Help, we have a luxury problem
We know there are just too many good restaurants within walking distance, and unfortunately, there is often too little time. We recommend doing a spontaneous Walking Dinner to visit even more restaurants nearby. This way, you will get the chance to try and see 3 restaurants per evening instead of just 1.
For example, order a drink of your choice during Avila’s Beach Vibes every Wednesday (see photo) and call your starter at The Pen Restaurant & Terrace. Head to Soi95 for your main course and end up at Restaurant Serafina for a tasty dessert.
Or, enjoy your starter at Mosa, indulge in a main course at Rozendaels, and finish with dessert (and cocktails) at Blues Restaurant (especially fun during the Live Music Night on Thursdays).
There are countless options, so mix it up and make it a fun and food-filled evening!
