The 10 Best Wine Bars & Wine Lists in Pattaya (2026)

"Casa Pascal is the rare Pattaya restaurant that has earned its reputation through 25 years of consistent operation under the same ownership - a feat almost unique in a city with ferocious restauran..."

Swiss chef Pascal Schnyder and his Korean wife Kim opened the doors on March 17, 2001 on Pattaya 2nd Road, directly opposite Royal Garden Plaza. The restaurant celebrated its silver jubilee with a special anniversary event on March 28, 2026 - a milestone that itself should be the headline of any honest Pattaya restaurant review (the city has had...

Order: Pascal's signature Cannelloni - pasta rolls with meat sauce, baked with white cheese sauce, Tuesday-Sunday Seafood & BBQ Grill Buffet (17:00-21:00), Daily breakfast/brunch buffet (385 THB) - eggs and pancakes made to order

"Cafe des Amis sits in the upper tier of Thai fine dining outside Bangkok - a restaurant that would be considered serious in any major capital and is genuinely exceptional in a city that's not famou..."

Chef Henrik Pyndt Sorensen runs the kitchen with the discipline of a European Michelin alumnus, and the restaurant has held that consistency for over a decade. The space itself is small and deliberately so: 50 seats across the main dining room with a few private nooks, dark wood paneling, white linen, single-stem flowers per table, and lighting ...

Order: 5-course tasting menu with wine pairing, Pan-seared foie gras with caramelized apple, Hokkaido scallops with truffle butter (in season)

"Bruno's Restaurant & Wine Bar holds a specific historical title in Pattaya's restaurant scene: it was the city's first independent fine-dining restaurant when it opened in 1996, predating Cafe des ..."

The restaurant was co-founded by two Swiss-European hospitality veterans - Alois Fassbind and Bruno Forrer - with their head chef Chef Fredi as the kitchen's culinary anchor. Nearly 30 years later, the same trio still anchors the operation. Located at 306/63 Chateau Dale Plaza on Thappraya Road in South Pattaya / Jomtien, the restaurant occupies...

Order: 6-Course Wine Pairing Dinner, Tenderloin of Beef on Gratin Potatoes (signature since 1996), Oven-Baked Parrot Fish Filet

"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

"The Royal Grill Room and Wine Cellar represents a specific and increasingly rare style of Pattaya fine dining: the grand-hotel European-classical experience with the institutional formality, deep w..."

Located at the Royal Cliff Hotels Group on Pratumnak Hill (353 Phra Tamnak Road), the restaurant has earned the title 'best restaurant in Eastern Seaboard' from multiple guides and holds Chaîne des Rôtisseurs accreditation - the international gastronomic society's recognition reserved for restaurants that meet specific standards of quality cuisi...

Order: Chateaubriand for two carved tableside, 5-course set menu (changes monthly), Lobster Thermidor

"If you've eaten in a proper Greek taverna in Athens, Plaka, or any Aegean island, Mythos will feel like home."

The owner-chef is Greek, originally from Athens, and brought a kitchen sensibility shaped by decades of Greek cooking culture: ingredients matter, simplicity matters, fire matters. The menu has the hits you'd expect - moussaka, pastitsio, souvlaki, gyros, Greek salad - but each is executed with attention rather than perfunctory effort. Moussaka ...

Order: Layered-to-order moussaka, Charcoal-grilled octopus, Lamb kleftiko

"Gian's has been the gold standard for Italian fine dining in Pattaya since 2006."

Located in the Chateau Dale Complex on Thappraya Road, the menu is classical northern Italian - homemade pasta, osso buco, branzino al sale, and an impressive wine list focused on Italian regions. The space is elegant without being stiff. Reliable for special occasions and consistently the answer to 'where's the best Italian in Pattaya?'

Order: Homemade tagliolini al tartufo, Osso buco alla milanese, Branzino al sale

"Manhattans is Pattaya's most credible American-style steakhouse - dim lighting, leather banquettes, jazz on the speakers, and a serious lineup of imported and domestic steaks including dry-aged USD..."

The wine list leans American, and the bar mixes proper martinis. Side dishes are classics done right (creamed spinach, mac and cheese, hash browns). For when you want a Don Draper night.

Order: Dry-aged USDA prime ribeye, Wagyu A5 tasting, Surf and turf

"Mata Hari is the kind of restaurant Pattaya regulars guard jealously."

Set on Pratumnak Hill in a converted Thai-European villa, the dining experience here is closer to a small Michelin-recommended European bistro than anything you'd expect to find in a beach city often dismissed for its food scene. The owner, a long-tenured European chef who relocated to Thailand in the 2000s, treats the menu the way an old-school...

Order: Pan-seared foie gras with port reduction, Aged ribeye with green peppercorn sauce, Beef bourguignon

"Cherry Tree is what happens when an Italian moves to Thailand, marries a Thai woman, and instead of opening a generic 'Italian-Thai fusion' place, opens a restaurant aggressively committed to doing..."

Located on a quiet Naklua side street, the restaurant has built its reputation slowly and through word of mouth - it's not on the typical tourist circuit, doesn't market aggressively on Instagram, and is mostly populated by Italian and German expats and a small but loyal Thai clientele. The pasta is the star. Hand-rolled and hand-cut daily, you ...

Order: Tagliolini al tartufo nero, Osso buco alla milanese, Margherita pizza from wood oven
