Platoo Riverside Restaurant
ปลาทู เรสเตอรองท์ จันทบุรี
A glass-walled restaurant on the canal south of town, specializing in mackerel dishes; Thai food downstairs, coffee and desserts upstairs, in a spacious setting.
Platoo is on the Phadi Lan Phai Canal in the Khwan Kwang area, south of Chanthaburi's city center, tucked deep in a resort community. It's about 15 minutes by car from the city, and there is a car park. A tall glass room overlooks the canal, with air-conditioned and open-air areas. The ground floor serves Thai home cooking and seafood, and the upper floor offers coffee and desserts. The name means mackerel. Mackerel tom yum and stir-fried mackerel roe with holy basil are the most-voted dishes on review sites, and the menu also includes sun-dried mackerel, crab omelet and charcoal-grilled pork neck. Prices are mid-range for the area, about 250 to 500 baht per person, and service is slightly slower at the lunch peak.
