Buffet Dinner At Casa Del Rio Melaka

Last updated on by

Today’s post is a review of a buffet dinner I had at Casa Del Rio Melaka just a week ago. I had pretty high hopes for this buffet as it’s a 5-star hotel and the location is superb. I heard that the rooms are pretty pricy as well.

The hotel is just beautiful. This is a photo of the back of the hotel with an awesome fountain. The lighting is beautiful as well.

There are comfy places to sit and enjoy the ambience. Okay I’m not at the buffet part yet but bear with me.

This is the entrance of River Grill, the restaurant that serves buffet in this hotel.

When we came into the restaurant, we noticed a cute little leaf with a name on it. That’s how they let others know that a table is reserved. They used a genuine leaf and wrote on it.

The table looks pretty posh, but as it was cold in the inside, we chose to sit outside.

It was a nice place to just chill and dine.

The view from Casa Del Rio is pretty cool. It’s facing the Melaka river and you’ll see boats passing by.

Now let’s get on to what I ate.

Some cold pasta, steak, lamb, briyani rice, mussels, cold scallops and mussels. They were pretty decent.

Their bread pudding with vanilla and fruits dipped in the chocolate fountain.

 

Overall, the food was decent but I was pretty disappointed that they did not replenish some of those dishes. I came at about 8pm and the buffet stops at 10.30pm or 11pm. It’s not professional to not replenish all of the dishes, like what I’ve experienced in other hotel buffets. Maybe I’ve put my expectations too high. The good points are of course the ambience, the location and the food was decent. It’s suitable for those who wish to just chill at the river side and drink some alcohol. It’s close to Jonker Walk as well.
