The Restaurant – Lunch Buffet Bliss at The Residence by TUI Blue

🍽️ The Restaurant – Lunch Buffet Bliss

A gentle two‑minute wander from your suite delivers you to a buffet that thinks it’s a boutique food hall. Settle into a sun‑kissed terrace table or find a hushed indoor nook – the choice (and the plates) are endless.

Breakfast: 07:00–11:00  |  Lunch: 12:30–14:30  |  Dinner: 18:00–21:30

Ocean‑view terrace seating
Al‑fresco welcome: terrace tables overlook the lagoon‑style pool – expect a light sea breeze with your first course.
Cold mezze and salad island
Mezze & salads: olives, feta, artichokes and eight house‑made dips – assemble your own Aegean antipasto.
Main buffet hall with live‑cooking islands
Light & space: the main hall is split into cosy dining rooms – one adults‑only, one family‑friendly – both serviced by smiling staff who remember your name by day two.
Chef grilling fresh sea bass
Catch‑of‑the‑day grill: Levantine sea bass is filleted and fired while you watch – add zesty lemon espuma for a citrus kick.
Carving station with wagyu striploin
Prime carving: wagyu striploin sliced to your liking every Wednesday – marbling like butter, flavour like whoa.
Dessert island with baklava dome and sorbet
Dessert theatre: pistachio‑filled baklava domes crack open with warm syrup – balance things out with a tangy raspberry sorbet.
Pool‑view lunch deck
Poolside plates: grab freshly rolled sushi, then glide back to your lounger – lunch in swimwear encouraged.
Cheese board and self‑serve wine taps
Cheese & pour: local cheeses meet self‑serve wine taps – sip, slice, repeat.
Chef flambéing prawns
Flambé finale: brandy‑kissed prawns land on plates still sizzling – lunchtime theatre, no ticket required.
Candle‑lit two‑top by the pool
Quiet corners: find a candle‑lit table for two and let the tranquillity do the talking.
Vegetarian tasting plates
Plant‑powered picks: heirloom‑tomato tartare and beet carpaccio prove veggies get star billing here.
Copper pineapple cocktail
Liquid glow: caramel‑espresso martinis served in copper pineapples – afternoon slump: cancelled.
Chef’s table pop‑up
Chef’s‑table pop‑up: on Fridays a private room morphs into an eight‑course tasting adventure – still part of the buffet, still zero surcharge.
