Casa L'Oberg Inn

How do you describe a man who was born in Morocco to Italian and Sicilian parents, but naturalized in France and now living in Thailand? Well, you have come face to face with Jacques Scrimali, the driving force behind Casa l’Ôberg’Inn, which is one of the very few restaurants that can boast of authentic Moroccan food.

Now, before all the couscous lovers start heading towards Casa l’Ôberg’Inn, you have to find this rather special restaurant. And it’s not all that easy. Officially in Somprasong Plaza, Soi 12 Jomtien, and if you are like me, you begin counting down the sois after the Jomtien Boathouse on the corner of Soi 8. Keep counting down and Soi 11 is easy to pick, having a small resort called “Eleven” on the corner. The next soi is Soi 12, logic would insist – but it isn’t. The next soi and about three after that do not have numbers! Ah well, TIT (and thank you Bernard Trink, the first to coin TIT).
