The Best Boys in Town are not always in Bars?
After arriving at my dinner Venue tonight ALOIS Restaurant I was amazed to see what I thought was a mirage, 5 of the most stunning young waiters in town from 16 to 23 I sat down, they rush over to pull out the chair, they tease you, they smile and try to make you happy so Innocent, then your waiter asks what would you like to day sir, I said the waiter, he says his next day off is Friday, your have to wait till then, where else could you go to a restaurant and not only see the Menu of your dreams for only 550 baht but have the owner tell you the waiter is yours as well.
I chose the Dory Fish and lobster Bisk to start with, then we finished off the Banana fritters with Honey and home made ice cream, it was amazing to think with the тАЬChilean MerlotтАЭ the wonderful amazing wonderful atmosphere, you wonder if life can get any better, try this restaurant, but if you want to spend more money, you can also try their starting price of 1400 baht for the fabulous melt in your mouth Japanese KOBE Steak, if you have Not tried a KOBE, now is the time to start, give it a try for a special treat, your be out of your mind with the orgasm it created, when you bite into the Best Steak in the World. Give this very Gay friendly Business a try, you will love the experience your find waiting for you, from 550 baht upwards all depends on you. ItтАЩs really giving all the other best restaurants around a run for their money, 5 star dining at 2 start prices.

I also had the opportunity to give the new restaurant, Louis, a try and am happy to report it was a very pleasant dining experience indeed. For those who don't know, and I suspect it is most out there as Louis has only been open 4 Months and it's hidden on a side soi, Louis is an offshoot of Alois Restaurant (which of course, is itself an offshoot, or maybe bastard child is a better word, of Brunos) located on Pratunmak Hill. In fact, their sign even says "Louis...Alois 2" Louis is basically a slightly cheaper version of Alois. While the setting and decor is most pleasant, it is not as "posh" as Alois. (Probably the main difference being that Louis is open to the street and therefore, doesn't have air-conditioning...but they do have plenty of overhead fans to keep the air moving...and at least on nites like tonite, when it is not too hot/humid to begin with, that is enough.) The cost savings from this, and the lack of cloth table-cloths/napkins, and fresh floral decorations, I believe is reflected in the somewhat cheaper price-points at Louis. However, the overall ambiance/decor and service are still very nice and professional.
There was a set-menu available of bacon wrapped pork tenderloin in pepper sauce or sauteed Dory fillet in a white-wine cream sauce, with choice of mixed salad or chicken-cream soup starters for B 250. Our dining party of two tried them both. We were very satisfied...the port was a generous portion of very tender meat, properly cooked, with a tasty black-pepper sauce and came with cooked vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower) and sauteed potatoes. The fish was again a well-sized boneless fillet over a mushroom and onion compote with wine cream sauce, this time, boiled potatoes. The starters were fine as well. We also perused the ala carte menu and found that the pastas were all very reasonable at B 120-220 and the meat entrees from B 250-450 [imported steaks]. House white wine, which was acceptable, was a very reasonable B 80. Desserts were also reasonably priced at B 80 for ice-creams to B 130 for fancier items like souffles and parfaits.
The set menus do not include dessert or coffee/tea (but the chef did sent us over complimentary scoops of vanilla ice-cream) but we wanted to try some to see how they were. So after the ice-cream, we order the Amaretto parfait and the chocolate souffle with vanilla ice-cream (again). Both were excellent...the souffle being a hot-centered mass of chocolate in a soft pastry-like shell, with the ice-cream and orange sauce accents making a fine finish to the meal. The total check for two people with the extra wine (1 glass, water, 2 coffees [B 50ea] and the desserts) came to B 960. I felt it was money very well spent. If one can resist the desserts and wine, one could have the set-menu and water for B 300.
The most direct comparison to another restaurant I would make would be to Cherrys. Of course, Cherrys has their B 320 nightly set from 15th July, 2011 as well, and includes dessert and coffee (along with air-conditioning) but sometimes you just want someplace different and this new Louis fits the bill nicely for me. I look forward to returning to sample more items off their ala carte menu.
Louis is located at the end of Naklua soi 31 (adjacent to Bei Gerhard German restaurant. If you are familiar with the Lovely Home short-time hotel, that is also down Naklua soi 31. Louis can also be reached from North Pattaya Road - if one is passing the Fairtex Hotel/Spa, make a turn down the soi directly on the eastern side of the hotel and drive down towards the Lovely Home Hotel and you will see Louis. They are open all day from breakfast through dinner.
Happy dining.
