About
Old Germany is a veteran of Naklua’s German-restaurant scene — an honest, no-frills place serving the kind of hearty central-European cooking that Pattaya’s large German-speaking community comes north for. Naklua, the district just above central Pattaya, has been the city’s German heartland for decades, and Old Germany sits among a run of German, Swiss and Austrian eateries on and around Naklua Road. It’s a locals’ regular rather than a tourist showpiece, and that’s the appeal: proper food, fair prices and a friendly welcome.
What to order
The kitchen concentrates on traditional beef and pork dishes — schnitzels, roasts and sausages — plus daily specials, all in generous portions and best washed down with a cold beer. It’s comfort food done straight rather than reinvented, and the menu is easy to follow whether you speak German or English. Ratings on TripAdvisor and Restaurant Guru are consistently good, with the food and the service drawing the warmest comments.

Honest verdict
Come for authentic, filling German food at sensible prices in the company of Naklua’s expat regulars, not for a slick dining room. It’s out of the centre, so factor in a short trip north — and check the hours before you set off — but as a taste of home for Europeans and a hearty change of pace for everyone else, it delivers.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Old Germany restaurant in Pattaya?
It's on Naklua Road in Naklua, the district north of central Pattaya that's long been popular with German-speaking expats. The area has a cluster of German, Swiss and Austrian restaurants, and Old Germany is one of the veterans among them — a short drive or baht-bus ride up from the centre.
What food does Old Germany serve?
Traditional German fare: it leans on hearty beef and pork dishes — schnitzels, roasts, sausages and daily specials — rather than an endless sausage list, served in generous portions. It's straightforward European comfort food, done properly, with cold beer to match.
Is Old Germany expensive?
No — prices are mid-range and honest, aimed at regulars rather than tourists, so you get a satisfying, filling meal without a beachfront markup. It's ฿฿ territory: more than a Thai street meal, but fair for a proper German plate and portion.
Do I need to book at Old Germany?
For a normal visit you can usually just turn up. It's a small, traditional place with a loyal following, so if you're coming as a group or during the busy high season it doesn't hurt to call ahead. Confirming hours at the same time is wise, as they can vary.
How do I get to Old Germany from central Pattaya?
Head north to Naklua — it's roughly 10–15 minutes by car from central Pattaya. A Grab or Bolt is the easiest option; baht buses also run up Naklua Road. It's worth pairing with a wider look around Naklua's German-Swiss-Austrian restaurant scene.
Is Old Germany a restaurant or a guesthouse?
It's known first and foremost as a restaurant. Like several long-standing places in Naklua, the premises have historically offered a few simple guest rooms as well, so if you're interested in staying it's best to contact them directly to confirm current availability.
