Hemingway's, Was Los Cabos


Specialist

Recommended Posts

It was a Thai restaurant before Los Cabos ... and quite expensive.

 

I thought it was supposed to become a pub?

 

Looks nice but what the hell has it got to do with Hemingway? When I think of the 1920s, I'm more likely to think of Al Capone and Prohibition. Will the waitresses dress like flappers/

I was there three days ago. I think they are trying to make it look like his house in Key West, which it does if you squint a little. Food is also geared toward the Conk Republic. But I suspect it is pretty hard to see for someone that had not been to Key West, which in BKK is not going to be too many people at all.

Looks like you've got it:

Still, a strange choice for a restaurant theme in SE Asia. As far as I can tell, Hemingway was never in Thailand, though he was a correspondent in China for a few months before WWII. Maybe they have photos of Castro and a double-barrel shotgun hanging on the wall.

Just saw another post on Flyertalk, that pointed to a review of Hemingways.

 

Executive Summary: Fuhgeddaboutit. The reviewer had a truly terrible experience, and described it, in detail. There are far too many GOOD restaurants in Bangkok, that don't cost anywhere near as much.
