Fontana

A new era in buffet dining
Offering all-day dining, Fontana Buffet reimagines the buffet experience. Inspired by the world's great food halls, the restaurant features Chinese and Western favorites in a dynamic market kitchen. Diners can feast on a range of specialties at ten distinct food stations, each curated by an expert purveyor to showcase the season's most spectacular ingredients. Even while relaxing in a casual setting, each guest is also treated to stunning views overlooking the Performance Lake, from which the restaurant gets its Italian name.
Focusing on quality rather than quantity, small bites are passed fresh directly from the kitchen, taking guests to the next level of buffet dining. Chefs can recommend the dishes of the day and select the ideal ingredients of the season, creating a curated tour of delectable flavors.
A perfect space to celebrate with family and friends, the restaurant is a two-tier theater, with spectacular views overlooking the fountains. Drawing inspiration from the porcelain, textiles, furnishings and architecture of the Ming dynasty – the interior décor is a masterful recreation of Chinoiserie design in the 21st century. The dazzling Viardot Dragon mirror collection by renowned Chinoiserie artist Gabriel-Frédéric Viardot takes center stage in the buffet area. Viardot spent five years traveling all across the globe to complete this remarkable collection, which illustrates the significant influence Chinese art has had on European and American design.
