A cozy restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Despite being fully booked, the staff was incredibly friendly and quickly found us a great table with a view. The cod was exceptional — incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, as if it had just been caught. The cheesy mashed potatoes were more than just a side — creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. The green tea was served quickly and brewed just right, warming us up after a walk. You can feel they truly care about their guests and know how to cook. I’ll definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a pleasant setting. Nice place with a nice view. Fancy place, food was awesome even if it’s a little too expensive! A deeply disappointing dinner — and an even worse response. I am Pascal Schnyder, professional chef and owner of Casa Pascal in Pattaya, Thailand. Our waitress was warm, the bread excellent, and the wine list impressive (even Château d’Yquem by the glass). Sadly, that’s where the praise ends. An eight-item menu is meagre for international diners, and what arrived was worse: my fish soup was lukewarm, and the fishcake inside released a vile, fresh-diarrhoea stench. My wife—usually braver than I am—tasted it and agreed it was inedible. From the open kitchen came visible shrugs and a dismissive line along the lines of “nothing wrong with it.” My main course, the stockfish also had sligthly off-odours. With that rotten fishcake taste still on my tongue, I couldn’t eat another bite. Then the bill arrived: they charged for the rotten soup—and even prompted for a tip. Utterly shameful. How I run my own restaurant 1.) I would never serve a stinky dish like that. 2.) If a customer would complain, AND not eat that dish, I would ask if we could serve something else instead. 3.) I would never have the rudeness of charging the price for a rotten dish which was not even eaten by the guest 4.) I would apologize myself

The fish was not clean properly , I found intestines and there is nothing worst than this .. the crab sauce was super salty but if you combine all the ingredients together was just ok .. the veggies were almost uncooked .. The vegetarian dumplings was quite boring .. the feeling was just mushroom and nothing else .. the asparagus was not peeled .. the lentil under the dumplings was too much garlic and the mouth was smelling bad .. The dessert supposed to be chocolate cremeux but we received something that they thought is Cremeux and nothing special the rest .. Butter was just okay .. bread was cold .. The chefs were touching the meat then veggies and the fishes without gloves .. The waitress ask us if we want to drink something and we said just water and she brought us water that we had to pay 89 kr around 8 euro for WATER , instead of asking us if we mean tap water or new bottle of water .. In general the expectations were low but after the visiting came even lower .. 2 main course and one dessert + water 90 euro ..

We ordered stockfish soup, vegetarian dumplings, fish of the day (Monkfish) and Panna Cotta. The menu is short, but there is an option for everyone. The food was delicious: vibrant presentations, fresh ingredients and yummy flavours. The service and chef accommodated our dietary restrictions flawlessly. Overall, highly recommended and very well worth another visit.
