If our schedule permits, we make it a point that Friday is a happy day for the whole family. This includes our weekly grocery, fun time activities with the kids and of course eating out. I purchased a voucher from Groupon for a brunch at Corniche Restaurant at Sofitel Hotel in Abu Dhabi. It was a good deal as I only paid AED 169 (roughly USD 50) for the four of us.
Let's start with the hotel's interior:
The interior was fabulous. Sofitel really is a 5-star hotel. From the shiny floor up to the hanging lights, it was really one of a kind. The facade is modern, which I like, and not crowded.
Next stop - service:
Service was wonderful. The staff will make you feel like kings and queens for the day. They even gave us this complimentary bread basket with a generous serving of butter, which the kids loved, and a bottle of water, which they will refill when you finished your first one.

Now comes the - food:
I was not really satisfied with the food they had for the buffet. I must say the selection was varied from soup to dessert, it's just that it was lacking flavor.
 |
| My starter plate. Everything was just ordinary except for the calamari salad on top. |
 |
| My main course, which consisted of steamed salmon, chicken barbecue, fried fish and steamed rice. There were still a lot of other options, but they did not look appetizing to me. |
 |
| The fruit section. |
 |
| My desert plate - opera cake, cream something and some biscuits. |
 |
| Desserts, desserts and more desserts! |
Overall, it was a good deal. The lack of flavor was definitely compensated by the excellent service that the staff had given us.
