One of the great pleasures of visiting Thailand is, I think, the opportunity to experience fine dining at prices much less than would be charged in Europe. On my last visit I sampled two Michelin-starred Bangkok restaurants - L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and Suhring and had wonderful experiences at both (but especially Suhring).
As far as I know, no Pattaya restaurant has ever held a Michelin star, but over the years I have eaten some cleverly-conceived, wonderfully-cooked and exquisitely presented meals at, among others, Casa Pascal (though sadly it's gone a little down-market in recent years), Bruno's, Mata Hari (sadly no longer with us) and Café des Amis (which, I recall, was the favourite of one late and singularly unlamented owner of this board).
Next month I will be in Pattaya again and would like to add some new culinary experiences of the upmarket fine-dining variety to my schedule. Apart from the places I've named already, can anyone suggest any other similar venues worth a try?
[P.S. This should not be taken as yet another opportunity to plug Yupins!]
