3933348 fancy table settings Maldives 300x225 Club Med Buffet Maldives

The Club Med Buffet! True Foodie Heaven!

There was just so much food at the Club Med Buffet my mind and stomach spiraled into a state of confusion and glee.

The buffet of the Club Med is a smörgåsbord of the freshest and most delightful seafood preparations. Maldivian and Asian cuisine seems to be the prevalent influences of the buffet. But the menu is ever changing and there is always something new and delightful on the table.

It was our first time and much to our awe to see so much seafood all prepared in both usual and never seen before ways. Each dish was quite interesting. Since maybe it will be our first time to go all out on a tropical island paradise. I am certain that any kind of discerning guest will find a spot here at Club Med’s buffet. Although the problem with buffet food is that its never that fresh, The pickings are never slim there is always something mouthwateringly delightful on sight. Japanese, Chinese, American burgers, pizza and fries. Its all there! We thought that there was no end to this gastronomical fiasco until we found the dessert table. Filled with from what I saw is a ton of baked and sweet goodies. Thank god we availed of the all inclusive package. We’re sure to eat well and good during our Maldives stay! Make sure you try the Indian table also and the local specialties.
