This time there were no students, only fairly inattentive waitresses. There was no real welcome and anyone coming for the first time would not be aware of the system. Although the salads were fresh and tasty and also the fish, vegetables were very poor. The potatoes had been fried some time earlier and were soggy. The remainder of the vegetables were not very tasty. Our soup bowls were not removed when we returned from getting out main course. Desserts used to be the highlight but the range was restricted and we had to get up to see what was available. They were served but the waitress did not offer to carry them to the table. Overall a significant lowering of standards

And that includes all foods except dessert and the beverage (beverages are normal price). The thing I like is that all foods are prepared and cooked by the chefs and their trainees , as this is a 4 star Hotel School which means that all ingredients are perfect and managed with high standards of hygiene and safety. All times I came here either with family or friends, we were well served and we enjoyed the most! The buffet always includes vegetarian/healthy foods. The meat and the fish options are always healthy and yammy too. Highly recommend this hotel for a lunch and also for a dinner but at night there's no buffet so you'll choose your foods from the menu list but prices are very good, not expensive. Sometimes during the festivities, the hotel offers thematic lunches so it's better if you book in advance so that you're sure that you'll have a seat because trust me that I tried once to make a reservation the day before Mother's Day and...the room was completely full, so I didn't take my Mom there like she was expecting to...anyway, of course there are more choices to eat but I leave here the advice!!!!

We haven't met any of the students, we were served by two waitresses. The food was O,K , not more, less than in most other restaurants we have been to. Disappointing!!!
