Festin D'asie - Chartres

A large spacious restaurant, walking distance from the budget hotels area outside the City Centre. For a flat fee you can eat as much as you want to from the huge buffet, the selection of food on offer is incredible.... For starters there are oysters, prawns, mussels and other fish delicacies, or try the dim sum, the nems or the sushi and salads...You can then take further selections of clams, scallops seaweed, chinese mushrooms and more, to the wok where they are cooked if front of you whilst you wait.The same chef will cook meats for you on the grill, and of course there are one or two unidentifiable items which turn out to be surprisingly tasty.To go with this, there is a mammoth range of traditional chinese restaurant dishes, plus all the side dishes, it really is a potentially endless tour.The staff circulate and clear your dishes from the table allowing you to go back to the buffet for your next helping.If you still have the ability to indulge after all of that, then there is another buffet with puddings, fruit, ice creams etc, this of course is the area which attracts the sticky fingered (but well behaved) kids, this is very much a family venue, it represents fantastic value for money, and is great fun.Drinks are extra, but priced normally, a pitcher of wine is 3 - 4 Euros.

Took a walk out for something to eat after a drive down from the Channel/ la Manche. Found this place a better choice than the pseudo American stuff near the budget hotels and the choice is really good. Dim sum sushi and lots of good stuff including a diy kit which they then cook.

The buffet is very big, a large choice of asian food, lots of food but average quality.The service was a bit cold, you can notice that here it's just for the business. The price is ok, if you compare to the quality you can eat, then it's a good deal. But don't come after 1pm, there won't be lots of food left and they refill very carefully.
