Bambú Oriental Restaurant

Bambú Oriental Restaurant is the Asian-fusion restaurant at Hotel Palarine in Erts, on the road between La Massana and Arinsal. The hotel welcomes non-residents, so the restaurant is an option for visitors who are not staying overnight. Its current operator page describes an à la carte menu of freshly cooked Asian-fusion dishes and also advertises seasonal buffet evenings. During winter, the hotel has hosted an oriental buffet, a Thursday party night with live music and a Friday curry buffet; these are event formats rather than a promise that the same schedule runs throughout the year.

The à la carte concept centres on Asian cooking, with Chinese and broader Asian dishes appearing in the restaurant’s profile. Current map-derived listings mention choices such as rice, chicken, duck, prawns and other seafood, while past guest accounts describe Chinese and oriental dishes served in the hotel’s dining room. The hotel presents Bambú as a restaurant in its own right, not simply a breakfast room reserved for guests. Non-residents are welcome for the à la carte service, and the hotel invites visitors to book, which is particularly sensible if you are travelling from outside Erts or want to attend a themed evening.

The restaurant’s offer changes with the season and the hotel calendar. The hotel advertises an all-you-can-eat buffet on winter evenings, with a later closing on Thursday and Friday nights, and a Thursday party-night format pairing live music in the bar with an oriental buffet in Bambú. Friday curry nights feature dishes such as chicken tikka masala, beef madras, lamb jalfrezi and tandoori salmon, alongside rice, breads, vegetables and accompaniments. Sunday lunch is promoted as a traditional roast with beef or pork, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, vegetables, starters and desserts. These themed offerings are seasonal or date-specific; check the hotel’s event updates before travelling rather than assuming they are available on every visit.

Breakfast is another hotel dining service, but it is distinct from the Bambú à la carte menu. The hotel describes its Palarine breakfast as a hearty start for winter-sports days and says non-residents can attend by reservation. Picnic lunches can also be ordered for an early start or family outing, with the hotel asking guests to place orders by 21:00 on the previous day. These options can make the property useful as a food stop for people exploring the surrounding mountains, but availability and opening depend on the hotel’s seasonal operations. Confirm breakfast or picnic arrangements directly before building them into a trip.

Hotel Palarine is located on the Ctra General d’Arinsal in Erts, La Massana. The setting is on the valley road rather than in the centre of La Massana or at a high-altitude ski station. This makes the restaurant accessible by road from the neighbouring villages, and it may suit visitors who want a hotel dining room away from the busiest resort-centre streets. The hotel’s contact page gives the general address as Ctra General d’Arinsal, Erts, Arinsal, La Massana AD400. For navigation, use Hotel Palarine as the destination and check the route if weather or road conditions are poor.

The hotel publishes its current contact number as +376 737 393 and email as info@hotelpalarine.com. Its restaurant page says non-residents are welcome at the buffet and à la carte service, with booking appreciated for buffet evenings; breakfast for non-residents is reservation-only. Contact the hotel to ask which restaurant service is running, whether Bambú is open to outside guests on your date, what the current menu includes, and whether a themed buffet needs to be reserved. If you have food allergies or dietary requirements, ask about ingredients and preparation in advance rather than relying on a general “Asian fusion” description.

The available directory schedule places the à la carte restaurant in evening service on Tuesday through Saturday, with Monday closed and Sunday offering both lunch and dinner. It gives Tuesday through Thursday 17:00–23:00 and Friday–Saturday 17:00–00:00; Sunday is listed 12:00–16:00 and 19:00–22:00. The hotel’s own contact page still shows older seasonal schedules—Summer 2025 and Winter 2024/25—rather than a dated 2026 timetable. The map schedule is therefore provisional, not an operator-confirmed current calendar. Check directly, especially if visiting on Monday or Tuesday, during shoulder season, or outside winter.

Bambú is a useful choice for a group with varied tastes: à la carte Asian-fusion food is available alongside hotel buffet events, roast lunches and occasional curry nights. It differs from a dedicated Chinese takeaway or a large city-centre buffet because it is part of a small mountain hotel and its special services follow the season. For an ordinary dinner, confirm the current à la carte service; for a themed buffet, check the date and book. Visitors not staying at Hotel Palarine are welcome according to the operator, but advance confirmation helps avoid arriving during a hotel closure or a service that is not running.
