Overall, La Vista is described as a beautiful place with a striking view, elegant atmosphere, and food that many reviewers find delicious and well presented, backed by attentive and friendly service.

Saint-Jérôme

International Asian Italian Greek Chinese Salads

Review Summary

Reviews of Saveurs des Continents describe a large all you can eat concept offering a broad continent-spanning selection with fresh salads, sushi, crab legs, prawns, pastas and desserts and a lively, family-friendly atmosphere, with many noting good value for the variety and a clean, welcoming setting; yet experiences vary widely by visit and location, with some praising fast service, attentive staff and quick clearing of plates, while others report slow or uneven service, dishes that are cold or overly salty, limited variety on some nights, and frustration over paying up front and automatic tipping or mandatory gratuity. Several comments highlight halal options added to the buffet and a preference for dinner hours to access extra choices; others mention price being high for what is offered and call for improvements in cleanliness, especially bathrooms, and in beverage service. Overall, Saveurs des Continents is seen as a solid option for groups and celebrations for those seeking a wide range of flavors, but not a five star experience, with calls for more consistent quality, better balance between variety and quality, and clearer labeling of halal items.View restaurant profile

Reviewers describe Saveurs des Continents as a vast open buffet with a world-spanning variety of dishes, including sushi, steak, roasts, seafood, pizza and pasta, soups and a dedicated Quebec section, with many finding the food fresh and flavorful and the price reasonable for the breadth of choice.
