Reviews

This is honestly one of the best hotel buffets I have ever had. The food was absolutely delicious I would especially like to compliment the chef at the roti canai station. He was very polite, and you could truly see how much he enjoys his work, which made the dining experience even more pleasant The only small downside was that the smoke from the egg station was quite strong. After leaving the restaurant, our clothes had a noticeable smoke smell, which was a little awkward as we had to meet clients afterward If this could be improved, the overall experience would be close to perfect. One more thing to note: takeaway (“tapau”) is not allowed for coffee. I was charged RM15 for taking away an iced Americano , whereas I usually enjoy complimentary takeaway coffee at other hotel restaurants. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and definitely worth returning to.

Came specifically for breakfast buffet. Excellent service, scrumptious food and great ambience. They served duck risotto included with the breakfast during our visit. Restaurant manager and head chef went around to ensure everyone is well fed. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back.

We stayed in Opero Hotel over the long weekend and loved the food so much! Breakfast spread was amazing! The ala carte selection we had for dinner was soo good too. We love it so much, we had dinner here twice over the 4 nights we stayed here. The sirloin steak and sides was very well cooked and prepared, the smashed burger was huge and the hor fun was full of veges and proteins. Will definitely repeat again!

We had our pre-anniversary dinner at Oliva Cafe, a cozy spot that didn’t disappoint. We ordered the Opero Smash Burger, which was bursting with flavor, and the Carbonara, served with garlic bread on the side. Everything was spot on, from the taste to the presentation. It was a lovely start to the celebration. The next day, we went back for breakfast. Oliva Cafe really outdoes itself in the morning! The breakfast spread was huge, offering a wide variety of options. Although we couldn’t capture everything, I managed to take a few photos and videos to remember the experience. The atmosphere was just as great—spacious seating, which made it perfect for a relaxed meal. The quality of the food and the variety offered made it easy to recommend. I can already tell we’ll be returning to Oliva Cafe soon, not just for dinner but definitely for another breakfast session. It’s one of those places you’re happy to revisit.

The morning buffet for Opero Hotel was at this location. It is good value for money. Not as much as 5 star hotels but what they served was good. Nasi Lemak, Kacang pool, thosai were good for a hotel buffet. Nice teh tarek and the coffee machines served good coffee. The Tom yum and Chicken soup for the noodles station be better but there was a wide variety of condiments etc.

Wide selection of international and local breakfast. Beautiful interior design and lots of natural light. Great efforts put into presentation: mini portion of Nasi lemak rice wrapped lovingly in Pandan leave and put in steamer, the fruit platter nicely boxed up in individual portion. I noticed chef and staffs making rounds quite often to ensure that food was replenished and all is in order. Taste wise: I really enjoyed the French toast, Nasi lemak with condiments and Kueh Lontong. Kudos to the chef and staff making our first meal of the day so enjoyable and delightful!

Food is literally lovely, service was amazing as well. Beef was tender, they were mexican themed food? Today and it did not disappoint. Having buffet dinner celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The staff gave us free cheesecake considering it’s my daughter’s birthday. They were friendly and sang her the birthday song. Overall, lovely.
