Cafe John

Same soi as Agate and Zing in Jomtien Complex. Every time I go there I have to search around for it. Try search for Cafe Ritz the prior name.

Experiences can be so different. I went there for a turkey dinner in January. The turkey was so bad that I could not even get my knife in it. I had to send it back without even tasting the food. I will never go back, but good to hear that others have had good experiences.

One evening while having dinner a Brit at the next table asked for mint jelly with the beautiful pink lamb and Jose asked him to leave. Vive La France!

I hope this customer had an expensive starter and started an expensive wine before he was asked to leave. All without payment of course.

Considering the average age of the ex-pat community Chef Jose (French?) should be grateful he wasn't asked to puree the food. Ha Ha. Just wait until Scottish pitches up and demands pureed deep fried pizza and Mars Bar while gluing in his dentures.

I suppose if you are a regular tourist you might look forward to this restaurant when visiting Pattaya but frankly the menu is old and tired, hasn't changed for many years. New dishes with an updated menu are in order. I dine there occasionally but Jomtien has so many good places to dine.

This is very true. Plenty of excellent places and many different types of cuisine available. However as a tourist with time limits I like to eat reasonable quickly rather than linger. I should also point out that cafe John is well known for extremely generous portions so is obviously popular with the gentlemen of generous girth. It's usually full. In fact Cafe John and Yupins are both exemplary examples of how to please your customers.
