I'm not in Pattaya right now and can't check personally, but an informed source tells me Chunky Monkey has dropped the starter and dessert from the special offer, but allows the choice of two meats.

Evil Penevil Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 After an atrocious Christmas dinner in 2016, Hooters is this year sticking to what it does best: booze, calendars and attractive waitresses. Santa Penevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as per the photo posted. The price has remained the same as was previously shown for the main course only, with the starter and sweet being optional extras priced seperately.

For the barbecue for the fireworks display earlier this yearI paid 1412 baht per person with a discount that I get. That did not include drinks. Expensive by Pattaya standards but excellent. That is significantly less than what they are asking for Christmas Eve, let along the 6000 baht for new year. Likely to be Mai Thai for the New Yearand Watch the fireworks from Beach Road.

To continue the Scandinavian theme: Livv on th Darkside and Akvavit in Jomtien: Here's a translation of the Akvavit Christmas Eve menu: "Akvavit's Christmas buffet showcases a giant and traditional Christmas buffet with lots of delights! The 24th of December: "First session 17:30 to 20:00 and second session 20:30 until late! Price 1,450 Baht and for children under 13, 800 Baht. We offer mulled wine and gingerbread cookies on arrival.

Evil Penevil Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If any of you don't like turkey or left booking a seat at popular restaurant for Christmas Dinner too long, the Beefeater on Soi Diana could be an alternative if you favor steak. Beefeater is serving its normal menu from 5 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. (kitchen closes at 11 p.m., restaurant closes at midnight) on Dec. 24 and 25.

Evil Penevil Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) We are getting into "last minute" territory, so a few final suggestions: That's a pretty impressive buffet, especially the mains and dessert, for 870 baht. I may try it on Christmas Eve. Gian's in Jomtien has a two-week special menu (text from a pic on another board): Christmas Special 2018 from December 16th to 30th Soup Lentil Soup with Capsicum and cumin 390 b Home made Tortellini in broth, stuffed with turkey and truffle mortadella 480 b Pasta Home made Ravioli Stuffed with Turkey, Patanegra ham and topped with white truffle sauce 880 b Main Course Sliced pork Leg with Boiled Lentils and mashed potatoes 680 b Sliced Roasted Turkey with Liver, Cashew nuts and Risotto Taleggio 980 b Grilled Tomahawk steak served with Roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables 680 b Grilled Tiger prawns with garlic served with Spaghetti garlic, oil, chili and fresh cherry tomatoes 880 b Cheeses Selection of special cheeses from Italy 780 b Hefty prices, but Gian's turns out quality meals. And one in Na Jomtien and one for those who don't care about Christmas Dinner. BonChon is better than KFC!

Evil Penevil Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'm going to update this thread for 2019. The restaurants mentioned for 2018 will be offering Christmas dinners this year, too. Two Pattaya classics, Nicky's and the Sportsman. Two in Jomtien: A Taste of Norway is the old Linda's in Jomtien under new management. The ad names the traditional Norwegian dishes on offer at the buffet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Penevil Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 And for those who don't care about turkey or Christmas pudding, you have the Hungry Hippo dinner at an extremely low price. According to a friend who had a similar meal at the Chunky Monkey when Robin was running it last year, portions were large and it was great value for money. But in my eyes, it's not Christmas dinner without turkey and Christmas pudding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The Robin Hood Tavern is offering Christmas Eve and Christmas Day lunch and dinner. I sent them a message asking if the prices and menu were the same both days. Here's the answer: "Yes the menu and the price are exactly the same we hadn’t planned on doing a Xmas eve dinner in all honesty but have been suprised by requests by customers to book for Xmas eve so we’re offering exactly the same package. If you’d be interested in booking please let me know and we can add you to the reservations list many thanks." Christmas Eve costs 999 baht and Christmas Day is 1,199 baht, but early birds who book by Dec. 20 with get a discount (850 b on Xmas Eve, 999 baht on Xmas Day). Children under 5 eat free.

Evil Penevil Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) The best value-for-money Christmas dinner in town is the all-you-can-eat buffet at Chik-N-Coop bar in the beer bar complex diagonally across the street from Mike's Mall on 2nd Road. It costs 500 baht. It's a U.S.-style dinner with American touches like different kinds of stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and green bean casserole as well as roast turkey and ham, mashed potatoes, veggies, etc. All the food is in the best tradition of home cooking. Thai dishes are on offer for wives and girl friends who aren't fans of farang meals. Coop has a very loyal following for his holiday buffets and Christmas dinner is sold out every year. If it sounds good, get your ticket ASAP. A couple of things to note: there are cookies, candy and homemade fudge for dessert but no Christmas pudding or pie. It's also open-air dining on folding tables and plastic chairs. Another inexpensive option is the Devonshire on Soi Lengkee. If you want to fill up on turkey and the trimmings at Coop's, you could go to the Devonshire for Christmas pudding.
