The Incredible Buffet In Rhode Island With Almost As Many Desserts As Main Dishes

A really good meal means we leave full and happy, but it doesn’t end with the entree. Sometimes the part of a meal we look forward to most is also the most decadent – dessert. While we generally begin our meal with an appetizer or a salad or a bowl of soup, we don’t always have to follow that tradition. One look at the dessert bar at this buffet in Rhode Island, and you might just want to mix things up a bit and start with a goody or two.

The Nordic, a seasonal restaurant in Charlestown, draws Rhode Islanders and visitors passing through for its epic buffet that's brimming with seafood classics and decadent desserts.
