Tribe Cafe Pattaya — Restaurant in Pattaya City

I visited this place once with my child and a friend. After looking at the cafe's Instagram, I was a little upset: expectations and reality did not match... The cafe is very small, overlooking the parking lot 😅 The food is delicious, the service is also good - there was one man working (he was both a waiter and a bartender), he paid maximum attention to us. I came with a small child, they gave me a high chair. What I especially didn't like: the toilet is outside, you need to walk 1-2 minutes to get to the toilet. And everything would be fine... but at the entrance there is no path for going down or stairs 😅 I had to carry the stroller with the child in my arms, which was extremely inconvenient. And another minus: there are no trash cans in the building... In general, I went once and will not...

Ordered lunch from tribe today (salmon poke bowl). I was expecting a fresh, delicious salmon poke bowl, but instead, I got stale disappointment. The rice was hard, dry, and tasted like it had been sitting out for days, completely ruined the whole meal. Poke should be light and refreshing, but this felt like I was chewing on cold, leftover sushi rice from last week.

The salmon was okay at best, but nothing justifies the insane 400+ baht price tag for a mediocre sized bowl. If I wanted crunchy rice, I would’ve just ordered fried rice at least that’s supposed to be hard. Total waste of money....

Hidden gem. The prices match the quality. Had the tribe breakfast. Perfectly poached eggs, individually seasoned tomatoes and homemade jam that was not too sweet. Pickled cabbage with fennel as a side. Beautiful plating. The chef takes pride in their work. Very polite and friendly staff.

Chairs were uncomfortable, but booths are available. Americano taste like drip Coffee. It's in a hotel if that matters.

In all, look forward to tying their lunch fair. I'll be back when feeling fancy. Good job, Tribe café. A different location, you...
