Globetrotter Restaurant

[Evil Penevil 7,628]

I had an excellent Swedish-style open-faced shrimp-and egg sandwich at the Globetrotter, followed by poached fillet of sole and boiled potatoes. I was happy with the meal and will definitely return to try some of the Globetrotter's other Swedish specialties.

It's located close to the intesection of Pattaya Klang and Beach Road, about 50 meters in on the unnamed alley that runs between Klang and Soi 7. The Globetrotter is next to the Seaside and just around the corner from Tequila Reef on Soi 7.

The sandwich cost 140 baht, the sole 295 baht and a mug of draft beer 65 baht.

Fresh shrimp, crab, sliced boiled egg with Swedish-style mayonnaise and dill on white bread.

I also had the poached sole and boiled potatoes.

...

...

There's plenty of info on what is available at the Globetrotter. The menu is very heavy on Swedish dishes, but pizza is also available.

I'm a big fan of draft beer and I had a good mug of it at the Globetrotter. Unfortunately, a lot of the draft served in Pattaya is poor. Draft beer is a fresh product that needs to be transported, handled, stored and dispensed properly. Globetrotter got it right.

...

Bottom line: The food at the Globetrotter is very good, but it may seem different to anyone not familiar with Swedish cuisine.

What are you doing to me EP!

We are not supposed to make plans for Pattaya.

However in the past, you have always done a couple of restaurant reviews which has lead me to seek out new (for me) treats.

 

Since last november I have created the following list of 8 for this November.

Thats just about every meal catered for, as your recommendations are generally that good, that I usually visit at least a couple of times each.

 

Pakbungloyfah second RD close to second mikes store.

The balcony restaurant Soi Bukhao

Wok and Rock Soi Bukhao

The greek Place Pattayanis off Soi Bukhao nr soi 21

49 Baht Ribs place Soi Bukhao

The Brooklyn diner (schnitzel and Pizza)

The globe trotter.

 

The sea food (off soi 7)

 

Not mentioning all the other places I already know about - steak houses, buffets, PBG, The near Tuc Com crowd etc.

Thanks a million Evil, I'm really looking forward to this.

Another meal at Globetrotter, again very good. I had two iconic Swedish dishes. A pickled herring sandwich on rye bread (120 baht) ...

... and pyttipanna, a type of Swedish hash served with fried eggs and pickled beets (225 baht).

My pyttipanna came with two substantial wedges of bread, which one of my companions buttered and ate with gusto along with one of my fried eggs.

One of my dining companions had a 250-gram pork chop with French fries (pretty much a generic Western dish) at 325 baht.

She really liked the fries and ate them with a huge amount of ketchup. She finished the pork chop as well, but it's a pet peeve of mine that it came covered in brown sauce which should always be served in gravy boat.

My other companion had Thai food, a spicy rice noodle salad ...

... and panang red curry with rice.

The two Thai dishes together cost about 200 baht.

I fondly recall one of your earlier submissions Evil, re-the Vietnamese restaurant in Central……..Your dining companion had her ample breasts dangling in the dumplings I recall.

 

Yesterday, my regular who's back in town asked me to take her there again. The food was always great and the house wine really good.

 

Sadly we discovered it's gone……That whole stretch now is taken up with a billboard announcing the coming of another Japanese eatery!! Buggar!

 

You've no idea if it's been relocated?

Here's what it says on their Web site:

 

 

It may have replaced L'Olivier in the Jomtien Complex, but I'm not sure. You could always give them a call.

I've walked past it. Of the two alleys going into the Jomtien Complex from Thapprya, it's near the entrance of the northern one.

 

Ed. Yes, the L'Olivier location. The old sign is still up. It's next to the new location of Sam's Mexican Grill.

I have visited Globetrotter many times since 1999 and I like their food.

Last visit in July this year and pepper steak was very tasty.
