The 10 Best Seafood 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

"Mantra opened in 2005 and has spent the next two decades becoming the standard against which other Pattaya restaurants are measured."

The restaurant occupies a sprawling space at the Amari Pattaya on Beach Road, with the dining room organized around six visible cooking stations - Japanese sushi/sashimi/robata, Indian tandoor and curry, Chinese dim sum and wok, Italian wood-fired pizza and pasta, Mediterranean charcoal grill, and a raw seafood bar. The format is unusual: rather...

Order: Sunday Champagne brunch (10:00-15:00), Tandoori mixed grill platter from the live tandoor, Wood-fired Margherita pizza

"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

"Edge sits on Level 14 of the Hilton Pattaya - the hotel's all-day dining flagship and one of Pattaya's most consistently praised hotel buffets."

The Hilton itself occupies the top of the Central Festival mall complex on Beach Road, which means the building is taller than its floor count suggests (the mall floors below are themselves substantial), and Level 14 actually delivers genuine bay views from a real elevation. The restaurant is divided into two dining environments: an air-conditio...

Order: Saturday + Sunday Weekend Brunch (12:00-15:00, ~1,400-1,500 THB), 7 Days 7 Themes Buffet by the Bay (evening, rotating theme), Premium Seafood Buffet (selected evenings)

"Goji Kitchen Grill & Bar is the signature all-day-dining flagship at Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa - and a useful correction case study for my data project: my previous entry for this venue calle..."

The restaurant occupies the main dining space at Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa, the Marriott group's beachfront property in central Pattaya. The Weekend Dinner Buffet is the venue's signature offering: every Friday and Saturday from 18:00-22:00, priced at THB 1,488++ per person (food only - the ++ adding service charge and VAT brings it to app...

Order: Weekend Dinner Buffet (Friday & Saturday 18:00-22:00, 1,488++ THB), Signature Goji beef noodles, Prime meat carving station (prime rib, roast beef)

"Amir Halal Food is the answer to a specific question: 'where can a halal-observing visitor eat genuine Thai seafood in Pattaya without compromise?' The Pattaya Muslim halal-observant visitor market..."

Amir Halal Food was founded by a Pattaya Muslim family specifically to fill this gap. The restaurant occupies a sizable South Pattaya location at 60 Moo 10 South Pattaya Road, with both indoor air-conditioned dining and a large covered outdoor section. The seafood program is the centerpiece.

Order: Halal tom yum goong with fresh prawns, Crab stir-fried with curry powder (poo phad pong karee), Whole fried sea bass

"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

"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

"Ron Beach is a beloved Naklua seafood spot where you pick your fish and shellfish live from tanks at the entrance, then choose a cooking style from the Thai-Chinese menu."

The vibe is locals-and-expats-only, the prices are fair, and the seafood quality consistently beats more touristy beachfront places. Lobster is the move when in season, but the steamed sea bass with lime never misses.

Order: Steamed sea bass with lime and chili, Stir-fried prawns with garlic and pepper, Grilled rock lobster
