Michelin’s Fresh Catch
Pattaya

Boutique eatery Krua Laew Tae R-Rom jumped into the national spotlight this year when the Michelin Guide Thailand was extended to cover Chon Buri.

Tucked away in Pattaya’s Soi Yume neighbourhood, the all-white restaurant creates its menu around what local fishermen bring to shore every morning. The catch is transformed into delicious dishes using homemade curry pastes and flavourings – think Triggerfish Red Curry, and crab, shrimp, clams and fresh fish sizzling on the grill. For a succulent turf-based option, try the signature Sour Beef Curry.

However, the delectable offerings at reasonable prices mean the restaurant is almost always full. Diners are advised to reserve a table at least one week in advance.
