prk888 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Opened yesterday in Soi 89. Going south on Suk Soi 89 is 400m on left (darkside) past Makro. Bistro is about 300m over railway line on the right. Last night i tried excellent home made rough pate (2 portions !) and home made individual quiche Lorraine. Other basic french dishes looked good. My wife said the thai food was very tasty. Prices very reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsfangr Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Actually, it's Belgian, not French. The name is Aroi. The owner is a very friendly host. On the weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) they have NZ mussels, a huge bowl, wonderfully prepared. They have a daily special which is always a good deal; and, as the OP noted, the prices are very reasonable. Also nice selection of desserts, mostly home made, plus Ete ice cream, if you're so inclined. There's also a fairly large selection of very good Belgian beers. Those, however, are expensive, due to the import taxes. There are options for the usual less expensive beers, as well; and a full bar of wines and liquors. The place is very large, and very clean, with air con. There's a large outdoor area, as well, which I think they use for occasional BBQ events. Also a pool table inside. Covered (awning) parking for several cars directly across the street. Overall, while a bit remote, it's one of the nicest places around, IMO.

Pattaya Pat Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Why are you saying that it opened yesterday when it has been open for a long time? and as pointed out it's Belgium not French. There are some odd people on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Why are you saying that it opened yesterday when it has been open for a long time? and as pointed out it's Belgium not French. There are some odd people on here. It is not Aroi. As you say that one has been open a long time. There is a new one that I also noticed yesterday for the first time on the same side and between Aroi and Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuff said Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) . There really ARE some odd people on here. Immediate, almost instantaneous, contradiction to even the mildest of revelations is their specialty. So we still don't know if there is a new French restaurant or not cuz the "I am so much better informed than the OP who was there last night is" crowd won't shut up.

Pattaya Pat Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 for the 2 'pat' posters above the name is Bistro 89 888 - Let me apologise, in future I won't take another post too literally, although I must admit I did also think that you was talking about Airo or whatever it's called. I might give this a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 By my calculation it must be somewhere near here: http://goo.gl/maps/hjTJe That Google maps photo is two years old so there are probably four high-rise condos and fifteen 7/11s there now.

jaapfries Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Can anyone give me google map coordinates for this location , thanks. No need, mate; just drive South on the mighty Sukhumvit Road (towards Satahip) and after you pass Theprasit Road junction, simply keep going, until you pass the Greenway Golf Range; slow right down and turn left (viz. into Soi 89) just before the 7/11 store. Then it's over the Rail-Road crossing and a further 500 meters and you will see this new place on your Left. I just live around the corner there and I will give this place a try soon.

KittenKong Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 .... home made sounds so much better than made in a restaurant kitchen. That's why restaurants use the term. In fact anything made in a restaurant's kitchen can be called home-made. It's the things that are bought in (as frozen prepared dishes or vacuum-packed prepared dishes or even freshly prepared dishes) that cant be called home-made.
