TL;DR
Food is rated 3–4 out of 5: breakfast is varied (pastries, eggs, cheeses), seafood served daily at dinner, and there's a beachside bar with pizza and burgers. Menu variety is limited and repetitive.
For dinner there is an à la carte Mongolian restaurant (at the Pyramisa): guests select raw fish, seafood, noodles and vegetables, which are then stir-fried in front of them. Reviews are positive. Reservations can be made by guests themselves with no limit on the number of visits.
The grill at dinner features rotating options — sometimes shrimp, sometimes fish — and is highly rated by guests. Rolls are made to order from several types of fish.
Seafood (fish, squid, tiny shrimp) in the main restaurant appears only occasionally — roughly once every 10 days — in vegetable ragout, pilaf, or seafood soup. This applies to the 'Front' restaurant; the 'Sport' restaurant may differ.
Lunch is available in three locations: the hotel's own main restaurant, the neighbouring 4-star hotel, or the beach grill bar.
The beachside restaurant serves bruschetta with red fish at breakfast — some guests have it several days in a row. The main restaurant on the second line offered fish at breakfast on some days but not others.
Dishes guests highlight as tasty: breaded fish, rosemary chicken, breaded chicken, beef stroganoff, boiled beef with carrots (served at lunch and dinner), mushroom soup, and spinach soup. Whole baked fish (tilapia) is rated poorly.
Food at the pool and beach area (pizza, burgers, fries) dries out quickly in the open air. Flies are also a persistent nuisance.
Breakfast is fairly varied: fried eggs and omelettes, a wide selection of pastries, cheeses, sausages, pancakes, and toast. Overall food rating is around 3–4 out of 5.
Seafood is available in large quantities every day. No special weekly fish menu was noticed — it's simply served daily.
There's a beachside bar serving pizza and burgers. Watch out — birds are bold and will steal food right off your plate.
The main menu has limited variety and tends to repeat — for example, the same fish might appear in three different serving containers. That said, there's enough for everyone to find something to eat.
