PattayaParent 336 #106 Posted June 16, 2009 Went to BuonaNotte the other night, it's down Thessabarn 56 (the road from the lights at Sukhumvit down to Nam Rin Beach). Nice setting and good food at a good price with a mix of Thai and Farang foods and customers. Portions are reasonable for a price of 150 Baht although maybe not large enough for a full Franag appetite (one Farang had ordered 3 items to himself!) but as I and the missus don't eat a lot in the evening it was just right.

longball53098 378 #107 Posted June 16, 2009 How far to drive down 56? One click, two, more? All the way to Nam rin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PattayaParent 336 #108 Posted June 17, 2009 How far to drive down 56? One click, two, more? All the way to Nam rin? Should have clocked it shouldn't I! If you come down from the lights it's the 3rd gap in the central reservation and make a u-turn and it's about 100m up on your left, just before the shop with the barbeque chicken machine outside. It's before the new road intersection so if you get to there you've gone too far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Guns 359 #109 Posted June 17, 2009 I tried Terracotta Coffee House on Saturday. It's just along from the Bangkok Rayong hospital towards Rayong. It's a nice setting and almost a Bangkok style restaurant. The Thai food and service was great and they have a good selection of cakes. Saying that the cakes at Buonanotte are better. The chocolate cake, cheesecake and Oreo cheesecake are fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PattayaParent 336 #111 Posted June 18, 2009 OK, the road down from the lights at Sukhumvit to Nam Rin Beach is Thessabarn 58 not 56 as I wrote. And Buonanotte is 800m down from Sukhumvit on the right hand side, you have to go down a bit farther and make a u-turn. The cakes did look good but we didn't try them.

Big Guns 359 #112 Posted June 20, 2009 Soutpeel, Bangkok has some nice smaller quite upmarket restaurants. In the Ban Chang/Rayong area we have very few of this type of restaurant. If you try the Terracotta place I mentioned it has the feel/ambience of a small upmarket restaurant in Bangkok. The kind of place to take your wife for a nice meal. Give it a try. Hope this clarifies things for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longball53098 378 #114 Posted June 20, 2009 Just an update. I thought I would give the pizza joint in the soi down from Lotus another try tonight. It was a mistake. I think the bad pizza there has gotten worse. Last time I go there. Enough said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longball53098 378 #116 Posted June 22, 2009 I tried the Blue Plate Special at the Beaver Bar today. The place cooks up a nice lunch plate. Today was a huge serving of meat loaf with a big scoop of potato salad and baked beans with some green veggies and rolls for 250. More than I could eat and taste was pretty good. The place has a nice looking dessert menu such as Blueberry Cheesecake and 4 different pies. No atmosphere as just a bar but the food looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QED 97 #120 Posted July 4, 2009 Another vote for The Old Beach House in Phala. Went last night and the (Thai) food was excellent, very cheap given the location, and a lovely ambiance. Service was great too. Been to LorKor on Nam Rin a few times lately, as it is close to my house. Food is OK, but after discovering the superior food/ atmosphere/ service at The Old Beach House, at similar (or possibly lower) prices, I think we have a new 'regular'. It's only 5 minutes away so I reckon I can cope. BTW has anyone tried the farang food at TOBH? It just doesn't strike me as the kind of place that could or should be doing western food.
