Le Panda - Condé-sur-Sarthe

We visited this chinese restaurant with friends. There was a good choice of food and deserts on a help yourself basis, you pay one price and can eat as much as you like. You could also cook your own food at the table, or ask them to cook it for you. We would definately go again.

We have always enjoyed lunch at The Panda but our last visit was a real disappointment. The buffet was not restocked often enough and when I went for my main course there was only a couple of spoonfuls of riz cantonais left, no noodles or plain rice. The cook your own meats were is short supply and we were really disappointed.

We were staying overnight in Conde sur Sarthe and were advised that this was the nearest restaurant. The set up was typical of many Chinese buffet restaurants. The selection of dishes was not enormous but you could have dishes cooked in the wok at the wok counter. The food was average quality but you could eat as much as you wanted. Service was acceptable. Price was reasonable at approx €15 a head.

We visited on the basis of the complementary reviews however was disappointed. The plates and food were cold, which was a shame as the selection of food was good. Service was fast but a little cold. I also feel the price was a little steep for what was on offer.

Green lipped muscles, fresh prawns and white crab in the shell. Salad and fresh produce. Easy to eat healthily and eat very well. Fresh fruits and desserts, only difficulty is that with a dairy free diet, the options could be limited. The children loved it and I have never seen my eleven year old eat so well. Very happy children.
