Le Mezz Bistro Bar sits inside the hotel and draws attention for attentive service, with staff described as very nice. A misstep with a kid's menu involved adult size crepes being served and charged. A breakfast charge to the hotel account was higher than expected. Fries did not meet the hoped crunch, but the burger and onion rings were very nice.View restaurant profile

Pavillon 67 offers a buffet gourmand experience that many guests describe as stylish and generous in scope, with attentive service and a bright, upscale atmosphere, especially for weekend visits, while others find the overall value diminished by price hikes and a leaner menu.

Quality is described as variable: standout desserts and certain seafood and meats still impress, yet others lament drier cuts, overcooked pastas, and a seafood bar that no longer matches former standards. Dessert offerings remain a frequent highlight, with some reports of creamier textures and others calling certain options mediocre or too sugary; in some visits, crême brûlée and crèmes brûlées were missed. Service is repeatedly praised for professionalism and courtesy, even when kitchens are busy or understaffed, but wait times for seating and drinks can be lengthy. Brunch on Sundays garners particular affection for its range and view, but reservations are advised since popularity drives congestion. In sum, Pavillon 67 remains a solid staple for buffet lovers, yet many guests caution that recent changes demand tempered expectations and careful timing to maximize value.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Buffet BRAVO ! is described as a lively venue with fresh, delicious food, generous portions, friendly service and a cozy yet electric atmosphere that many feel offers good value for celebrations. Reviews praise a wide menu and entertaining elements like live music, singing, a heated dance floor, and a welcoming, spacious space with a calm kids area that helps parents enjoy the night. On the less favorable side, some appetizers and mains are reported to be dry or lukewarm and not always flavorful, the music can be too loud for conversation, and a few comments mention unsolicited photos by the owner and value concerns.
