Beef Paella Earns Attention at the Buffet
BACOLOD - Among the dishes specifically praised by a recent diner is the beef paella, which was described as the tastiest dish they sampled during a Ripples dinner buffet. Paella gives the buffet a distinctly Spanish-inspired element while fitting naturally into Ripples' broader international menu. Seafood also features prominently in the restaurant's documented selections, with menu references mentioning seafood paella, salmon, tuna, and other fish dishes. Because buffet offerings can change according to the day's theme and available ingredients, guests should treat individual dishes as rotating selections rather than permanent menu items. That changing selection is part of what makes a buffet visit different from ordering from a fixed à-la-carte menu.
Seafood Au Gratin and Sashimi Add More Variety
The seafood selection gives Ripples another appealing side, particularly for diners who want something lighter or prefer fish and shellfish. A recent customer review specifically singled out the seafood au gratin and tuna sashimi among the better dishes from a dinner buffet. Restaurant menu references also list salmon, tuna, sashimi, seafood salads, and seafood pasta among the dishes associated with Ripples. This variety means that one buffet table can include raw seafood preparations alongside baked, grilled, or pasta-based dishes. For families and groups with different preferences, having several categories available can make the meal easier to enjoy together. The exact seafood selection, however, may vary depending on the buffet being offered.
The Buffet Is the Restaurant's Biggest Attraction
Ripples' identity is closely connected with its buffet format, and L'Fisher Hotel itself describes the restaurant as offering daily buffets featuring both local and international dishes. Earlier coverage from The Bacolod Food Hunters documented themed buffet schedules at the hotel, including seafood and continental offerings, while emphasizing that the individual dishes could change according to availability. That flexibility allows the restaurant to present different combinations of dishes rather than relying on exactly the same selection every visit. Current third-party listings also show Ripples at L'Fisher Hotel and document its broad menu, although one current listing describes the restaurant as temporarily closed, so visitors should confirm its operating status and buffet schedule with the hotel before making plans. For anyone interested in Bacolod's hotel-based dining culture, Ripples remains a notable restaurant to know, particularly for its combination of buffet variety and international dishes.
