Aroma Village
Enjoy a great value five-euro lunch buffet at this newly opened upmarket Chinese restaurant with a decent selection of vegetarian options and happy hour-priced beer. Aroma Village also boasts grandiose Sunday-evening buffets - an all-you-can-eat selection of quality dishes (lots of seafood and spicy salads) and delicious homemade Dim Sum-style steamed dumplings (savoury with vegetables and ground meat/shrimp or sweet with lotus/bean-Baoji and Jiaozi). Don’t forget to order their jasmine flower tea: A mysterious spiky bulb opens before your eyes, releasing a garland of aromatic flowers, beautiful and caffeine-free!
