Pattaya Restaurants

There are plenty of restaurants where you can eat deliciously in Pattaya. We will tell only about those that we liked the most.

Santa fe Are chain American steakhouses. They are in the Central Festival, Central Marina, BigC supermarkets on South and North streets. If Thai cuisine is too spicy for you or you just want a familiar meal - feel free to come here! The interiors are stylized as trains and railways. Very clean and comfortable.

What can you order at Santa Fe? Any steak - pork, beef, chicken, ostrich and kangaroo meat with fried potatoes and salad garnish, cream soups and desserts. The quality is excellent, for 200-350 baht you will have a hearty lunch for two. The only negative is that the cooks cook slowly, so the waiting time can take up to 30-50 minutes.

Pupen Seafood - seafood restaurant in Jomtien. Will delight those who love crabs, lobsters, shrimps, fish, sea urchins and shark meat. The average bill for two, excluding alcohol, is 500-600 baht.

Russian restaurants in Pattaya

Sometimes you want to taste okroshka, buckwheat with meat or pies with caviar. A good idea! True, in Thailand, foreigners cannot work as cooks, so Thais cook in Russian cuisine establishments.

We tried several times to order the usual dishes, but the borscht turned out to be sour and spicy, like tom-yam, and the dumplings resembled gyoza in shape. May you be more lucky!

Pattaya Markets

There are several markets in Pattaya where they sell vegetables, fruits, fish, meat and feed people. At first glance, Thai food outlets look unpresentable. They have no sinks, the dishes are simple, and the tables are covered with ordinary oilcloths. However, the food in the markets is excellent and the food is inexpensive - 40-70 baht per serving. We recommend visiting the Teprazit Night Market, the food market in the middle of Jomtien, and the fish market in the Naklua area.

The chances of getting poisoned in a street restaurant in Thailand are negligible. The owner of the establishment does everything to avoid such problems. Otherwise, he will put an end to the craft, which fed grandfather and grandmother and father and mother. Reputation is above all! Thais follow this strictly.

Makashnitsa

Do not be afraid of macaques in Pattaya - there you can eat tasty and inexpensive food! It is not known where this word came from, but this is the name of the merchants who sell food from motorcycles with a sidecar and from non-motorized kitchen carriages.

What is cooked on the makashnits? Sweet pancakes, rice with chicken, tom yum soup, kebabs, fried sausages, grilled squid and other food. Makashnitsy stand on all streets and near the beaches. Nice way to have a snack on the go!

Pattaya food courts

You can always eat cheap and tasty in Pattaya at the food court. They are similar to canteens, only the food is made not by one team of chefs, but by several. Small restaurants are gathered under one roof, which offer tourists first and second courses, snacks, desserts and drinks.

There are food courts in all major shopping centers and supermarkets in Pattaya. You go inside, pay a deposit at the checkout, for example 200 baht, and receive a card or checks. Then you go to the food court and choose the dishes you like. The chefs prepare them and debit the amount from your card or keep checks for themselves.

Everything is very simple! There was not enough money - add at the checkout. Have unused funds left on your card or checks? The cashier will return the cash to you. The advantages of food courts are low prices and availability. Cons - average food quality and constant noise. A lot of people come here!
