Pattaya Restaurants
 

Plenty of al fresco dining in Pattaya Life often revolves solely around food in Thailand, with work and duty merely filling the time in between. Pattaya restaurants offer plenty of choice. Thai cuisine has a worldwide fashion-food appeal these days, and in Pattaya there are a huge selection of vendors and restaurants which allow you to try everything the country's street stalls and kitchens have to offer. Pattaya's international popularity is reflected in its vast selection of international restaurants serving food from all around the globe at prices to suit all palates. See list of recommended Pattaya restaurants In Pattaya, restaurants and food vendors are everywhere. Local cuisine is catered for at a range of budgets and restaurants serving French, Japanese, Italian, German, Scandinavian, and Korean food are commonplace. There are also a large amount of hamburger joints, steak places, and curry houses while in the centre of town there is a whole street serving Arabic cuisine. Visitors from the U.K. wont be disappointed to know there is also a local 'chippy' serving a host of deep-fried delights. There are also a number of delis and coffee shops serving food in Pattaya while most guest houses will have their own restaurant, as will all the hotels. What all this amounts to is something of a dining extravaganza which is one of the main attractions of visiting Pattaya. Street vendors in Thailand operate under cramped but pretty hygienic conditions, and this is where you'll find the cheapest food. Grilled and fried chicken, corn-on-the-cob, and kebabs are among the favourites. Pattaya doesn't exactly offer the most authentic Thai dining experience, where steakhouses and international menus cater to the foreign crowd instead of the charming Thai eating houses with their live music, water features and whiskey girls. It would be almost impossible to list all the restaurants in Pattaya for there are so many, but below, you'll find a selection of recommendations.
