Beefeater Steak House

If you’re in the mood for a fine steak dinner, Beefeater Steak House & Pub is the place to go in Pattaya. Located on Soi 13, Beefeater cooks up only the finest cuts of beef imported from Australia and New Zealand. The atmosphere is pleasant and the wait staff is friendly and attentive.

I’ve never met the cook, but I can tell you that he will cook your steak to perfection no matter how you order it. Beefeater Steakhouse & Pub offers three sizes of Filet Steak, 200, 300 or 400 gram. They also serve a 250 gram Ribeye steak that is sure to please.

All steaks come with a choice of sauce. You can choose red wine sauce, pepper sauce, BBQ sauce and of course, béarnaise. Meals also include your choice of potato as well. They offer French fried, baked, mashed, or au gratin. If you’re not into potatoes, you can substitute a green salad.

Beefeater Grill Menu

Steak isn’t the only thing on the menu. Chicken or pork dishes are also available. In fact their Pork Fillet Caruso with béarnaise and asparagus is pretty amazing. Besides the traditional cuts of steak they have kabob as well. They always have some specialty preparations on their “Grill Menu”.

Prices aren’t cheap. But when you consider that they import all of the beef, it’s really worth it. The 200 gram fillet will run you 475 baht. The largest 400 fillet is the most expensive thing on the menu at 795 baht. Most of the items on the grill menu are priced between 365 and 475 baht.

The bar is fully stocked and features the most popular imported liquor. They have a nice wine selection as well.

The dress, as with most Pattaya restaurants, is casual. Shorts are Ok, but I’ve never seen anyone in swimsuit and flip-flops.

The last time I was there I ordered the 200 gram fillet cooked medium rare. It came out perfectly cooked and I could practically cut the meat with my fork. Instead of the potatoes, I ordered the green salad and it was tasty as well. I don’t like to get stuffed before a night out on the town, so the small steak was plenty for me.

Give Beefeater Steak House and Pub a try. I recommend it.

Kiss Food and Drink has good food at reasonable prices.

One Pattaya restaurant where you can get good food at reasonable prices is the Kiss Food and Drink restaurant on the corner of Pattaya 2 and Soi 13 on the opposite side of the street from Mike’s Mall. It’s open 24 hours a day and you can get a tasty Thai meal there for under 50 baht.

Besides having good food, this restaurant is a great place to meet Pattaya girls. A lot of the girls stop in for a meal before they head off to work and come in again late at night. When you eat at the Kiss you’re sure to see other “farang” eating there with their Pattaya girls in tow. In fact, the Kiss Food and Drink is a good place to just relax and people watch.

Look for the Kiss Food and Drink sign.

It’s located right in an area that’s packed with beer bars so it’s a good place to make your last stop after a hard night of bar crawling. The Kiss is also a good place to start the day. An interesting pastime is to just watch the constant parade of people passing by on Pattaya 2. The Kiss is an open air restaurant with tables right out on the sidewalk on one side where it connects with a promenade.

There’s a steady stream of clientele that frequent the Kiss and it’s easy to see why. Their prices are the lowest in town. Breakfast is a popular meal at the Kiss. You can get an American breakfast including coffee for 60 baht. The menu is extensive with a number of seafood dishes and soups available, all for around 50 baht. They have a shrimp and rice dish that is delicious priced at only 35 baht.

No matter what time of day or night, Kiss Food and Drink is well worth the stop. The staff is friendly and most of the waiters speak enough English to understand exactly what you want. In spite of the volume and turnover of customers, the service is prompt and courteous. This is a good place for a cheap date with your Pattaya girl.

For a great Pattaya breakfast, look for this sign on Pattaya 2 Road

One Pattaya restaurant that offers good food at a tremendous value is the Happy Buffet at the Apex Hotel.  It’s one of those all-you-can-eat buffets. Whether you’re in the mood for Western food, or you’d like to try out some different Thai dishes, the Apex serves up delicious entrées that delight any palette.

The most popular meal at the Happy Buffet is breakfast.  For a mere 110 baht you’ll get to graze at the 100-foot-long buffet counter until you’re stuffed.  The buffet opens bright and early at 7 a.m. and it usually starts to get crowded between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m.  The buffet closes at 1 p.m. It’s a popular place to bring your long-time date from the night before down for a nice breakfast sendoff.

The buffet comes complete with beverages including coffee, tea, orange and pineapple juice, as well as milk.

The Happy Buffet offers an entire selection of fruits, salads, and vegetables.  There is also a wide choice of pastry and bread.

Your Thai girlfriend will enjoy a choice of at least four Thai dishes, as well as a large cooker of white rice.

The offerings include the standard American breakfast items such as fried and scrambled eggs, French toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, and ham.  They also have a chef on hand who prepares made to order omelettes.

The only downside that we could see was the fact that they only had two toasters available in the fresh bread section.  Toast is popular with almost all of the foreign patrons and unfortunately there is usually a waiting line for the toasters.

One successful strategy for getting toast is to head straight to the toaster as soon as you arrive at the buffet. Plunk in your bread, and then head on to the rest of the buffet.  Just about time your plate is full with other items, your toast will be popping up out of the toaster.

At 110 baht which includes your beverage, the Apex Hotel Happy Buffet  is the best deal in town on breakfast.

The Apex Hotel is located on Pattaya 2 between Soi 12 and Soi 13.
