I wouldn't be surprised if this one (995 baht) is already booked solid: For those looking for a Swedish julbord: Among the least expensive, but not much detail about the dinner: Christmas Dinner at O’Garas Irish Bar & Restaurant – Sunday 25th December 2016 O'Gara's is located in Jomtien on Pratumak Hill opposite Tara Court Hotel. First round: 13.00 – 15.30 hrs. Second round: 15.30 – 18.30 hrs. Third round: 18.30 – 00.00 hrs. Price is 1,200 THB per person I have a feeling this is just their standard buffe

This one: It does have indoor seating. The chairs are more comfortable and substantial than many other Pattaya restaurants. Although it's an open-front restaurant, the ventilation "inside" worked well and it wasn't warm at all. They have proper place mats as well. I got there at 7.30 p.m., intending to have a Sunday roast dinner but Roast beef, pork and chicken were sold out, even the mashed potatoes were finished, so French fries were the only potato option with other meals. I've always said you should get to buffets and roast dinners as early as possi

This isn't cheap, but considering it includes a free flow of booze, it's a pretty good price, plus the menu options are good. Only downside is that trying to get to the buffet tables will be like the Battle of Stalingrad if Russian or Chinese groups are eating there. Santa Penevil

Does any restaurant in Pattaya offer a bowl of gruel as its Christmas dinner? Seems like there would be a lot of demand for it. Santa Penevil

The first two menus are for Casa Pascal.. I've edited in identifying info in the OP. Santa Penevil

..... "Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, Book your dinner now lest your plans fall flat." If you intend on having Christmas dinner in Pattaya, you best make your reservations soon, especially if you're planning on eating at one of the more popular restaurants/bars. I read today on the Facebook page of Nicky's on Soi Bukhao that only 20 places were left for Dec. 25th. Prices range from 550 baht to 2,500 baht or more, depending on how fancy the place is, how many courses the meal includes and exactly what's on the menu. Several of the better known U.K.-style r

I don't have much experience with Christmas dinners in Pattaya. Before I moved here, I never spent an Xmas here. Since moving, I've mostly eaten Xmas dinner at friends' homes or other special arrangements. This year it may well be Bite Me! although that's not certain as a friend may be planning a private party. I'll start a thread about Xmas dinner options later today. I've seen prices ranging from 550 baht (Sutus Court) through 2,495 baht (Edge at the Hilton). Bite Me! costs 1,200 something, with three sittings (1 p.m.; 4 p.m.; 7 p.m.). A lot depends on whether you want stuff like

My Way has proven to be one of the most consistent small restaurants in Pattaya. I've eaten there for close to 10 years and never had a bad meal. Evil

Posted Today, 04:17 PM I made a follow-up visit to Jim's to try the Lava Cheesy Burger, which promises triple the cheese of an ordinary cheeseburger. I chose the small version at 210 baht. The large goes for 290 baht. I ordered it on a traditional bun and it came with the usual side of a sampler portion of waffle fries. The buns at Jim's are homemade and fresh, which in fact adds to the overall burger experience. The Lava burger also came with Jim's signature garnish, a golden fried onion ring. The bun was perfectly toasted. Like Baby Bear's porridge in Gol

These discussions can get complicated. I wasn't thinking about an authentic ragù alla bolognese, but the dish that is generally called spaghetti bolognese outside Italy. In Bologna, the classic version of ragù is usually served mixed with tagliatelle or other "broad" pasta, not spaghetti. Tomatoes play a much lesser role in the flavor profile and it's not a runny sauce. Here' s what real ragù alla bolognese looks like: But in the rest of the world, spaghetti bolognese has become the term used for spaghetti with a tomato sauce that includes ground beef (the bolognese connection).

Here's another quick suggestion for under-300-baht dining on WS: P72 Restaurant. The open-front bar and restaurant only not provides one of the classic spots for people watching, the food isn't bad. It doesn't reach any culinary heights, but it doesn't scrape any bottoms. either. The other night I had what the menu called "spaghetti with meat sauce" for 150 baht. If they had called it "spaghetti bolognese," I would have been more critical because spag bol should at a minimum have an Italian-inspired flavor. The "spaghetti with meat sauce" at P72 had no spices or herbs of any

Monday night I tried the burger at the newly opened White Pines restaurant near WS and close by the intersection of Sois 14 and 15. At the promotional price of 89 baht, it was a good deal. The four basic food groups (burgers, pizza, pasta and fried meat) are well represented and I'll be sampling as many as I can through Nov. 30, the last day of the 89-baht promotion. However, prices will remain low, with many fixed at 89 baht and the most expensive 129 baht. Overall, I have a positive impression of White Pines. I can (and will) quibble a bit about the food, but it is as good as many an

And some information> I haven't tried this restaurant, so I can't recommend it. Just passing on the info of a special promotion through Nov. 30. It's located on Soi 14 near the intersection with Soi 15. If you enter Soi 14 from Pattaya Tai and walk towards WS, White Pines is on your left. I plan on trying it soon, hopefully before the promotion expires. Evil

Yorkshire pudding is simple to make but it requires skill and a very hot oven, both of which are sadly lacking in the kitchens of some farang restaurants in Pattaya. You'd think that with the number of ex-pats and tourists in town who are familiar with this classic side to a roast dinner, the restaurant would get it right or take it off the menu. Unfortunately, a few restaurants which should "know better" continue to serve truly bad Yorkshire pudding. One problem is that a lot of the cooking of farang food is done by Thai cooks who have no idea how it should look or taste. In one plac

Jim's Burger offers some of the best, if not the best, hamburgers currently available in Pattaya. It's been open a few months, bringing the number of Jim's Burger restaurants to four. Three Jim's outlets have sprung up in Bangkok over the past two years. True to its name, Jim's specializes in burgers and craft beer, without much else on the menu. I forgot to take a pic of the sign when I was there Wednesday night, so I lifted one off the Web as well as the map that marks the location. If you are riding a baht bus along 2nd Road, push the buzzer when you see the parallel street tha

I was one of the 11 diners who had ordered the special by 11.30 a.m. In fact, I was the first customer of the day at Bite Me for the Thanksgiving special. As a meal, it was very good and held Bite Me's high standard. However, as a traditional North American Thanksgiving meal, it had some shortcomings that mainly had to do with the perception of what dishes should be included in a Turkey Day meal. Some of it had to do with differences in U.K. and U.S. terminology. None of this affected the taste of the food on the plate, only the preconceived notion of what should be there. Bite Me! is well-kno

I want to wish everyone a ... whether you'll be eating turkey with all the trimmings or not! It's actually been fun doing this thread. The comments have been reasonable even when there's disagreement. And for that I am thankful! Evil

I began this thread with a tinge of trepidation as I worried it could get very silly, very fast and I'd have to request the mods to lock it. That DIDN'T happen; the comments have remained quite sensible. Well done! It seems like the Toxic Avenger beef noodle soup - only for those who have burned out their taste buds- is sticking to the top of the "Bad at Any Price" list. It doesn't appear to have many rivals. That's in sharp contrast to the "Under 300 Baht" thread where many BMs had suggestions for good places to eat. It's just one more bit of evidence that when it comes to food, Pa

On Sunday, I had the daily special at Retox Game On- the Sunday roast. It's offered in both small (199 baht) and large portions (299 baht), with a choice of beef, lamb, pork or chicken as the meat. I got there around 9.00 p.m.- late for a Sunday roast dinner - and beef was was the only option left, but that's what I would have ordered anyway. It came with Yorkshire pudding; veggies; roast and mashed potatoes; stuffing; a mini U.K. pig in a blanket (sausage wrapped with bacon); and gravy. I chose the small portion and it was plenty enough for me. The meal was good, but I've had bett

I didn't have it, but my friend said it was excellent and he ate every morsel. Evil

Not a waste of time at all. It's good to be aware of what's happening with Web crawlers. What I found fascinating about the Online Users List is that a BM with zero posts was using the board messaging system. I've also noticed that several long-term but inactive members are frequent users of the messaging system. Evil
