Last night, March 28, 2026, the excellent Casa Pascal restaurant in Pattaya celebrated an amazing 25 years, not an easy achievement for any business in Pattaya, especially a restaurant. Congratulations to owners Pascal and Kim Schnyder and their dedicated team.
Casa Pascal, a longstanding landmark in Pattaya’s dining scene, marked its silver jubilee on Saturday, March 28th, 2026, with a special anniversary event at its location on Pattaya Second Road, roughly opposite Royal Garden Plaza. The celebration brought together loyal patrons, local media, friends, and food lovers for an evening of fine cuisine and warm hospitality, showing a quarter-century of consistent excellence in one of Thailand’s most dynamic resort cities.
The restaurant first opened its doors on March 17th, 2001, under the leadership of Swiss chef Pascal Schnyder and his wife Kim Schnyder. What started as a fine-dining establishment blending European techniques with fresh local and seasonal ingredients has become one of Pattaya’s most respected venues. Known for its elegant yet welcoming atmosphere, Casa Pascal has earned praise for high-quality food, impeccable service, and its ability to maintain standards over more than two decades in the same location – a rare accomplishment in an industry where many establishments come and go quickly due to tourism fluctuations and intense competition.
Surviving and thriving for 25 years in Pattaya speaks to the Schnyders’ commitment. The city’s hospitality sector is notoriously challenging, with shifting visitor trends and the demands of delivering consistent quality in a tropical environment.
Casa Pascal has stood out by focusing on fresh, seasonal produce sourced locally and internationally, including specialties such as white asparagus, fine fish, lobsters, oysters, and Pascal’s signature dishes. The restaurant offers a popular breakfast buffet daily from 8:00 , often discussed for its value and variety, alongside refined evening à la carte dining featuring European and Asian dishes paired with a thoughtful wine selection.
Pascal Schnyder, who heads the culinary team, has long focused on quality ingredients and attractive presentation. Kim oversees the service brigade, ensuring a professional yet cordial experience for an international team drawn from multiple countries. The restaurant has also built a strong reputation for catering, handling private parties, weddings, and even high-profile events. Additional services include delivery and takeaway through its DelAway operation.
Reviewers frequently note the restaurant’s reliability, with many long-time guests returning regularly for years and describing it as an essential stop on any visit to Pattaya. The venue itself is spacious and cool, striking a balance between classic elegance and modern comfort. Over the years it has received various recognitions and positive mentions in local media for upholding high culinary standards that could compete anywhere.
The 25th anniversary event featured a festive 5-course menu priced at 2,500 baht per person, with aperitif and a variety of beverages offered on the house. Guests enjoyed a refined evening with live entertainment in a smart casual atmosphere (no shorts or sleeveless shirts), and advance reservations were required. Kim and Pascal personally extended warm invitations to the community, reflecting the personal touch that has defined the restaurant since its early days.
Social media and local outlets shared congratulations, viewing the milestone as a symbol of stability and dedication in Pattaya’s ever-changing hospitality landscape. In a city where longevity is rare for restaurants, Casa Pascal’s endurance stands as an inspiration.
As it enters its next chapter, the restaurant continues to welcome diners for its signature buffet and dinner service. Reservations are recommended, particularly for special occasions. More information, including menus, is available on the official website at restaurant-in-pattaya.com.
Congratulations once again to Pascal, Kim, and the entire Casa Pascal team on this impressive 25-year journey. Here’s to many more years of exceptional dining in the heart of Pattaya!
