A Familia - Ribeira Grande

We ate the all you from eat a la carte : vegi noodles and rice noodles, the spicy chicken, the sisling fried beef, the cantonese style duck, the mini spring rolls and the fried banana. Both veggie noodles taste identical. They contain almost no vegetables and have little taste. The chicken and beef are very sweet and not really tasty. The beef seems to come from a can. You get so little of the duck that it is finished in 2 bites, but it is really tasty and very crispy. You only get 3 pieces of the mini spring rolls. The fried banana was very tasty but served without sauce. The dining room is so bare, it almost makes you depressed. The service is typically Chinese : uncomfortably friendly and unworldly. For the price of 16 € it is still reasonable but I will never go back. For those who have a very big hunger, few taste buds and little money. Vegetarian options: Very few vegetables

Really fast serving like in 10 min Price per person: €15–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Pan Fried Pork Sweeetsauce, Noodles Vegetable, Sushi

Important: Get the all-you-can-eat buffet, don't order just one dish. The buffet is great value for money. The food is good and the sizes big. Sides like rice or noodles are not included in the main dish but come very cheap. The staff was extremely friendly and explained everything in excellent English. Their concept is quite nice: if you get the buffet, you can order as many dishes as you want, but you have to finish one before another can be ordered. This way there is less waste. The atmosphere was also very nice and everything seemed very clean.

Painfully average. Wish I had spent my money elsewhere.
