This buffet restaurant is in the Dolce Vita Shopping Center in the southeast part of Coimbra. Five euros and ninety-nine cents will get you all the food you can eat. There's a good variety of it - a table of salads, a section of hot food, and (the time I ate there) some tasty chicken broth. Among the numerous items in the salad bar were a kind of cole slaw with olives, gazpacho, mango slices, pineapple slices, and pigs-ear salad. On the steam table were several kinds of meat, rice, black beans (not as good as what I had at a buffet in Lisboa, but still good. Also spinach, rice cooked in chicken blood with pieces of chicken, whole small potatoes, and eggplant topped with fresh cheese. There's more too.
There's a Brazilian restaurant in the other shopping center (the Forum), but this one is better. It's also more crowded, but you can expect that for good food. read more
