It’s back, it’s bigger than ever and the price is unchanged! Casa Pascal’s
Sunday Brunch, the first of the ‘quality’ brunches in Pattaya (going nine years
now) starts again this Sunday, October 3. “Yes,” Pascal assured me, “the price
is just the same at B 899 including a welcoming glass of sparkling prosecco, and
the items are even higher quality than ever. Our Parma ham is real Parma ham,
for example!” That price of B. 899 would make the Sunday Brunch at Casa Pascal
not only the longest established, but also the least expensive of the top end
restaurants.
It
should not really be necessary to describe Casa Pascal restaurant or its
location for the regular readers, but with the numbers of new arrivals in
Pattaya for the forthcoming high season, a few words to assist you in finding
this restaurant. One of the most elegant venues, it is located in a small soi
off Pattaya Second Road. It is on the right, not far after the Royal Garden
Plaza/Marriott Resort and Spa on the left and almost opposite Dicey Reilly’s
Irish Pub. Look for the Casa Pascal sign. The restaurant is next to Ruen Thai,
an old established Thai restaurant. Parking is plentiful, and is secure.
The restaurant itself is appointed as a Fine Dining
establishment. High ceilings, large tables and chairs, alcoves seating around 10
diners, as well as the usual free-standing tables. One wall is predominantly
glass, so the Sunday brunch has a very light and airy atmosphere.
The
Sunday Brunch has more items than it is possible for us to write down, but some
of the more remarkable are as follows - in the seafood, there is rock lobster,
marinated mussels, marinated clams, river prawns, Alaskan king crab and local
blue crab, marinated scallops (local), smoked salmon, graved lax and smoked saba.
If you are more into healthy salads, then you are also
catered for with items such as artichoke salad, marinated egg plants, marinated
zucchini, marinated bell peppers, white asparagus vinaigrette, grilled marinated
mushrooms, Italian seafood salad, avocados in vinaigrette and assorted olives.
In the area of cold appetizers, how about some goose liver
terrine, chicken liver - portwine mousse and portwine jelly, seafood and tomato
jelly, chicken terrine, salmon mousse terrine, beef tartar, salmon tartar, honey
ham, Parma ham and beef carpaccio.
You’d like something hot? You have been catered for once more
with prawns in bacon wrap, braised pork shank, chicken Madras curry, tilapia
filets in dill cream sauce, French beans in bacon wrap, braised red cabbage,
saut้ed potato with onion and bacon and cannelloni (meat).
If, however, you like your brunch spicy hot there is a
selection of Thai food items including clams in chili sauce and red curry with
roasted duck.
It does not end there either as there are live cooking
stations with flamb้ beef or pork and a BBQ on the terrace with chicken,
sausages, pork ribs and steak.
Of course there are also “standard” breakfast items such as
cereals and croissants, brown cereal bread, Danish, assorted bread loaf (rustico
bread, French bread), toast, pancake (maple syrup, honey) and orange juice,
pineapple juice, fresh milk and ice tea.
Now to get the maximum enjoyment out of this all you can eat
brunch, here are our tips - firstly make sure you eat nothing at home before you
come out. Secondly, sip your complimentary prosecco and then take small portions
of everything you like, but take your time. You have a few hours to indulge
yourself and your taste buds. Thirdly, go up again for more and then make a
right proper pig of yourself by going round the buffet tables once again.
Naturally, the Casa Pascal Sunday Brunch is very popular and
for very obvious reasons including quality and price, so we do suggest you book,
to avoid disappointment. Very highly recommended.
