hungry.

Another place that features European rotisserie chicken is the chain called the Kitchen. But I haven't tried it. They are on eatigo though so you can get a discount. Ate there once to try their lamb shank. Not impressed.

But BIRDS seems to be the best:

Absolutely not. This thread is for PATTAYA area restaurants only. 

 

The Kitchen PATTAYA also has locations in Samui and Phuket. Not Bangkok. 

 

As you can see from their facebook page, they do indeed feature their CHICKEN. I think I might get around to try it. I recall they offer a choice of "ethnic" flavorings with the chicken.

On the western chicken theme, another option is the American BBQ smoked chicken at Smokin' Joes, Soi Lengkee. The portion sold as "half" chicken though is on the quite small side. You get a choice of side American BBQ sauces. I think it's good but of course most people go there for the pork ribs.

I tried Oscar restaurant in Jomtien and I will be back. Very good price quality ratio with the 199thb menu.  I have also been some day ago to PizzaArt on tappraya road. The owner that make the pizzas is from Naples. I think that is the best pizza around at the moment. Also I was in central festival a few day ago and decided to tray yayoi. I mean is not incredibile but  they have many different set menu (Japanese food) for less that 200 thb that tick all the box for a good lunch in my opinion

Three European restaurants outside Tuc Com. All on the same street -offering plate de jour. I tried the French one.  Cant remember name but good food, wine, service and value.

I'm guessing La Petite Planete.

Deli Diner (Brit owned, I think) is down there and an Italian place whose name I forget (they do a great pannacotta).

Very good; but expensive; breakfasts can be had over the other side of Tukcom at Bon Cafe.

[irishken]

Can anyone recommend some nice Farang food down either side of Soi 4(beach road or second road around central marina shopping center).

The kids can only eat so much pork and rice and noodle soup.

 

Cheers.

it's a shop house, I'd say okay to bring guests, but it's not the Ritz really. Added bonus for you :the menu is in German.

Yes that's it.

In Walking Street the Taste of Thailand next to the IBar serves up western and Thai food. They do a 99baht deal. A bottle of beer and rice and curry. The other Thai food such as Laab moo is good.

I see on this page that we already are 2 to think that this place does not deserve any attention...

Let's wait for other people who will go there with their teerak and will also tell how stupid it is to sell chicken without somtam in Thailand ! Yes, as you said, we are in Thailand, and it is a fact not only when it's at your own benefit.

 

 

 

 

Have you advised KFC how stupid they are? ?

They do not sell grilled chicken, they sell crap fried chicken, it's even written in their name, in case you missed it <3

Looking at their website this does seem to be an operation geared to image rather than content. They even say so themselves: "Its success with more branch expansion has turned Greyhound from a fashion label into a cutting edge lifestyle brand in Bangkok." They are also heavily into franchising, which doesn't really inspire me as to the food quality.

But I do think that they have chosen their location well as that would be exactly the sort of place that moneyed Thais visiting the Kaan show would want to eat at.

I would be more inclined to eat in an individually owned and operated restaurant though. The only chain I really like is Sizzler (whose prices are net, not ++).

I ate at the Greyhound restaurant last year in Bangkok.  It was really good, a bit pricey.  Nice service, good selection, decent value.  Can't wait to try the one here!

It's very good as well.  Best night to go is Monday when it's not so crowded as the theater is dark.
