TL;DR
In 2025 the East restaurant at Sofitel served HB dinner as a buffet, but in 2026 travelers report the concept may have changed — confirm the meal format when booking, as some hotels have switched to à la carte menus.

A traveler who stayed at Sofitel last year on half board is asking if the dining concept changed this year — dinner at the East restaurant used to be buffet-style, but it's now unclear whether it switched to a fixed menu.
