Gaybutton Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I really cannot call this a restaurant "find" because it's been there for over a year already and many of you have already tried it. Last night I finally tried it too. I'm sorry I waited so long. Everything about this restaurant is superb. The food is excellent, the staff perfectly trained and attentive without being overbearing, beautiful ambiance, and a marvelous dining experience. For smokers, they even have a separate dining room just for you. Rather than try to describe everything, I'm going to refer you to their web site at: Alois Restaurant What they don't have on their web site is their nightly set menu. Last night the choices were a fish, pork, or steak dish. 550 baht for the fish or pork dish. 750 for the steak dish (Australian imported prime beef). My friend was charged 70 baht for a soft drink. I drank only bottled water and was not charged for it. There is no imposed 10% tip. The tip amount is your decision. The set menu includes an amuse bouche, starter, soup, sherbet, main course, dessert, and coffee or tea. Their bread basket contains an assortment of different breads and 'crunchies.' If you finish off the basket, the waiter is right there offering more. We each tried the pork dish and loved it. This is one restaurant I highly recommend putting on your "must" list when visiting Pattaya. My only regret is failing to have tried it before last night, but we're definitely going to make up for that mistake. We'll be there often. I think, once most of you try it, you'll be doing the same.

Guest lvdkeyes Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 We have eaten there several times and I can vouch for GB's review. It is very high on my list of favorite Pattaya restaurants. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I agree entirely, even though I only ate there one time last April. Quote
Guest RichLB Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I rarely suggest restaurants because everyone's tastes are different and getting blasted for liking one place over another isn't that uncommon. But, even the most critical person would end up raving over Alois. It's really a fantastic restaurant. Quote
Guest TOQ Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 I have thought about going there on several occasions but haven't because every time I ride by there is no one there. On a couple of occasions the staff were standing outside. This has been around 845P - 915P Quote
Gaybutton Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 every time I ride by there is no one there. That's what we thought too, until we were inside. Apparently people park on the street, although they do have a small parking lot. Also it's right on a baht bus route, so people probably get there that way too. We arrived about 7:30pm. Only three tables were occupied. By the time we left, many more tables were occupied. Not bad for low season. Quote

Not bad for low season. Actually, I counted. When we left there were only three vacant tables in the main non-smoking room. I wanted to add for those of us who smoke, there is a smoking room with full air conditioning - a real treat for us addicted smokers. I also noticed there was a nice mix of both gay and non-gay patrons. I can't wait to go back! Quote
Guest HeyGay Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Bravo, I have been bleating on about this Restaurant since its conception when the senior waiters all left BRUNOS Restaurant, to open this TOP Rated Gourmet Restaurant. Try the Kobe Japanese steak, its melts in your mouth; the varied menu knocks most other restaurants including Casa Pascal into the water. For quality and value. www.aloispattaya.com Quote
