Peppina on the Beach

We had two good visits to this restaurant when the owners were very friendly to us and the service was good but on the third occasion which stopped us going back, we were served by a very young child who couldn&#39;&#39;t understand English and another staff member had to re-take our order. The owners attitude had changed and were not as friendly to us even though their restaurant was not busy. Hence no return!

best restaurant we found
We stayed 15 nights and tried to visit a different restaurant every night. However , once we tried this one we ended up returning to it 3 times, (plus once for dessert only ) .
It is not in Petchaburi ( which is large town miles away from here ) as previous reviewer stated. It is in the little village, Bang Kwai, near to the novotel, Cera hotel and Regent Beach and Chalet hotels.It is inbetween Hua Hin and Cha Am.
The food here was wonderful, better than all the others we tried and also slightly cheaper than the others.The banana fritters were lovely and light and not greasy like others we had elsewhere.I had prawns and cashew nuts a couple of times and there were lots of prawns and lots of cashew nuts in a lovely sauce. The satay starter was massive as were the spring rolls. They would have done for a main course but we are greedy and had main courses and desserts too!
service was good and friendly.

Overall you can&#39;&#39;t really go wrong here, never had a bad meal but in my opinion excells in English breakfasts, pizzas and presentation Can get very busy some evenings in the high season and has many regulars.

Don&#39;&#39;t go there, if you go alone!
You are penalized for going alone! You cannot sit on the patio, let&#39;&#39;s say if there is a table for two or four. No!, you have to sit inside where it is very hot! The waiter ( a Thai man) told me that the owner ( a dutch man) doesn&#39;&#39;t like to give the tables to single party. In this 21st century, people still think very small and that is why they will always stay small! Inside, there are only fans that cannot keep up with the heat and you are constantly sweating! With this discriminating attitude, I definitely will not go back there!

Do not miss the asparagus!
I ate here several times during my stay and enjoyed every single meal. The owner is very friendly, and advises on just how hot and spicy his dishes are - and can modify them to your tastes. He does care very much about the quality of his food and is happy to chat about it. The location of the restaurant on the main street allows one to enjoy people watching - but there&#39;&#39;s also a large screen TV - if one wants to watch it. And the asparagus... beautiful, fresh. simply served as a starter just with warm melted butter. I&#39;&#39;ve never had better anywhere.

Excellent as usual
Have eaten here many times over the last few years, always go a couple of times when on holiday in Cha am. 
Staff friendly and helpful, food fresh and cooked well. Service is excellent.
Best pad Thai I&rsquo;ve had and had gorgeous tiger prawns in panang curry sauce
