How we picked
Pattaya has thousands of places to eat, so we start with the inspectors. The MICHELIN Guide Thailand 2026 lists 27 restaurants in Chonburi province, with no stars and five Bib Gourmand awards for good food at a fair price. Below are the ones a group in Pattaya will actually want: one beach dinner, one easy Italian, and the local places the inspectors rate.
Want a table at any of them for the whole group? Ask Tanner.
Tanner books the table and the VIP van; for the night after, see Pattaya nightclubs.
Fish Club
Fish Club is the dinner by the sea. It's at Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach in Na Jomtien, on a quiet beach, with tables inside and out, and the MICHELIN Guide's pick is the seafood grilled over coconut husks with the signature peanut sriracha sauce. It's in the ฿฿฿ band, open from 11am to 10pm, and until midnight on Friday and Saturday, the guide says.
Who it's for: a group that wants a long seafood dinner with the sea in front of it. Tanner's pick for the first night. Ask Tanner to book the outside tables for sunset.
La Cucina
La Cucina is the easy Italian, also at Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach. The MICHELIN Guide describes a tropical garden setting, blue-and-white tiled floors and bossa nova, and says the handmade pizzas are the stand-out. It's listed as good for groups and opens daily from 11:30am to 10pm.
Who it's for: a group lunch that runs into the afternoon. Ask Tanner to put it after a boat day.
Lung Shall Kitchen
Lung Shall Kitchen is a small Thai place in Nong Prue with a Bib Gourmand, and the MICHELIN Guide singles out its stir-fried black squid ink. It's lunch only, 10:30am to 2pm, closed on Thursdays, and cash only, the guide says.
Who it's for: the friend who wants the real thing. Insider tip: it closes at 2pm, so go straight after the morning's plans, not after the beach. Ask Tanner to send the car for an early lunch.
Pladids
Pladids serves a Thai samrap, a shared set menu, with jasmine rice cooked with Thai wild almond, and holds a Bib Gourmand, the MICHELIN Guide says. It's in Pong, on Soi Marp Pra Chan, inland from the beach.
Who it's for: a group that wants to share a full Thai table, home-style. Ask Tanner to pair it with a day trip inland.
La Voi
La Voi is a Bib Gourmand beef noodle shop on Chaiyaphruek Road: premium beef in the broth and the toppings, from meatballs to different cuts, the MICHELIN Guide says. It's closed on Mondays, open 9am to 6pm Tuesday to Friday and 9am to 4:30pm at the weekend.
Who it's for: the morning after. Ask Tanner to send the car before it closes.
Two more Bib Gourmand picks
Krua Laew Tae R-Rom is a seafood place with a short menu that opens and closes with the day's catch, the MICHELIN Guide says, so it's a lucky-day pick. Khao Lam Mae Khai Toon Klao has been perfecting bamboo-cooked sticky rice with coconut milk for about 60 years, the guide says: the sweet stop on the road. Ask Tanner to check either one is open on your day.
Which restaurant is best for a group?
For a big dinner with a view, Fish Club. For a long, easy lunch, La Cucina. For Thai food the inspectors rate, Lung Shall Kitchen at lunch or Pladids for a shared table.
Tanner's pick for a group of 12: Fish Club at sunset on the first night, then a private chef at the villa on the second, from ฿11,500 a day, so nobody leaves the pool.

Dinner at the villa
Sometimes the best table in Pattaya is your own. A private chef cooks at your pool villa, and the party carries on after dinner, with no closing time at the bar. A private bartender is from ฿9,000 an evening, and a DJ with villa sound from ฿27,500 an evening. Ask Tanner to plan the menu with the chef.
Getting to dinner
Fish Club and La Cucina are in Na Jomtien, and Lung Shall Kitchen, Pladids and La Voi are inland, so take your own car and keep it waiting. Our luxury van with a driver is from ฿6,500 for 10 hours for up to 4 guests, and Tanner matches the cars to your plan. After dinner, the rooftop bars and the Pattaya nightclubs are a short drive away. Plan it with Tanner.
