Pattaya, Thailand –
In the heart of Pattaya, a culinary gem awaits discerning food enthusiasts. Don Pepe has been tantalizing taste buds since December 1st, 2020, even amidst the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic.
A Taste of Spain in Pattaya
Don Pepe stands out as a beacon of Spanish gastronomy, importing all its products directly from the Iberian Peninsula. From the sun-kissed vineyards to the bustling markets of Madrid, every ingredient at Don Pepe tells a story of Spain’s rich culinary heritage.
Virtual Culinary Magic
What sets Don Pepe apart? The answer lies in the virtual kitchen where El Willy, our Spanish Chef, orchestrates culinary symphonies from his restaurant in Bangkok. El Willy, a trailblazer who introduced Spanish cuisine to Asia, now boasts a culinary empire with restaurants in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Saigon, Manila, and most recently, Bangkok.
Passion Meets Therapy
For owner Anthony Abbeloos, Don Pepe is more than a restaurant—it’s his passion and occupational therapy. At 53 years old, Anthony’s love for gastronomy and wine finds its canvas at Don Pepe. Here, he can unleash his creativity, crafting dishes that celebrate the diversity of Spanish cuisine.
Paellas and Tapas Galore
Spanish cuisine is a tapestry of flavors, and Don Pepe weaves it masterfully. Our specialty? Paellas—saffron-infused rice dishes bursting with seafood, chicken, and vegetables. And let’s not forget the delightful tapas, those small plates that invite you to explore endless combinations.
Quality Reigns Supreme
Don Pepe’s commitment to quality is unwavering. While Pattaya’s steakhouses fiercely compete with mostly Australian steaks, we take a different route. Our menu features exclusively Spanish steaks, a bold choice that sets us apart. But that’s not all.
The Iberian Secret
Step into Don Pepe, and you’ll discover the secret behind our succulent pork. We source everything from the Iberian pig: Pata Negra, Chorizo, Salchichon, and the coveted Secreto—a cut hailed as the world’s finest. These Iberico pigs feast on acorns (8 kg per day), resulting in meat with unparalleled texture and flavor.
Raise Your Glass
At Don Pepe, we’re as Spanish as the sun-drenched streets of Barcelona. Sip on homemade Sangria, savor Spanish gins, and explore a curated selection of 42 Spanish wines—each boasting a Vivino score higher than 4.0.
Where Beauty Meets Flavor
Don Pepe isn’t just about food; it’s an experience. Beautiful people grace our tables, and rumor has it that gogo bars send their stunning dancers to Don Pepe, creating an impromptu parade or a captivating fashion show.
