Visitors and residents alike benefit from the competition among restaurants in Pattaya that offer more or less authentic fare from various European nations.

Le Bordeaux is open every day except Wednesday from 6:00 to 11:00 PM, but service of the set menus finishes at 9:30; reservations can be made at the more than tasty web site. Bon appétit!
