Sydney Four Points, Darling Harbour: Summer Offer on midweek seafood buffet
$30 seafood buffet lunch; $40 seafood buffet dinner
(Mon-Thurs, booking essential, mention "SUMMER" booking code), until Feb 29. (My stories of this place are restricted to work Christmas parties - the food was fine...) Advertised in local media, but booking essential, according to the ad. FYI it is at the hotel's Corn Exchange Restaurant - t. 9290 4760 / 9290 4816. I've not tried it for a few years - may be useful to some FTers! |
Best BUFFET/SMORGASBORD in the World ?
What's your pick ?
We have some pretty good ones here in Australia. One advantage we have is fresh seafood supply. Whilst i loved the buffets in Vegas (Wynn being my fav), all of the seafood was frozen. |
Wow, great question and I can't wait to see the replies! My fave is probably Planet Hollywood's Spice Market in Las Vegas, but I have a hunch there is *much* better out there and will surely want to try some of what will be suggested :)
|
The buffets that I make for my friends when they come over are the best in the world. Sizzlin good fresh foods right off the stove or out of the oven, nothing beats it :) Served up hot and fresh, 5+ meat choices and top notch quality.

Update for visibility!
This one slipped through the search. I have a couple more to add from Melbourne, Australia. - Family buffet at Melbourne Accor - Senior citizen and disabled diner-friendly buffet en route to Mornington Peninsula Very interesting, though not Vegas at all. ;) |

An asian-seafood buffet, with roughly 50' of cold seafood & salads, 50' of freshly made sushi & sashimi (and chefs who will make rolls to order), 50' of hot dishes mixing asian and western influances (Lobster Thermidor & Peking Duck), and a small array of fresh fruits and pasteries for desert. The quality is top-notch and it's not the usual "too long on a steam table" food. My favourite buffet brunch is in The Queen Marry in Long Beach, though I have not been there in a while. I definitely need to go back soon. They have a huge salon where they have the food presented in stations. They have a crepe station, the traditional brunch breakfast food stations as well as ethnic stations ranging from Italian to Mexican to Asian. Plus the best part is the champagne is free flowing. ^^ |
Not sure if they still have it any more but about 5 years back when I was working in Hong Kong, the Movenpick Marche on the top of the peak had the certain times where they had a pay one price for access to all their stations. Normally, you'd order dishes from various market-style made to order stations and they'd mark your ticket that you carry around with you so you pay a la carte.
Great location/view. Good food. Fun concept. |

I remember going there about 25 years ago when I was still a wee lad. In those days it seemed like the buffet itself was 100 feet long (probably a lot shorter) and it seemed like the desert buffet was 30 feet long (probably a bit shorter).
Can anyone confirm that this place is still open? If so, I see a roadtrip in the future :D ^ |

I was there for the first time (family lives in RIC) about 20 years ago and I was overwhelmed. I remember the "story" that the "Gone with the Wind" stairway was based on the one at the Jefferson (or maybe was the one from the Jefferson!)

there's a small restaurant in st. louis called astoria european cuisine. it's an all buffet restaurant specializing in russian food -- definitely go with an empty stomach, you'll feel pretty heavy on your way out the door. it's been a long time since i've been, but when i did, it was around $13 for dinner and $8 for lunch.

John Pinette on buffets
|
I can't access your link from work, but I'm assuming it's the bit that I have heard on one of the Sirius comedy stations. It gets repeated a lot and I never tire of it. ^
|
It's obvious Pinette has had a lot of experience with buffets. :D
Thanks for posting this - new to me. |
