A Return Visit To A Super Find,

it is the Cafe des Amis, situated behind the large Persian styled building on the hill going from Pattaya to Jomtien it is easy to find if you go down soi 9,11 or 13, we were all so impressed the last time we went there we had to call back in,

I popped around to make our reservations,

a map of how to get there, it is well worth calling in if you like good food, a relaxing atmosphere and nice surroundings,

this is the Egyptian style building near the restaurant,

Diana all dressed up and ready to go,

Riza and Mike, ready for the off,

Jeff and Da, as stunning as ever,

and of course yours truly and Diana,

and the girls all looked stunning,

Mike brought two bottles of Stephante from Chateau la Foret which was pronounced as an excellent choice,

complementary starter of salmon mousse',

first course will be here soon, the service left nothing to be desired,

for the guys the room temperature was just right, but the girls were a little chilly, quick as a flash Blue the owner had given the girls some shawls to wear, very thoughtful indeed, but Da still had to keep her hands warm!

Diana had a shawl as well,

as I have mentioned before the restaurant is very tastefully decked out, fresh orchids every where,

now on to the good stuff, the food, for Diana crispy duck, I tried some, perfection!

my favourite from last time for Da, crispy lettuce wrapped salmon,

for Jeff cheese and tomato flan,

fresh smoked salmon for Mike,

and a prawn cocktail for Riza,

and steamed mussels for myself,

between courses Da makes like an Egyptian!

first course was excellent, cheers!

then for the main course Diana had blacken salmon,

Riza had salmon Wellington, the same as beef Wellington but with salmon, delicious!

Mike and Jeff had lamb shank, again my favourite from last time,

I had lamb chops with sauteed potatoes,

after finishing Mikes wine we had this Jacobs Creek kindly supplied by Jeff,

for desert cream brulee for me,

kiwi and mango tart for Mike,

apple pie with ice cream for Jeff and Da,

then time for a nightcap at 388, but it all got a bit much for Jeff, so Mr. Sleep paid a visit!

unknown at the time to us it was Jeff's birthday, so the girls went to the local 7-11 and bought him a cake and candles,

a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday!" woke Jeff up,

and it was time to blow out the candles,

the cake was nice,

and Jeff enjoyed his, another excellent evening at the Cafe des Amis, if you like good food then this is the place for you thoughly recomended by all of us, the cost was 2,200 per couple including a round of drinks before the meal, Cheers!
