La Marée restaurant

Looks bright and stylish. I cannot pass by without making another photo of the bears 🥰 Great choice of food and sitting inside or outside. They also have a mezzanine floor that is great for gatherings or larger groups.

This is an excellent place to have a dinner at Bang Tao beach. Service is spectacular - the waitress was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food is delicious with very good presentation. Wine list is quite extensive and reasonably priced. They were also very careful and attentive with my dietary requirements. This place feels like a little European restaurant in the middle of the tropics and we will definitely be back again.

I visited this restaurant in September and received very good service, enjoyable food, and an excellent wine selection. I was genuinely impressed. Yesterday, I returned with a couple of friends to celebrate Christmas. Unfortunately, the experience was very different. My friends arrived earlier and mentioned that a man sitting at the bar with a laptop, dressed differently from the rest of the staff and appearing to be in a managerial role, looked them up and down and seemed noticeably unwelcoming toward them as local customers. I arrived later, didn't notice him and only learned about this after we had left. The food on this occasion was average compared to my previous visit. While the rest of the staff were attentive, my friends felt so uncomfortable due to the attitude of this individual that we decided to go elsewhere for dessert. Given how actively the restaurant advertises to local customers, this inconsistency in hospitality was particularly disappointing. It is unfortunate, as the restaurant has shown that it can do much better, and local customers should not feel welcome only when business is slow.
