NEW RESTAURANT REVIEW
Aroma offers so much for so little for fans of Indian Cuisine. This is the hottest curry spot in Pattaya’s coolest location. What a venue to relax and enjoy a great meal whilst you take in the water views out over the bay. Offering a variety of authentic dishes from a number of regions of India, you can soak up the Indian hospitality in a modern and relaxed setting that will delight your taste buds and senses. Featuring a superb daily buffet for both lunch and dinners services, for only 200 Baht this is value dining at its best! Really, a full buffet with huge choices for only 200 Baht per head. For that price and with this quality on offer, why would you cook at home? An a la carte menu is also available, but give the buffet a run first. Whether it be for a quiet meal for 2 or a function for 250 plus, Aroma will satisfy your spice cravings in this incredibly popular venue, where bookings are essential! Do yourself a favour and book in advance to avoid showing up to a full house. Aroma caters to many large private functions that fill its 3 large dining section. Located on the water’s edge at the end of Soi 18 Naklua. Open daily from midday until 4:00pm for lunch and 7:00pm until 11:00pm for dinner. Visit their Facebook page at fb.com/AromaRestaurantPattaya or call 0800 604 611 for reservations.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Is The Punch & Judy the best Traditional English Pub in Pattaya? Many Pattaya residents and regular visitors rate “The Punch” as their favourite English Pub in this city. So what makes The Punch so popular with the punters? Is the food? Is it the friendly staff? Is it the great value for money? Probably all of the above, plus the atmosphere that makes you feel at home only moments after you first walk through the door. One of most popular features of The Punch that keeps bringing the customers back is their fully plated traditional Sunday roast served with all the trimmings and a whole lot more. What are you doing next Sunday? Come down and taste for yourself a Sunday roast that your Mum would be proud to serve on any table. In addition, the expansive menu offers generous portions of British, European and Thai cuisines packed with flavour at prices that will have you coming back regularly. Great food, great staff and great atmosphere! But it does not stop there regular live sporting events form around the globe in a true sports environment, in your local pub! Then there is the live band to top it all off on Friday nights to get you in the mood for the weekend. If you or a friend is coming for a visit needs a quality place to stay that won’t break the budget but has all of the comforts of home and then some, The Punch has 6 luxuriously appointed guest rooms that will tempt you to stay an extra day or two. See you there for their Happy Hour from 3:00pm to 7:00pm daily. Located on Soi 8 off Thepprasit Road, Pattaya. Open daily 09:00 until late. The Punch & Judy. Your English Pub in Pattaya. 18 THE PATTAYA GUIDE TO EATING OUT Restaurant Review

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Acquapazza is the benchmark for authentic Neapolitan style Italian cuisine in Pattaya. From your very first visit you quickly realise what this venue has so much to offer for incredibly reasonable prices. It is not possible to prepare this quality for the same price at home. Really! Why am I only just finding about this place now? Your host and chef Giovanni will spoil you with a huge selection of Italian favourites cooked the old fashioned way, with passion and only the finest natural ingredients combined in the way that it has been for generations. Nothing is rushed and no shortcuts taken. This is done the traditional way, just for you to truly appreciate of the quality of true Neapolitan style Italian food and hospitality. Whether it is a crispy pizza for a light meal or multi course Italian banquet that you desire, put down the menu and just give Giovanni a hint at what you enjoy and let him create a meal that would impress an Italian Grandmother. Specializing in fresh seafood, the menu boasts live Canadian lobsters, air flown tuna from the Maldives and a host of locally caught treasures from the sea. A must have is the seafood soup. Just try it! This dish alone will keep you coming back. Located in front of Treetops Condominium complex on Thapphaya Road, close to the intersection with Pratumnak Road, open Thursday to Tuesday from 15:00 until 23:30. Check out their Facebook page: Acquapazzapattaya or call 033 64 19 17 for reservations.

PUB & BAR DINING
With thousands of expats and foreign tourists in Pattaya it is no surprise to find lots of pubs and bars. Most pubs will have all the live sports you could hope for and unlike many parts of the world there is no limit to the amount of sport displayed at any one time so expect to find lots of TV’s when you enter. Food in these establishments are often very well priced, excellent quality and large portions. If you don’t fancy the local Thai food then the pubs and bars are for you. These are the Pubs and Bars you should try: Aroi Pub Resto

Although they are very popular there isn’t normally a need to book as each restaurants can accommodate hundreds of customers and there are plenty to restaurants to choose from These are the restaurants you should try in this area: 01 JF Kitchen & Bar
