The “Treat Yourself” Buffet Trail
For the seafood lovers, Meliá Yangon is serving up a Salmon Sashimi & BBQ feast on Friday and Saturday. If you’re a traditionalist, the Inya Lake Hotel has you covered with their International Buffet on Saturday (15% off for early birds!) and a massive Sunday Lunch Feast for 60,000 MMK.
Afternoon Tea & Chill

The Classics: The Strand Café offers their legendary Myanmar High Tea, while Yangon Excelsior and LOUNGE by Le Planteur provide that polished, European elegance we love.
