Guest lvdkeyes Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 A friend, my bf and I tried a restaurant tonight that was suggested to me. It is the only restaurant in Pattaya that serves Indonesian food that I know of. It is a nicely, simply decorated place that looks like it was a private home at one time. The service was relaxed professional and the food was very tasty. We ordered the Rice Table which was supposed to be for two, but it was more than enough for the three of us. Their Rice Table consists of rice and 14 small dishes. We all had water to drink and we had 2 coffees and 2 desserts. The total bill was 1460 baht. It is worth a visit. I forgot to mention that the chef (cute Indonesian guy) came to our table to be sure that everything was satisfactory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gado-gado, nasi goereng, nasi campur, chicken satay? All of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their specialty is the Rice Table, which is what we went for, but I did notice gado-gado on the menu. Chicken and beef satay were part of the Rice Table.

Guest Astrrro Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Gado-gado, nasi goereng, nasi campur, chicken satay? If gado gado and nasi goering floats your boat then next time Air Asia has a sale book a flight to Bali. You might even be able to get one for not much more than 1400 baht. These dishes cost about 40-50 baht and are delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2lz2p Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have eaten there a few times. Yes, they do have Gado-gado - was quite good, in my opinion. They also have one of my favorites Rendang Daging (slow cooked beef in a spicy curry sauce - pot roast with a "kick"). The Rice Table is their specialty, but they have several other Indonesian dishes as well as Western and Thai dishes. The Indonesian chef (part owner, I believe) is nice and usually visits the table. He said that the 14 dishes are not always the same, depends on what he can get at the market. The western dishes are cooked by the other owner, who is Australian - steaks are imported Australian beef. Both owners are very nice and, I believe, the two of them are also partners in more than just the business sense. They also have Thai food prepared by a Thai cook. The waiters are generally attentive and, although I think they are gay, are not flirtatious (e.g., Mags and L'Olivier). Not the easiest place to get to. It is located on Theppresit Soi 8 - going from Thappraya to Sukhumvit, make a left turn onto Soi 8 and it is a few hundred meters on your right. If driving, you can park at the Car Wash, which will be on the left a very short distance before the restaurant. The name of the restaurant is Villa Bali.

PattayaMale Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 One of the great things about this board in my opinion is the restaurant suggestions posters have. I think I have tried each one that has been recommended. I might never have found any of these if people hadn't posted about them. So next week it wil be off to Villa Bali.

Actually, if you go onto Soi 10 when coming from Thrappaya Rd then a left again it is shorter. Check out the map I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zzrichard Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I believe we were there the same evening...the noisy bunch of 8 at the gazebo. The food was great and the service outstanding. Charlie and Andy are great hosts. Here is their url and a few pics we took. http://www.indo-lavillabali-pattaya.com/Menus.html I'll add the pics when I figure out how! Had one more pic to add, but ran out of room... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lvdkeyes Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I believe we were there the same evening. We were there on Wednesday of this week. We ate inside in A/C room. It was very quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
