The 10 Best Beachfront Restaurants in Pattaya (2026)

"Moom Aroi Na Kluea is what 'beachfront Thai seafood' means in Pattaya at its best."

The restaurant occupies a long stretch of Naklua waterfront - approximately 100 tables arranged in tiered seating sections that descend toward the sea, each with a clear view across the water and a constant cool breeze that the open layout funnels through. The fishing-village location of Naklua means the seafood is genuinely fresh - you can watc...

Order: Crab stir-fried with curry powder (poo phad pong karee), Whole fried sea bass with fish sauce, Scallops baked with butter and breadcrumb

"The Glass House Pattaya - now branded 'Glass House Boho' to distinguish from its newer sister branch 'Glass House Silver' in North Pattaya - is one of the city's most consistently lauded beachfront..."

The Boho location occupies a prime stretch of Na Chom Thian beach (the longer, quieter beachfront south of central Pattaya, technically in Sattahip district), with the dining room positioned directly on the sand and large picture windows that give the beach view to the indoor air-conditioned tables as well. The brand has expanded over the past d...

Order: Creamy Giant Prawn Tom Yum, Spaghetti Kee Mao Seafood (drunken-noodle-style), Spicy Crab Claws Mango Salad

"Cabbages & Condoms occupies a unique position in Thailand's restaurant scene: it's a serious Thai restaurant whose entire commercial existence funds social development work."

The restaurant chain was founded by Mechai Viravaidya - the Thai philanthropist and former politician known internationally as 'Mr. Condom' for his decades-long work normalizing contraception use and family planning in Thailand (a campaign credited with reducing the country's birth rate from 7 children per family to 1.5 over 40 years). Mechai's ...

Order: Whole roasted young mountain chicken (Northern Thai specialty), Tom yum goong with regional preparation, Larb (spiced minced meat salad - Isan tradition)

"Wine Connection is Pattaya's go-to casual wine destination - a Singapore-founded chain that has become a city staple thanks to a single defining commercial decision: bottle wine pricing roughly hal..."

In a city where restaurant wine markups typically run 3-5x retail, Wine Connection's 2x or under markup feels almost charitable. This pricing strategy isn't accidental - the chain operates as both restaurant and wine retailer, so the same bottle you drink with dinner can be purchased to take home at the same price (no corkage if drinking in - ju...

Order: Spanish paella, Charcuterie & cheese board, Wood-fired pizza Margherita

"Ming Xing brings Hong Kong fine-dining sensibility to a beachfront Pattaya setting - a combination that exists almost nowhere else in eastern Thailand."

The restaurant occupies a polished space inside the Cape Dara Beachfront Resort in Naklua, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Gulf, dark wood and red lacquer interiors, traditional Chinese ceramics on display shelves, and a tea ceremony station visible from the dining room. The kitchen is led by a Cantonese chef with experience at Hong Kon...

Order: All-you-can-eat dim sum buffet (weekends), Peking duck (advance order, for two), Steamed garoupa with ginger and scallion

"Rimpa Lapin is the iconic clifftop Thai restaurant carved into Pratumnak Hill, with terraced seating that drops dramatically toward Pattaya Bay."

Sunset is its hour. The menu is broad, accessible Thai - tom yum, green curry, deep-fried sea bass with three-flavor sauce - and while the food is solid rather than spectacular, the view alone earns its reputation. Go for golden hour, stay for the lights of the bay.

Order: Deep-fried sea bass with three-flavor sauce, Crab fried rice, Tom yum goong

"Infiniti is the all-day fine dining at Pullman G Pattaya in Wongamat, with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Gulf of Thailand and an open-kitchen concept covering Asian, Mediterranean, sushi, and g..."

The Sunday brunch is one of three top-tier Pattaya brunches. A la carte at dinner is excellent value for hotel-quality cooking. The space is contemporary luxury - clean lines, sea light, no kitsch.

Order: Sunday Champagne brunch, Live grill platter, Sushi & sashimi

"Marco's Restaurant has been doing the same thing on Pattaya Beach Road since the late 1990s, and that consistency is the reason it has outlasted dozens of trendier competitors."

The owner, Marco Rossi, is an Italian who came to Pattaya in the mid-1990s and never left. He runs the kitchen, occasionally checks tables, and personally assembles wine recommendations for regulars. The restaurant has expanded twice but kept its identity: a proper trattoria menu, fair prices, no fusion gimmicks.

Order: Pizza margherita, Spaghetti alle vongole, Fettuccine bolognese

"Bacco Beach delivers what its name promises: a beachfront Italian restaurant on the Na Jomtien sand with proper trattoria food."

Wood-fired pizzas, fresh pasta, grilled seafood, and a focused Italian wine list. The setting is the draw - low wooden tables, fairy lights, and a soundtrack of waves. Sunset is mandatory.

Order: Wood-fired pizza Napoletana, Linguine alle vongole, Grilled prawns with garlic

"St."

Petersburg Cafe occupies one of the best stretches of Jomtien Beach, smack in the middle of the main beach road, with tables set on actual sand under thatched shade. It's been there for over a decade, running quietly while flashier competitors have come and gone. The menu is genuine Russian home cooking, calibrated to expat tastes rather than to...

Order: Borscht with smetana, Pelmeni in butter and dill, Beef stroganoff
