French National Day, called Bastille Day, commemorates the storming of Paris’ Bastille prison by angry crowds in 1789, sparking off the French Revolution that rid France of its monarchy - but last week when the Amari Rincome Hotel celebrated the occasion, it was their lunch buffet that was stormed. French items dominated and the decoration was fitting. But, contrary to the revolution, there were no angry crowds – in fact the French residents that came were pleasantly surprised. Samples of many French items, as well as Asian items, plus the La Gritta ambience and the friendliness of junior and senior staff seem to be a sure recipe for success. From left – Anan Hochindarat, executive assistant manager, Adrian W. O’Herlihy, and 3 of the Amari kitchen team.
