Staying in View Talay 2 in Jomtien. Any good places to eat, breakfast, lunch, dinner, close by?

[thegrogmonster 110]

The Ace Cafe should be close to you. Good food at good prices.

Yes it is, thanks

[Gabor 296]

An excellent restaurant, one of my favourite at the very end of Jomtien to the south, the Lung Suway restaurant..... however when we visit it with thai girls and when they order the food it seems much much better...

 

 

 

 

 

There is an other very good restaurant at the corner of Jomtien ( opposite to the police station ) next to the former KFC...

 

Excellent roast duck at the corner of the Thepprasit road and the Thappraya road ( ask a double big )

 

 

Good duck noodle soup in the hole in the wall restaurant on the left side walking to the beach...

 

 

 

The best beef noodle soup next to the Family mart at the Hanuman corner, in the next soup cart good red pork noodle soup

 

 

 

My best restaurant ( cheap, tasty and nice environment ) is the Jomtien food plaza in the " new street " surrounded with the newly built condos... ( my favourite: pad thai with shrimps, chicken ... ask mix ... 50 baht )

 

 

 

For the adventurous great food on the Thepprasit night market...

 

 

On the beach you can order also good food for reliable prices...

Gabor, How refreshing for a board member to actually answer the question and take time to go out of his way to help a fellow member. Far too many on this board see themselves as mods and answer sensible questions and queries with the 'use the search facility' attitude.

Well done mate

Yes, I agree. It was informative, well documented, and obviously took a lot of work. Plus, it made me hungry!

You are flying an American flag, so I'm sure that you would like to discover Tigglebitties on soi 17 From Jomtien, take third road, turn right at the first light before Pattaya thai. It's about a mile up the road on the right. It's the best American food in Pattaya.

Indeed it is a superb reply.

I'm in full agreement with Gabor about the seafood restaurant on Beach Road, Jomtiem. Go as far down as you can go and when the road turns to the left. Stop and the restaurant is right in front of you. Great food at a reasonable price.

 

My second choice is the Great American Rib Country. Ribs are simply WONDERFUL. Pulled pork OUT OF THIS WORLD. Give it a go you won't be disappointed.

Um, BigD, I thought you are Jewish?

 

How does this eating pork blasphemy sit with your family?

[torrenova 644]

Even after I left View Talay, I would drive past and pick up some soup noodles from the cart roughly opposite VT2 and a little down the hill, but before the turn. Great dumplings in the noodles and top soup taste. Often sold out though unfortunately.

 

As for food starting in VT2, well the restaurant next to the pool in VT2 always did quite reasonable food, simple, but decent Thai stuff. You certainly wouldn't have to travel outside id you were being lazy to get fed.

 

Pan Pan blows hot and cold or did for me. However, they deliver to VT2 and if you eat in their restaurant, the food seems much better. I've had a few good lunches there.

 

Going along Jomtien sea front, there is a Thai place a few hundred metres down, which has good foliage coverage from the road. Their food has always been good, reasonably priced and the trees break up the setting quite nicely.

My dear old Jewish mom cooked the best ham and cabbage, I've ever tasted. My dear old Irish/American Roman Catholic dad taught her how to cook. BTW I was raised Roman Catholic. Anyone up for a bagel?

(Another sleepless night trawling Pattaya Talk...)

 

Props to Gabor from me too, one of the most informative replies ever. I could go for some of those noodles right now!

 

There's also Simon's Fish and Chips, quite good haddock and cod from Norway, across from Hanuman Roundabout and down the road apiece toward the beach (don't forget to tell the waitress to bring the tartar sauce or they won't bring it), and apparently there's a Shenanigan's there too, though I've never been, in case the desire for overpriced pub grub overtakes you. Also inside VT2A there's Schubeli or something like that, they have a few pretty good German items.

Lately it became crap and relatively expensive...

Lately it became crap and relatively expensive...

 

I went to order a cold cut sandwich there a couple days ago and had been waiting a long time, there was no one else there. I went up to the counter and waited a little bit longer to see what was going on. The cook back there looked like he was cleaning up and instead of asking how much longer it was going to take, I just walked off, about half way to the door of the building, I could hear one of the waiters calling after me. I didn't even turn around, just kept on walking, I was so aggravated. Guess I burned that bridge, but I don't care now. There is another little restaurant that opened up right next to "Pat Services", in the building, and it is very cheap and good food. They even give you free water if you eat there. Not much of a menu selection, and all Thai food, but they are nice people and good service.

Thats the problem with giving out restaurant reviews. If the owner, manager or cook leave. The good place to eat can turn to crap quickly.

If someone tells me how to use the google mao to pick a place or show me the Pattaya street view link I will be happy to show....

 

However:

 

1. Jomtien plaza.... when you turn right ( coming from Pattaya ) when the new Jomtien Second road starts there is a small street behind the Thappraya road

 

2. Thepprasit night market: On the Thepprasit road... ( From Jomtien to the TESCO Lotus ) before the TESCO... working fri.sat-sun...from 6-7pm till 10-11pm

Delicious thread, and - as others have commented - an outstanding post from Gabor. Thank you all for some good suggestions, which I fully intend to follow up.

 

But I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the all-day breakfasts at the Continental Bakery: excellent and well-priced. If you come down Thepprasit from Sukhumvit and turn left into Thappraya it's some 50 yards down on the left.
