An inside interview into Pattaya’s Eating Out industry Pelle Pettersson from Akvavit Grill & Bar gives his answers to our questions on what it’s like to run a restaurant in a competitive place like Pattaya Q How long have you been at Akvavit? A It’s almost 7 years now, and I look forward to another 7 years. Q Tell us about yourself? A Over 35 years in the restaurant business, working all over the world, including a Michelin star restaurant in New York. Q Best day of the week? A Can be any day, hard to answer, but of course the weekends. Q Biggest spender? A Norwegians. They like good food and drink, and spend on quality spirits. Q Your favourite dish? A Beef Tartare and my favourite Thai dish would have to be Tom Ka Gai. Q Most popular item on the menu? A Argentinian Beef Tenderloin 690 baht, probably the best value in the area. Q Biggest problems? A Staff excuses always make problems, we know they’re trying it on, you’d never believe how many sick relatives, funerals, weddings… I’m sure many restaurant owners have the same issue with staff. Q Best part of the day? A When the bar and restaurant is full, the atmosphere is superb. Q Sum up your restaurant in 3 words A Atmosphere. Relaxing. Service.

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

RESTAURANT REVIEW
Sunny’s is lighting up the Darkside with a family-friendly establishment that has lots to offer for tourists & expats. There are few places in Pattaya that are truly family friendly, as in having kids run around when you’re wanting a quiet meal, or relax with friends having a drink. Sunny’s is a massive venue in East Pattaya, which can reached by Soi 9 Khao Noi or Soi 24 Nernplubwarn. There are plenty of signs along the road to get you there if you’re not familiar with the area. However, Sunny’s was intentionally placed here for the size of venue and it’s proximity to many villages where expats and Thais live. In our opinion, this is a great location which also offers a very spacious car park at the rear accessible by two side roads. If you have young kids, this place is for you. With over 800m2 of outdoor play area, 60m2 of aircon play room to boot plus a kids menu with items all priced at 95 baht. They also offer kid portions on the main menu, and the price is halved. Onto the food and drink, they have a standard menu for the aircon bar & dining area plus they have an aircon steakhouse with steaks cooked to order, plus they offer Indian, Chinese and Med dishes and buffets, not forgetting the Issan-style kitchen outside to keep the Thai wives and girlfriends happy, who can watch over the kids playing in the sandpit or the paddling pool. They have a good selection of draught beers and ciders, fully stocked bar. You can also choose to sit and watch the world go by at their terrace bar. Sunny’s is an impressive setup, it’s scale is huge and their concept unique for Pattaya, we recommend you take the time to make a visit. It’s only 10 minutes drive from Central Pattaya, and it’s a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few hours. For more information visit fb.com/SunnysRestaurantAndBar 28
