If you’re coming here to enjoy nature, of course you’ll see flies or a gecko or two — you’re in the middle of a vineyard, not a shopping mall. That’s not my issue.
What is my issue? The so-called Western food. Seriously, if you don’t have a proper Western chef — or at least someone who’s trained — please, stick to Thai cuisine. There’s no shame in doing what you know best, but serving overpriced, poorly executed Western dishes is just a joke.
We ordered the lamb shank (heavily advertised on the road signs)… what a letdown. Dry, tasteless, and frankly, it felt like it had been sitting around for days. The pork neck? Same story — dry, old-tasting, uninspired. Chicken in vine leaves? Meh. Edible, but far from good. Apple crumble for dessert? No crumble, no joy. Just a sad plate of something vaguely sweet.
For a bill close to 5,000 THB (including a 2,056 THB bottle of wine), this experience was anything but worth it. At those prices, I expect Bangkok-level execution. What I got? Amateur hour in the kitchen.
One more thing — if you’re going to aim for a Western-style restaurant and be on platforms targeting international customers, you need someone who speaks English on staff. Otherwise, what’s the point?
In short: Nature beautiful, wine fine, but food? Big NO. You want to be taken seriously? Get a real chef, or just...
Read moreThe main courses (Pesto Pasta, Foie Gras) were okay, the Foie Gras really oily and the Pesto Pasta was not creamy enough. The Coq was nice.
I also want to add that I absolutely LOVED the grape juice. I had 3 bottles of it.
The saving grace was also the dessert; Apple Crumble with their creamy and tasty homemade Vanilla ice cream and vanilla sauce was phenomenal; one of the best apple crumbles I’ve tasted. Would improve on it by adding more crumble, less apples and a bit of icing sugar on top.
The grape(?) tart according to my girlfriend was really good as well with their homegrown grapes being used as a sauce and garnish to the tarts.
The service was okay, but one of the staff(dressed in a blue dress shirt and jeans when we came) was really polite and helpful.
We also went for the winery tour after our meal, where Lisa was really really engaging and helpful and knowledgeable. We wanted to tip her but she had to leave for another...
Read moreI absolutely love this restaurant’s unique take on comforting European cuisine.
One standout dish is the chicken wrapped in grape leaves, which brings a delightful Thai twist to a classic Mediterranean recipe. The sweet-and-tangy grape sauce is reminiscent of plum sauce, adding a delicious flair.
Another highlight is the scallops in spinach sauce, where the sweetness of the seared scallops beautifully complements the earthy undertones of the spinach.
Then there's the spicy duck pasta, a truly tantalising option. The duck boasts crispy skin and juicy meat, enhanced by herbs and chilies grown right by the owner. A drizzle of house-made chili oil takes it to the next level for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
The pièce de résistance is the beef tongue Bourguignon, featuring rich GranMonte wine and local beef sourced from a nearby farm. This dish is cooked to perfection and embodies the essence of...
