2. Royal Grill Room & Wine Cellar
Western Cuisine, only restaurant in Thailand has a wine cellar, Expensive
This is a well-defined western restaurant certified by the French International Food Association. The restaurant offers grilled food, European dishes, and special wine cellars for delicious wines. Food is the biggest highlight. I would highly recommend imported meat and seafood, especially steak. The meat is tender and juicy. In addition, this is the only restaurant in Thailand that has a wine cellar. Of course the price here is not cheap in order to give you the best atmosphere, food, service, and drinks.

6. The Glass House
Thai Seafood, International, Wonderful ocean and sunset view, Expensive
The majority of the choices available are the Thai seafood but still has many western and international choices since the menu has over 170 items. This includes crisp-fried sea bass with sweet fish sauce, rock lobster with garlic, and grouper fillet with black pepper. Costing between 200 and 500 baht per dish, the prices are a little higher than the average for Thai food in Pattaya, but are still surprisingly affordable for such good quality. I would say that The Glass House is one of the best Thai seafood restaurants in town. It's pricey but a lovely location for sun set.

7. Mata Hari
European, Thai, Affordable
An exquisite fine dining eatery, the reputation of Mata Hari is well-known throughout Pattaya. Although this is not the cheapest dining experience, it is a superb restaurant with a good selection of European and Thai cuisine. The wine list is comprehensive and not too over-priced. The food is freshly cooked to order and is of very high standard. Like its namesake, much of Mata Hari's fare is of Dutch origin, but with influences from around Europe. There is also a top-class Thai menu available, containing the same quality ingredients and expert preparation. With a choice of an intimate interior or tranquil al fresco seating, Mata Hari creates an exotic, romantic experience – also much like its namesake.

Thai, Affordable
The Sugar Hut Restaurant is a restaurant for anyone who looks for a traditional Thai meal in pleasant surroundings. As part of the Sugar Hut Resort, this restaurant is set at the heart of a small forest, giving it a sense of seclusion and remoteness, despite it being in the middle of the city. The food is excellent, and so does the service.

9. King Seafood
Thai Seafood, Affordable
The longest-established of the seafood restaurants on Pattaya's famous Walking Street, it also offers probably the best view over the bay. King Seafood has a very nice view, excellent and fresh seafood, and fun live music. Being in such a tourist hotspot, some of the Thai dishes may have their chilli level reduced and might not be 'totally Thai', but they are still very tasty.

10. Marine Seafood
Thai Seafood, Affordable
Situated right next door to the famous Marine Disco, this is one of the cheaper Walking Street fresh seafood restaurants. It is an open air restaurant. Although it is open-air, the environment is very good and the staff is very warm. It is an underrated seafood restaurant. It serves fantastically fresh first class food at the most reasonable prices. If you are reading this, don't hesitate to give a try.

11. Flying Vegetables Restaurant
Thai, Super Affordable
If you think that everything in Pattaya is overpriced, Flying Vegetables Restaurant will totally change your mind. Firstly, this is not a vegan restaurant, but it does have plenty of vegan choice. Flying Vegetable Restaurant Pattaya has a setup very similar to many of the street food vendors of the town, with simple gas stoves in the kitchen alongside displays of the ingredients in use, with the food served on plastic plates and metal tables. It has an extensive range of Thai, seafood, and Chinese dishes that are hygiene, authentic, and delicious. Service is attentive, and serving is reasonably fast.
