A la Mer

I was pretty excited to try this place based on reviews, but the seafood was bland and undercooked, and the “pizza” was more like shortbread—good flavor but not what I expected at all. On the bright side, the staff were nice and the atmosphere was comfy, so maybe it just wasn’t our night.

We’ve been here a couple of times and the service is always friendly, but it’s a shame that people smoking nearby keeps ruining the atmosphere. It’s a shame because otherwise, this place has a lot of promise and could be a great hangout if they got on top of that.

The food here is genuinely good, with highlights like the perfectly cooked fish and an apple tart that literally melts in your mouth. The team working there is super friendly and makes you feel welcome, turning a regular dinner into a nice little treat.

I really enjoyed the cozy vibe and attentive staff at this spot, especially the wine prices which are a steal for Hua Hin. The Prosciutto and Funghi pizza was tasty, even if it was more ham than prosciutto, but the thin Marinara pizza with anchovies didn’t quite hit the mark—felt more like an appetizer than a full meal. Still, a solid 4 stars from me.
