PhukEAT: Pesto

Location: Cherngtalay
Type of Food: Mediterranean/ Thai
Price per person: 150-300 Bht

If you have plenty of time to spare, not that hungry, and you want to eat somewhere affordable, Pesto is the place for you. Located along the Baan Don-Cherngtalay Road (beside Supercheap Convenience Store) the place is open-air with very minimal decor. Take note that I do not recommend it when you are in haste least you will be disappointed that the place is full when you get there. Apart from having very limited sitting capacity it is also understaffed. So, there is a great probability that your food will arrive an hour after or it will not arrive all at the same time.

But, if you are not in a hurry..Relax, order a Cha Manao (iced tea), catch up with each other's lives because either you're here for a holiday or you're living in an island anyway so there's no rush.

Don't expect so much from Pesto except good food. The portions are not consistent, you might not get the right order but Mai pen rai ( no problem) as long as it's aroi mak (very delicious).

I keep coming back for their Moussaka, Shrimp Tagliatelle and Pork Tenderloin with Mixed Vegetables and Mashed Potato (which is not exactly Mediterranean but like I said, as long as it's good..).

Not convinced yet? How about bringing your own wine and paying a 50 Bht corkage?

I've got 2 words for Pesto. Not bad.

Not bad at all.
