A 9 Course Culinary Odyssey

Crafted by Chef Alex at The Globe’s Heritage

We pride ourselves on discovering new places for our readers and this month we have surely found you the ultimate Hidden Gem in Pattaya. If you are driving to the Globe’s Heritage restaurant (and with the amazing cocktails and wine cellar at this restaurant I would advise against it) you can phone ahead. They will send someone to Pattaya Soi 7 to take care of your parking and bring an umbrella to escort you if it is raining.There are also rooms and a fabulous roof top bar to experience here so you may just want to extend your stay after your superlative dining experience.

Once inside you will find a marvelously well stocked bar where for my next visit I aim to treat myself to another Emerald Yukuza …They also take their wines very seriously as Mats the joint owner here proudly shows a wine cooler that has 4 different temperature settings.He teamed up with Chef Alex because they both have a vision of really bringing culinary excellence to us here in Pattaya. The theme, as the name suggests, is food inspired from all over the world yet for me it was the simplest things done extremely well that make this restaurant so special. Everything here is made in house, the homemade butter alone is worth the visit but you must resist the temptation to fill up on bread as there are 9 remarkable courses to enjoy.

Just one example and a stand out starter for me, was the Tuna Tataki with premium Akami tuna loin pickle,apple gel,abruga caviar and a fragrant truffle Yuzu Kosho Vinaigrette. It also comes with the full theatrical experience being served in a mist of dry ice. Also the Risotto which combines both Italian and Thai inspiration comprising Jasmine rice rather than the usual Arborio under delicious prawns and even an edible grill. Pan-seared foie gras, Wagyu Short rib from Issab with a delightful red curry, Chicken with Yoghurt sauce. Even Bacalao with wild caught Norwegian salted cod and crispy salmon skin. Every dish is both beautiful on the eye, aromatic and full of beautifully balanced flavours and textures.The Globe American Pie is a golden puff pastry filled with fig and orange marmalade topped with a poached strawberry. The surprise element here is once again that everything on the plate is completely edible including the delicate turquoise lattice work..

To eat to this standard you would generally need to travel to Bangkok but as Bangkok is coming to Pattaya most weekends then we can also boast the very best fine dining right here. We’ve written about the fact that Chon Buri was recognised for the very first time with both Indian by Natura and two of the restaurants at Andaz given a mention in the Michelin guide.( If you missed this you can still read our articles about this on our website pattayatrader.com.) Well surely it can’t be long before the craftsmanship of Chef Alex and his team is recognised – here’s hoping they will receive the first Michelin star awarded in our province
