10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Pattaya 2016
10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Pattaya 2016
The Glass House Pattaya
The Glass House is the most renowned restaurant in the area, being regularly booked up to capacity. It combines a classy and comfortable style, a fantastic beachfront location and a surprisingly affordable menu of great Thai seafood. There are over 170 items on the menu, with average prices being between 200 and 500 baht per plate.
Moom Aroi Seafood Restaurant
Another iconic restaurant in Pattaya, Moom Aroi is found close by the fishing communities of Naklua, so it comes as no surprise that the seafood they serve is among the freshest you will find anywhere in the area.
Suttangrak Pattaya
The Suttangrak brand (which is very small and based mostly around Pattaya and the nearby towns) has won several national awards for being the best tourist restaurant. It is also extremely popular among local Thais for serving great seafood dishes, particularly the signature fried cabbage with fish sauce, steamed whole seabass in lime chilli broth or steamed blue crabs with dipping sauce, all of which are very reasonably priced.
Lungsawai Seafood
A very well-established local seafood restaurant, Lungsawai Seafood has been at the very southern end of Jomtien Beach Road for over 30 years now. It has a pleasant rustic style and enjoys a fresh sea breeze and views out over the Gulf of Thailand.
Rim Talay Seafood & Steak
Rim Talay has a great location on one of Pattaya’s best beaches, with tables set right on the sand as well as in the beach bar-style restaurant. The upper floor, by the car park, has all of the seafood laid out in a ‘market’, so you can see just how fresh it is and can choose your own fish, crab, prawns, lobster or other ingredients.
Kit Seafood
Kit Seafood is quite modest in size, but its design and atmosphere give it a great, easy-going, beach bar atmosphere. This effect perfectly complements its location right over the road from Jomtien Beach, as well as a menu heavy with barbecued seafood.
Pattaya Seafood
The name says it all, really. Located towards the coastal end of Thepprasit Road, the simple and very local-style restaurant is definitely in Pattaya and the menu mostly consists of Thai seafood dishes. The ingredients are fresh and well prepared by the friendly, English-speaking staff, with top dishes including the stir-fried mixed seafood for 150 baht, which is generously portioned and comes with a spicy Thai dipping sauce.
King Seafood
The longest-established of the seafood restaurants on Pattaya’s famous Walking Street, it also offers probably the best view over the bay. Being in such a tourist hotspot, some of the Thai dishes may have had their chilli level reduced and might not be ‘totally Thai’, but they are still very tasty.
Nang Nual Restaurant
Located on Walking Street, closer to the Bali Hai Pier end, Nang Nual Restaurant has both a seaside terrace on one side of the street, behind the tanks full of fresh seafood, with a larger dining area on the inland side.
Marine Seafood
Situated right next door to the famous Marine Disco, this is one of the cheaper Walking Street fresh seafood restaurants. Much like the others, it has a terrace at the back with views over Pattaya Bay, fresh ingredients on display in tanks by the entrance and a wide choice of Thai and international preparations.
