Jomtien Beach Restaurants
Where and What to Eat in Jomtien Beach
There are many places to eat in Jomtien. That said, the range of food on offer isn’t quite as diverse or delectable as in Pattaya Beach. No-frills expatriate run restaurants and bars serving European and Thai cuisine abound. Swiss, British, German, Dutch, Indian, Chinese and Russian it’s all here. Along the busy northern seafront parade are lots of seafood restaurants. And every hotel has a restaurant or two catering to its guests and visitors.
Ironically some of the best food is to be had on the beach. Laze beneath a deck chair and umbrella while your vendor whisks Thai snacks straight to your plastic table. 'Tom yam talay'soup, 'pad Thai', spicy seafood salads and more. It's invariably cheap, usually delicious and you can enjoy uninterrupted sea views while eating!
Boathouse Wine and Grill
As its name suggests, this restaurant specializes in delicious grill dishes and has a vast range of wines to choose from. Some dishes worth ordering are sirloin steak, a huge platter of surf and turf with giant tiger prawns, spare ribs, fried mussels in garlic butter and crab meat balls.
