The lineage of the new chef is steeped in gastronomic history his forebears having been chefs at the legendary Windamere Hotel in Darjeeling. Chef Simon Lepchu is now in residence at [...]
As soon as we entered Cosy Pool we loved it! The décor is simply stunning and the setting suitably snazzy. Tucked away in a small Soi in Jomtien (see exact location below), it might take a little effort to find but once found Mick and I are sure you’ll be visiting again and again.
Enter through [...]

What could be nicer than a long, languid Sunday brunch/lunch at one of Pattaya’s finest restaurants? Not much, we think. So, when we were invited to visit Casa Pascal’s celebrated brunch buffet we leapt at the chance to be cosseted and indulged in this most esteemed culinary establishment.
