Families who love to dine together bond better than those who don’t. This is just an opinion of course, but it is always nice to eat together. The dining room in the house is almost always the best place to do this. However at times, families want to sample food outside of their home, where they don’t need to wash up afterwards.
In Kota Kinabalu, there is no dearth of good restaurants. One can chance upon one by just walking around the city.
One of the most comfortable place to eat dinner is Mercato, at Avangio Hotel Kota Kinabalu sited at Kolombong, Inanam.
Presently, they are offering buffet dinner to diners, from Monday to Saturday, where an array of delectable food are all ready to titillate the palate.

“Our dishes include chicken cooked in various ways as well as beef and mutton,” he shared adding that one of the most sought after is the oxtail.

He said diners should come and sample dishes such as Herb Infuse Beef, Fish Fillet with Hot Garlic Sauce, Kung Pao Chicken and Beef Opa among others.
“For every four diners, we give one free meal to number five. Meaning to say, if you bring four friends to dine here, you will dine for free. But this is only for adult diners,” he shared.
