Eat out | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

Favourite Pattaya restaurants in no particular order, these are just the places I regularly visit for food, comfort, ambiance and value for money. Above is a Massaman curry lamb shank at Siam @ Siam hotel, absolutely delicious.

Patrick’s Belgium restaurant

Patricks has a terrific menu and great food. I really love their Oxtail soup. Very good Australian steaks with waffles & ice cream to finish. This really is one of the best Pattaya restaurants

Favourite Pattaya restaurants for a birthday at Patrick’s

Hamish turns 46 on July 21st 2015 and we celebrate at Patrick’s with Greg Clee.

The Mantra one of my Favourite Pattaya restaurants

Sunday lunch here at The Mantra is one of the world’s great dining experiences. Alaskan crab, oysters from France Australian beef etc etc, just go there. There is food from seven different kitchens and the service and décor is 2nd to none. Certainly one of my Favourite Pattaya restaurants.

All washed down with cold Japanese sake.

I could eat a plate like this every day. 🙂

Sadly in February 2019 the Amari Hotel management made a ridiculous decision to permanently close the wonderful restaurant.

Take a look at our final feast HERE.

Siamese Cuisine

Excellent Australian steak at reasonable prices. Out of all the North Pattaya restaurants this is probably my favourite. The lobster soup is a must, the two other places who also do a great lobster bisque are the upmarket Mata Hari and the budget restaurant at the Avenue called Pizza Pizza.

Louis Noll, the owner of Mata Hari sadly passed away in February 2022, RIP my friend.

Lovely Benjamina

This night we had excellent Thai food at Siamese Cuisine, I guess it helps when a local orders.

Holiday Inn pizza

Special price on Tuesday night only 279 Baht or $8.50 usd. Order wine before 7 pm and get 2 for 1.

Boscaiola at Bella Italia in 2nd Rd near Alcazar.

Very good food & great value.

Another of my Favourite Pattaya restaurants is Mata Hari.

Mata Hari is a very stylish upmarket restaurant serving excellent European & Thai cuisine. A very popular spot for the locals, impeccable service, great food & upmarket décor, yet reasonably priced all things considered. I would certainly rate it in the top 6 restaurants in Pattaya. Louis is your friendly host & his wife Jacky the terrific chef, check out the website here. Mata Hari certainly is one of the best Pattaya restaurants.

Hachiban Ramen

Hachiban Ramen, the Gyoza & Teriyaki chicken is to die for, only 153 Baht for the two, priceless.

There is another branch on the ground floor of Tukcom at the rear.

Leckerle in Soi 33 Naklua

Located about 200 meters from the Dolphin roundabout. Very good low cost German food, always busy.

The food here is terrific.

Pea soup is excellent (B90) as are the meatballs & potato salad. (B150).

Hilton Sunday Buffet B1,500

An exceptional feast.

A favourite photo of one of the Hilton Chefs.

Pattaya Fish Market Naklua Road

September 4, 2015 by David Herd

A great place to buy fresh seafood.

Pattaya Fish Market Naklua Road

Pattaya Fish Market Naklua Road is located in Naklua about 5 kms from central Pattaya. Just jump on a Baht bus & you are there in 10 minutes for 10 Baht or 70 cents.

Very fresh

Many products are still alive & kicking, they will kill & clean the fish for you then pack them in ice so you can take them home to cook.

Alive and Kicking

Here is my friend Pothole choosing dinner.

Clams, mussels and prawns.

A great choice at the Pattaya Fish Market.

These guys will cook for you

Choose you lunch and they will cook it for you.

Live lobsters

Rather expensive as you can see.

How about a Baby shark?

They even look dangerous when they a small. 🙂

Fresh vegetables as well

A good selection at reasonable prices.

Cleaning the fish

Choose from the live tank and they will scale and clean them for you.

Anyone for catfish?

The variety is incredible, anything you desire is here.

Man at work

A very interesting place to spend an hour or so.

A mountain of mussels

Seeing all these mussels reminded me of when I was in Brussels last year, the Belgians are absolutely crazy about them, check out my blog called Beer, Fries & Mussels.

Pattaya Fish Market

It real is worth a visit, get something cooked and eat in the adjacent park.

Adjacent to the market

Enjoy the view from the walkway beside the gulf.

Lamchabang port in the distance

Laem Chabang is a large commercial port with not much else in the area. The large cruise ships stop here and they can buy souvenirs and get a massage at the cruise terminal, there is also a shopping centre. Smaller ships may head up the Chao Phraya River and dock at Khlong Toei Port relatively close to Bangkok’s city centre.

Low tide

High and dry at low tide at Pattaya Fish Market.

Low tide at Naklua

Those blocks of condos have all sprung up in the last 2 years. This view is from beside the fish market. Out of picture to the right is the Sanctuary of Truth.

Sanctuary of Truth

Sanctuary of Truth is a temple, an all-wood building filled with sculptures based on traditional Buddhist and Hindu motifs. More photos on THIS LINK.
