Specializing in small plates of avant-garde European food, Kandy (304/64 Chateau Dale Plaza, Thappraya Road, Pattaya, www.kandypattaya.com) is a welcome addition to Pattaya's nightlife scene. 

Amid a classy contemporary setting, the restaurant serves dishes from countries all over the world, such as Spain, Italy and even Poland. Try the tuna tartare (fresh tuna with capers, cucumbers, exotic spices served with passion fruit foam) and the Karoga Chicken (bite-size chicken pieces marinated in East Asian spices).

Another highlight is the innovative cocktails served on a rolling bar that comes right to your table.
