Hilltop pattaya

4.1(49 reviews)

Perched on Khao Talo hill in Pattaya, this rooftop restaurant draws visitors with its elevated setting and panoramic views over the surrounding area. The menu leans toward sharing-style dishes with a spicy character, complemented by a cocktail selection — making it a venue better suited to groups looking for a social evening out than a quiet solo dinner. Visitors should be aware that the experience here is mixed. While the setting and concept have appeal, recent reviews point to inconsistent service — including delays in receiving drinks, menus, and basic table items — as well as concerns about food quality and temperature. Prices are noted as being on the higher end relative to what is delivered, and the venue appears to have undergone changes in management or kitchen staff in recent times that have affected overall standards. Practically speaking, the restaurant lists Sunday hours as open around the clock, though it is worth confirming hours directly before visiting, as no website is available for up-to-date information. Those planning a special occasion or visiting during busy periods such as New Year's Eve should approach with caution, as reserved tables have reportedly not always been honoured. Arriving by private vehicle is advisable, as access by motorcycle has been restricted at the entrance in some cases.

Visitor Reviews

Took a little while to get a drink, like 15 minutes. Had to ask for water separately. And had to ask for a food menu. And had to ask for napkins. Seems like many of the standard restaurant procedures were missing. The view is quite nice. The food is good; some dishes were way better than other dishes. It was still pretty spicy even though I asked for less spicy. Drinks were well made, they just took forever.

Great dishes for sharing. Decent cocktails. Hopefully you enjoy spicy food! Very high prices. Enjoyable evening but won’t return.

I intended to go to the countdown for the new year but it was too bad for me. Booked a table and didn't get the reserved table. Food was too cold Ordered soup and was served wrong. Ordered wine but it was written in the menu that it was there and then just came to say that they didn't have it. I ordered the main course and waited for 3 hours for the food to not be served. I went last year, good atmosphere, good staff, very good food, but coming this year,Terrible.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
