We decided to look for something cozy in the Muang Ake area of Pathumthani and came across the Art & Cafe located at 51/019 Muang Ake Village, Ake Taksin Rd Muang Pathumtani. Phone 02-5339594 or mobile number 084-1273000
The Art Cafe has Thai and Italian food and a few other European dishes. It has been open for 2 years, featured in a couple of Thai magazines and the whole family enjoys cooking.

Appetizer: Fresh garlic bread!!!

The Missus ordered Italian macaroni with sauce and oregano.

We split and ordered a plate of Freedom Fries :p, sorry French fries.

I ordered sirloin steak burritos. It was pretty tasty, kind of more like a steak and vegetable spring roll.

The owner told me that there are many farangs living in this area - any Teak Door members that I should know about???
Looked like some good food there, nice thread Chitown.
Do remember some of us are still poor enough to worry about the prices, how much did it all cost?
Sorry about that. I forgot.......390 baht for the two of us!!!!!

By the way, I always enjoy reading your restaurant reviews. Keep them coming.
If you are on Viphavidi / Rangsit Highway, exit at Carefour and follow the frontage road until you pass the Esso gas station and turn left onto Muang Ake Road. Follow that over the bridge thatis over the klong. After the klong go about 2 kilometers and the restaurant is on the right.
You can ring them for directions - they speak pretty decent English.
I used to play golf out that way also.
I'd don't know about that macaroni. It sure looks a bit like its sauce has been made with ketchup! CHi, it seems like you are often going up to Rangsit to eat. What's your connection to this bland polluted area where I live?
I had a nice dinner Thursday night, bangers and mash with garden peas, 130 Baht and it was delicious. It'd cost you around 300 baht for the same meal in Sukhumvit/Silom.
'Oh My Cod!' around the Khao San Road area.
Oh My Cod! British Cafe'
They do a good cod and chips, peas too for 220 baht, their full English brekkie is one of the best in Bangkok. And they sell Beer Lao.
^I had a nice fish and chips yesterday lunch time at Jamesons on Silom road. It's on special on a friday, B195 for the set, Nice home made tomato soup with bread, fish and chips and then icecream with fruit. Not bad for less than B200.:)
No it isn't.Quote:

This is Penne Rigate. Rigate indicates the ridges down the side.

I was disappointed by Oh My Cod on my one and only visit.Quote:

Our food came surprisingly fast, service seemed ok as well.
Agree about the fish and chips, better than average I would say but not close to a real UK chippy. I've only tried the cod and chips though and wonder if because it's imported frozen it's lost a bit of it's flavour. Red Snapper and chips would probably be a better choice.
For me the place is good for the English brekkie style foods and bangers and mash. Not tried their pies or steak yet.
I was never a fan of the chippy back home, I did enjoy the red snapper and chips at Oh My Cod though. It was like all a chippy should be without the litres of oil and grease, the chips are great as well. Never tried the imported cod but some of the other stuff on the menu was good to.
dont agree ther maddieQuote:

the cheese and onion pie is fantastic though
the injun restraunt next door is good too and reasonably priced
I only ate at the Royal Indian once, but didn't like it too much. There's quite a few good Indians in that area now though.
Chitown, why don't you go and do us a review of 'Oh my Cod!' :)
