Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

July 18, 2018 by David Herd

Renovated May 2018

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya is certainly one of my favourite restaurants. TripAdvisor rating is #22 of 1,025 Restaurants in Pattaya, however in my opinion it is in the top 10.

Perhaps a salad to start with.

Lots of choices at Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya.

The photo does not do it justice.

The Oxtail soup is fantastic, I often drop in and have it for lunch, followed by a waffle of course. 🙂

Of course I sometime have the pancake instead of the waffle. 🙂

They are both delicious.

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

Dining with my friend Hamish & my brother Warren in May 2018 just after the renovation was completed.

The Tuesday night special.

Without a doubt they serve the best lamb shank in Pattaya, perhaps even the northern hemisphere.

Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya

The new decor is attractive & modern. This was at 6.30 pm & I was the only customer. 🙂

In case you were wondering, here’s Patrick.

He used to be a parachuter, now he is a biker. 🙂

Early May 2018 they gutted the restaurant.

The finished product is excellent.

Here we are at the old restaurant.

I’m with Greg Clee & Hamish Elton celebrating Hamish’s birthday in 2015. Notice the old fashioned decor?

Can you believe the size of this Tomahawk? 🙂

A whopping 1.5 kilo, I think Hamish could handle it. 🙂

A terrific dinner with friends.

August 31st 2018, 3 Aussies, a Belgium & a Yankee.

Good food & nice people.

From the left we have Dan Escamilla, Hamish Elton, David Herd, Sally Schmidt & Wayne Schmidt.

Another Tuesday night dinner

Half the table ordered the lamb shank. 🙂 From the right we have David Rose, Brendan Tate, Jessica, Hamish Elton, David Herd, Dan Escamilla & last but not least Possum. 🙂

That is a great looking slab of beef.

You would need a huge appetite to get through that. 🙂

Irish stew was exceptional on October 21 2020

Great value at B250 or $8 USD.

Location

Opposite Mike shopping mall in an arcade opposite the Beefeater.

One final look at the Tuesday special.

Lamb shank (French style) & potato au gratin. I only have one criticism of this fine restaurant, the house wine is far too expensive. Everything else is excellent, many thanks for visiting my Patrick’s Belgian Steakhouse Pattaya photo blog.

July 31 st 2020

Belgian waffles & red wine.

Patrick discovers El Mercado

Here is what Patrick had to say about El Mercado; “Didn’t know where to eat tonight in Bangkok so I asked my good friend David Herd who is an expert in Bangkok restaurants. He suggested El Mercado. Wow, what a surprise. Never saw anything like that in Thailand. All those choices of cheeses, cold cuts, seafood and fish. Many wines as well, but a bit on the expensive side. I enjoyed a mixed platter with cheeses and cold cuts, my wife went for the oysters and seafood dish. All in all a success and very enjoyable. Book in advance, packed all the time. Worth a visit when in Bangkok.”

Chamiko Japanese Food Pattaya

February 22, 2018 by David Herd

Home style restaurant

Chamiko Japanese Food Pattaya

Chamiko Japanese Food Pattaya is a cosy little home style restaurant in Soi 3 North Pattaya. Food is good but the place can be quite noisy at times when the Japanese golfers arrive from playing golf.

Noisy customers

Certanly it’s not just the Japanese who drink too much and get rowdy, the Aussie on the right John Martin aka “Pothole Bin Ladin” is a disturbing influence no matter where he dines. 🙂

Chamiko Japanese Food Pattaya

To put things in perspective, overall the food is good without being exceptional, I dine there more from convenience as it’s on my way home from my local drinking hole. Plus there are many massage places nearby where I can enjoy an hours relaxation after dinner.

Genki in Soi 4 is a far better option & there is a very good selection of Japanese restaurants at Central Marina shopping mall just up the road. If you want to experience an authentic noisy Japanese dining experience head for Shakariki in 2nd Road South Pattaya.

Delicious California roll

As you can see they serve some excellent dishes.

Chamiko Japanese Food Pattaya Salmon Sashimi

One of my all time favourites.

My great friend Larry Krausz.

Larry loved his food and always enjoyed dinner at Chimaki, sadly on October 28 2016 he suffered a major stroke and never recovered, he passed away 3 months later when they took him off life support, RIP old buddy.

Japanese hamburger

Very tasty indeed.

I could eat this every night. 🙂

In fact I will in May when I visit Japan again for another 2 week Bullet Train adventure.

Some of the friendly staff.

Thanks for visiting my Chamiko Japanese Food Pattaya photo blog, this cosy little restaurant is certainly worth a visit.

Shakariki 432 Japanese restaurants

Shakariki-432-great-Japanese-restaurants

Thailand or Osaka, where am I?

Shakariki 432 Japanese restaurants

Shakariki 432 Japanese restaurants which are so authentic you will think you are in Osaka. There are several branches in Bangkok & one in Pattaya, the Asoke branch is ranked by TripAdvisor # 866 of 10,352 restaurants in Bangkok.

Pattaya branch

I prefer to sit upstairs.

Location

Opposite the Mike Hotel in 2nd road, +66 33 036 369.

Now for the food

On my first visit in 2017 I ordered two of my favourite dishes, salmon caviar & Unagi or Japanese eel.

Shakariki 432 great Japanese restaurants

Hard to fault the food at this noisy authentic Japanese restaurant.

How good is this?

Is it any wonder this is now one of my favourite restaurants along with Genki in Soi 4 North Pattaya.

Is there a better beer than Asahi?

I don’t think so, the Belgium beers are great but my pick is Asahi. 🙂

Fabulous colour combination

And what a taste, perfect.

Salmon Caviar washed down with Asahi.

As good as it gets. Plus they have a special on liquor, all you can drink in 90 minutes for B299.

Home delivery is a great idea.

The restaurant is two floors, upstairs is better.

Shakariki 432 great Japanese restaurants

Dinner with friends February 21 2018. Hamish, Jonathon & Anne.

How good do these oysters look? Photo credit Nick & Sharon. 🙂

Absolutely mouth watering.

Have I convinced you?

Just trust me & try out this great little hole in the wall & you will feel like you have been transported to Osaka. In fact follow THE LINK for one of my Osaka photo blogs.

Meanwhile thanks for visiting my Shakariki 432 Japanese restaurants photo blog. I will be back in Japan in May 2018, here is my agenda.

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant

February 3, 2018 by David Herd

Excellent food at Genki

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant located in Soi 4 North Pattaya is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Pattaya. Lucky for me it’s only a short 5 minute walk from my condo. 🙂

Outdoor seating

Outdoor seating plus a private room for around 16 people.

Rarely do you see a Farang here.

Customers are mainly Japanese, rarely do you see a Farang. (Foreigner)

Gyoza comes fried or steamed

Priced at B90 or $4.00 AUD.

My Australian friend Viv Kennelly

Like myself Viv really enjoys his food.

Salmon Caviar

One of my favourite dishes at B300 or $14.50 AUD.

Same dish as above.

Probably prepared by a different chef. Both come with the sheets of seaweed to make a delicious sandwich.

Genki Pattaya Japanese Restaurant

The omelet is so light it melts in your mouth. 🙂

This guy was the boss.

I believe he has gone back to Japan & the standard seems to have dropped slightly.

I’m not to keen on prawn heads in my miso soup.

Oh well I guess it improves the flavour. 🙂

Salmon sashimi

Always hard to beat.

Mushrooms wrapped in bacon

For all the non Muslims out there. 🙂

More Aussie friends

Hamish & Matt both have pretty good appetites.

Here is a funny story, Matt runs a factory in the motor industry with 60 or 70 staff, naturally he is on a very good wage. The clincher is however, on top of his wage he gets a hardship allowance for living in Pattaya. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

July 1, 2017 by David Herd

Surf & Turf

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

Excellent Beachside Pattaya Restaurant offers good food in a great seaside location on Wongamat beach. There’s a huge menu & my only complaint is the wine cost, like many other Pattaya restaurants they do not offer a glass of house wine for between B120 & B150. This oversight certainly costs them customers.

What a fabulous view

I prefer lunch over dinner for two reasons, the fabulous view & I find the wine far too expensive at night.

Excellent Beachside Restaurant

As you can see the beer prices are fine.

Let’s take a look at the food

My seafood pasta was very good indeed.

Scallop Mornay was excellent.

Just looking at this photo makes my mouth water. 🙂

Succulent Oysters

As you can see, the food is beautifully presented.

I have eaten oysters all over the world, please check out THIS LINK.

Spanish Paella

One of the many interesting dishes on the extensive menu.

Chicken, onion rings, sweet corn , YUM!

By now you probably realize why this is a favorite Excellent Beachside Pattaya Restaurant.

Spinach soup, what a great color.

Often a soup & a selection of entrees suits me better than a large main meal.

TripAdvisor rating

TripAdvisor rate Surf & Turf 111 out of 870 restaurants in Pattaya. I’m a little surprised there are only 870, I really thought there were more. On another subject I have never been a fan of food served on wooden plates, I just wonder whether are are as hygienic as normal plates?

Two visitors from Australia

Ross Kennedy & Bryce Mathews enjoying their first visit to Pattaya.

October 2017

Good lunch as always with a bunch of Aussies, Steven & Justin Bates & Patrick John Taylor. The following day we flew to Chiang Mai.

Excellent hamburger

They don’t come much better than this.

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

June 14, 2017 by David Herd

Lunch by the Bay

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Restaurant is on the waterfront in Naklua. At low tide the view is not very attractive & the restaurant itself resembles a large barn. Put all that aside & just enjoy the fabulous fresh seafood & quick efficient service.

A big tin shed

The customers who regularly eat here would be 95% Thai, mainly because tourists would never walk past or hear about it.

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Location

Either catch a Baht bus from the Dolphin roundabout or just hire a taxi. Believe me it’s worth the effort.

What about the food you ask?

Fresh, reasonably priced & lots to choose from.

Clams with lots of garlic

Delicious, in Australia we call them pippies.

Prawns cooked to perfection

Fresh & cooked to perfection.

Why are they are so fresh?

Shortly before they arrive at your table they are happily swimming around without a care in the world. 🙂

Salted fish, a Thai specialty.

Thai’s have mastered salted fish, one of their many terrific dishes.

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Restaurant

Being an amateur camera enthusiast I’m more than happy with the low tide mudflats of Naklua, it provides so many more photo opportunities.

Can you imagine the “for sale” sign?

Needs a little work. 🙂

Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

That’s my late great friend Larry Krausz who sadly passed away in January 2017 after suffering a major stroke. We were friends for nearly 30 years & I think of him often.

Pineapples & Melons

So it doesn’t just sell seafood. 🙂

Fresh crabs

Always a battle to eat but well worth the fight. 🙂

Not attractive at low tide

However the food is so good you won’t even notice the mud flats.

Sabai Wing Soi 1 North Pattaya

Sabai Wing Soi 1, 3 swimming pools and nice rooms, 100 meters from Central Marina Pattaya Shopping Mall, great value at only $23 usd per night as of August 15. I live in the high-rise in the background, Markland. For a great room rate book here.

Popular Pattaya Steak Restaurants

May 19, 2017 by David Herd

Pattaya-steak-restaurants-Patricks-Beefeater

Beefeater Steakhouse & Pub

Popular Pattaya Steak Restaurants

Popular Pattaya Steak Restaurants I’m highlighting all offer excellent Australian export quality beef as well as some other delightfull dishes. Above is the Beefeater located on Soi Diana near 2nd Road in Pattaya. You can enter the restaurant from directly from Soi Diana Inn, or from the Central Shopping Arcade off 2nd Road (across from Mike Shopping Mall). Phone Number: 038-720-926.

Fillet Steak – ranging from 150g to 400g

Ribeye Steak – 250g

One of the things I like about Beefeater is the fact they offer fillet steak in a multiple of sizes so you can order to suit your appetite.

Beefeater Location

Opposite the rear of Mike shopping mall.

Toast Skagen at beefeater

The Beefeater owner/chef hails from Scandinavia which is a bonus for me as toast skagen is one of my favourite entres, in fact I sometimes drop in for lunch on the weekend & order two. 🙂

I rate Beefeater 4 Stars.

Patrick’s Belgium Steakhouse

Terrific restaurant in an arcade opposite the Beefeater. Excellent Aussie steaks and the best Oxtail soup in Pattaya. I’m with Greg Clee and Hamish Elton.

Patricks

The steak is always excellent, the only downside is they overcharge for wine. I personally think the steaks here are better than the Beefeater, however one litre of house wine is grossly overpriced at B1200, compared to B700 at Beefeater.

Desert at Patricks

Always a delight & difficult to choose between the crepe & the Belgium waffles. 🙂

I also rate Patricks 4 stars.

Steak & Co Soi Lenkee

Only a 10 minutes walk from Patricks & the Beefeater, straight up So Diana, across Soi Buakaow into Soi Lengkee.

Steak & Co

I assure you you will search for a long time in Pattaya to find a better steak. Aussie prime beef cooked to perfection. They serve only the finest improted Australian Black Angus, Wagyu and USDA Prime Beef. Also a wide selection of Wines, Imported or Craft beer to accompany your meal.

Popular Pattaya Steak Restaurants

Soi Buakaow just turn into Soi Lengkee.

I rate Steak & Co 5 stars.

Siamese Cuisine in Naklua Road

Opposite Woodlands about 200 metres from the Dolphin roundabout this excellent restaurant serves a very good steak as well as many other dishes.

Farewell from Siamese Cuisine

Dined with friends Hamish Elton & Brad Robbins, many thanks for visiting my Popular Pattaya Steak Restaurants photo blog.

I rate Siamese Cuisine 4 stars.

Sabai Wing Soi 1 North Pattaya

Sabai Wing Soi 1, 3 swimming pools and nice rooms, 100 meters from BigC, great value at only $23 usd per night as of August 15. I live in the high-rise in the background, Markland. For a great room rate book here.

Pastry Addiction Pattaya

April 4, 2017 by David Herd

Pastry-Addiction-Mera-Mare-Hotel-Pattaya

Beach Road Pattaya

Pastry Addiction Pattaya

Pastry Addiction Pattaya is located at the Mera Mare Hotel on Beach Rd next to the Hard Rock hotel. I have been walking past every morning since it opened early 2015 & never realised what a hidden gem it was.

Beautiful decor

Overlooking Beach Rd & Pattaya bay the decor is as good as anything in Pattaya.

Coffee & pastry at the front

The room is made up of two adjoining sections, coffee shop at the front & the more formal restaurant & kitchen at the rear.

Looking towards the rear

Here is a modern version of Bugs bunny with one blue eye & one red. 🙂

The main restaurant section

The door at the far end connects to the Mera Mare Hotel. For an excellent room rate just book through THIS LINK.

Excellent food

This dish, Pork Belly & Prawns was quite different and perfectly cooked.

Mango Cheesecake

Desert is one of my many weaknesses and this mango cheesecake was to die for. 🙂

Many more varieties here

Plus a variety of ice cream flavours as well.

I’m coming back for the mango

Pastry Addiction Mera Mare Hotel Pattaya is a great choice for afternoon tea, lunch or dinner. It’s a touch on the expensive side & a glass of house wine is priced way over the top at B260.

Wine is too expensive.

Sadly B260 for a glass of house wine will probably stop me & many of my friends coming for dinner, hopefully management with see the light and offer house wine at around B150.

Ultra modern kitchen

A fabulous looking kitchen which matches the rest of the decor.

How good is this?

Indulge yourself. 🙂

Pastry Addiction Pattaya Location

Right next door to the Hard Rock Hotel.

Another look at the rabbit.

Rather risque showing off a nipple. 🙂

Good food Wongamat Beach Pattaya

January 13, 2017 by David Herd

Rim Talay

Good food Wongamat Beach Pattaya

Good food Wongamat Beach Pattaya, here are four restaurants that are worth visiting. The first one is Rim Talay located at the southern end of Wongamat, this is a great location for a cold beer on a hot day. Fresh prawns come straight out of huge tanks behind the restaurant.

Ice cold Leo at Rim Talay

Without a doubt the beach here is much cleaner than Pattaya.

Surf & Turf Pattaya Thailand beach side food wine

On the beach at Wongamat & part of the Longbeach Hotel this nice restaurant has a huge menu and reasonable prices. For a great room rate just book using THIS LINK.

No air conditioning but thankfully plenty of fans.

Xmas Day 2016

A great spot for lunch with friends.

Tasty clams at Surf & Turf

They have a huge selection on the menu, food prices are good but wine is a little expensive.

Silver Lining

This rather spectacular restaurant is located in Zire Condominium right on the beach. At 9 pm the huge section of roof & walls slide out and cover the outdoor section of the restaurant.

Spectacular Pattaya restaurant

Watch this video on YouTube

A unique experience

Apart from the food it is worth going just to see the roof slide into place. 🙂

Dinner with friends

Everyone agreed the food was excellent.

My pasta dish was fine however I must return to try some other dishes before I pass judgement on the food.

Beach Club at the Pullman Hotel

If there is a better place in Pattaya to watch the sunset I have not found it, apart from the Hilton of course which is exceptional as well.

Tapas at the Beach Club

One of the attractions here is you can swim in the two pools as well as the ocean.

You can also hire these sun lounges.

Luxury. 🙂

For a great room rate at the Pullman hotel just book using THIS LINK.

Mantra Restaurant Amari Pattaya

November 23, 2015 by David Herd

Mantra Sunday lunch

Mantra Restaurant Amari Pattaya

Mantra Restaurant Amari Pattaya has been my favourite restaurant since it opened about 10 years ago. Sunday brunch is amazing allowing you to sample food from seven different kitchens. My number one dish is Alaskan crab and oysters from France.

Sashimi and Sushi

As I said there are seven kitchens to choose from, however I rarely get past the seafood, sashimi and dim sum. 🙂

Mantra Restaurant Amari Hotel Pattaya October 2012

I’m even stuck on the seafood in this photo blog. 🙂

Dim Sum station

Dim Sum has always been one of my favourite cuisines, the Peking Duck rolls at the mantra are to die for.

Bring on the duck

Delicious.

Not everyone is happy with the duck

Leave us ducks alone.

Dim Sum washed down with cold sake.

The Mantra is part of the fabulous Amari hotel and the food, service and décor is world class.

Benjamina Sitthi

This gorgeous lady is the public relations manager at the Mantra, she always makes sure we all have a wonderful dining experience. We always seem to spend Xmas and birthdays at this great restaurant.

From the Chinese kitchen

Beef fillet steak with Cantonese onion sauce just melts in your mouth.

Mantra Restaurant Amari Hotel Pattaya Xmas day 2013

All the usual suspects celebrate Xmas at the Mantra.

Mantra Restaurant Amari Hotel Pattaya Xmas Day 2014

Here we are again celebrating Xmas. I’m with Brendan Daley who is GM at the Mantra, and a Sydney boy as well. Brendan has left the Amari & I have not met the new manager.

Looking towards the sushi & seafood

The décor is simply stunning, is it any wonder so many of my friends think this is the number one restaurant in Pattaya?

Beautiful presentation

The food at the Mantra is presented beautiful, we often take over three hours to enjoy the Sunday brunch.

Wood fired Pizza

They even have a pizza oven. The à la carte servings are smaller at Sunday lunch, the idea is to encourage customers to sample many dishes on the menu. As you can see casual dress is acceptable on Sundays compared to dinner 7 nights per week when you are expected to dress a little more formally.

Mantra Restaurant Pattaya July 7 2015

Another birthday, another Mantra celebration.

Le cake

A cake and a hat, both birthday gifts from the Mantra.

Lets not forget the beautiful welcoming smile from Anusara songkarin

Like most Thai ladies she has a nickname we can pronounce, Beer.

January 2011

We have had some big groups at Sunday brunch over the years.

Birthday 2011

There is no better place to celebrate with friends.

pièce de résistance

It has to be the wonderful seafood which I usually wash down with cold sake. The brunch (B.1,690) opens at 11 a.m. and operates until 3 p.m every Sunday, so take your time, wander through the stations, enjoy a glass of wine (the free flow wine buffet is B.1,490)

Of course those prices were in 2013, now in 2017 brunch is B1,990 & free flow wine is B1750.
