Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

February 7, 2022 by David Herd

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya 

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya is a new restaurant on the ground floor of Markland which is my condo building in Beach Road pattaya.

Modern upmarket setting

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Very well put together, however the glamorous decor may scare off some of the Cheap Charlies who live upstairs in Markland. (You know who you are) πŸ™‚

Nice outdoor setting as well.

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

A perfect spot to watch the fabulous Pattaya sunsets.

For example

What about the food you may well ask?

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

The lobster soup rates 10 out of 10. πŸ™‚

Huge pancake

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Excellent quality as well, this should help me maintain my 108 kilo frame. This makes it 2 days in a row for me to have lunch here, the problem is it’s too convinient being in the complex where I live. πŸ™‚ 

Lets take a closer look.

Playa Bistro Lounge PattayI wonder how many calories? πŸ™‚

Perhaps you would prefer a waffle?

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Plenty of choices for those of you with a sweet tooth. πŸ™‚ 

This was excellent

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Prawn and asparagus with a very tasty sauce. This dish and the waffle for desert came to a total cost of B300, or $12.80 AUD, hows that for value?

Fried rice

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Cooked to perfection. πŸ™‚

Terrific Tacos

Playa Bistro Lounge PattayaIt’s been many years since I tasted a taco, I don’t remember them being this good. πŸ™‚

Spectactular looking soup

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

Sadly it was not too my liking, next time I’ll stick to the Lobster soup. πŸ™‚

How hungry are you?

Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya

This is enough for 4 or 5 people.

I think this new restaurant will succeed where others have failed in this location, the management seem to know what they are doing. Also they have recruited some very nice staff.

Thanks for visiting my Playa Bistro Lounge Pattaya photo blog, please come along and try this new cool establishment. The location is the corner of Beach Road & Soi 1 North Pattaya.

Here are some of my most popular posts.

Mezzo coffee Markland Condo Pattaya

April 14, 2016 by David Herd

Mezzo is now closed, replaced with The Coffee Club.

Mezzo coffee Markland Condo Pattaya has become a favourite place for me to get away from my computer. I live on the 17th floor of Markland and often spend too much time banging on the keyboard producing new photo FiveStarVagabond blogs. So when I need a break I head down for coffee and to chat and have fun with the lovely young girls who work there.

Always smiling

The girls are always happy and smiling, it is a pleasure to walk in and share some jokes with them. The coffee and the cakes are very good also. πŸ™‚

Ham & salad croissant

They offer quite a variety of snacks, Mezzo is a Thai group of shops, there is another branch at the rear of Mike shopping mall.

The cakes are my downfall

Mezzo coffee Markland Condo Pattaya

Sadly I find it hard to resist the selection of cakes and cookies, oh well I guess I have to maintain my 110 kilograms.

Blueberry cheesecake

I try to limit myself to a cake every 2nd visit, I don’t always succeed. πŸ™‚

How lucky am I?

Mezzo coffee Markland Condo Pattaya

Here is the view from my condo on the 20th floor, I never tire of looking at this wonderful vista. However as I said before when I want a break from the computer I slip down to Mezzo for a coffee and cake.

The building next door shaped like a boat is the very popular A1 hotel, use this link for a great room rate. If you want to see more here is my A1 photo blog.

Thanks for visiting my Mezzo coffee Markland Condo Pattaya photo blog, I can honestly say out of all the great places I have lived and owned in Australia, I find this current home is the most spectacular view I have ever experienced. I feel sorry for the many people in this world who are not moved by great views such as Pattaya Bay.

Markland Hotel Pattaya Beach Road is in the very best location in Pattaya, I should know because I live there. The 27 floor building has 4 floors of hotel, all the other floors are condominiums.

Opposite the beach
