After years of experience with this location, & being the SME of ayce, I would like to drop a fair review here, which also respond to a lot of reasonable negative reviews here.
First, let me start by saying that, there is no better buffet in Quebec. This is also not competing with those top Chinese buffet in Toronto. If you bring kids under 12, this buffet is REALLY CHEAP. There is a reason for the crazy line ups. The value is high.
For years, this restaurant has been cursed with the MALPRACTICE of embedding tips into the price without notice, it then asks for tips which fraudulently make customers double tip. Came back to visit last week, went twice & it seems they don't do that anymore after we did the math. However, like with the previous malpractice, there is absolutely no sign no mention about them rectifying it, so im sure lots of locals may continue to not tip anymore. But kudos to the restaurant for stopping the cheat.
Secondly, it is true that the service is lacking, until today. Any other decent buffet I've been in, my used plates would be removed when I leave the table. You'd be lucky if they ever come to clear. At this last visit, I asked to clear, he came to clear half only then disappeared. We gave up. Similarly with water refills, buffets are usually quick at it, not just for good service, but also to get clients full faster to save $$. Here you need to put conscious effort for water. But honestly, if they hire more, your bill will go up as well, then you will also complain more.
On the other hand, people forget that this is an affordable buffet (especially if you bring kids), there is really nothing more to ask from the restaurant besides the basics mentioned above.
Sure we need to pay ahead, so what? It is not uncommon on this planet. You know how convenient that is when you want to leave? You just leave, no time wasted on finding the bill & payment process. & guess what you can also easily skip the tips, not that I encourage. They already dont have enough people to serve, let's embrace their efficient payment way, so you dont have to wait more.
The food is great, i dont know what others are talking about. This is a quebec style buffet, remember. Check out the poutine, I bet you've never seen that much cheese curd at a buffet, they didnt cheap out. The stations of meat-carving for like smoked meat, steak, pork etc...they are generally great. (Inconsistent quality, but if 85 items are good out of 100, it is a good buffet, lets be reasonable). The pizza, salmon, wings, fried chicken, mussels, rings, veggies, pastas, quesadillas, etc are all amazing. Always filled up promtly until past 8pm. The dessert is a bit lacking, but arguably meet the minimum expectations. The Asian stuff like sushi & noodle station SUCK big time, but this is Quebec style, focus on the great 90%!
For our old local Brossardians, remember New Port & Vichy? This restaurant is the super saiyan version of them, all the old nostalgic selections have been retained. There is no better around.
Anyway, I just felt like giving it a fair comment, it is not perfect, but it is the best in quebec for its kind, & per dollar value.
Une belle ambiance. Il est recommandé pour les familles nembreuse. Le buffet est bien organisé, il y'a des souchis, des nuggets, des crevettes, somons, poulets, pizza. Pour les sucrés, il y'a des gâteaux, glaces, sauces chocolats noirs & blanc,...
We had a great time with family at Buffet Continental! 😊 If you're looking for good food at an affordable price, I recommend it. There's a great variety of food, & the prices are really reasonable for a family outing.
The only downside is that it was very crowded, but overall, we enjoyed the food & had a wonderful family time. ❤?
Definitely recommend! 👍

This is my 2nd time entering this place.
Last time as Iwas here was for breakfast/lunch with a friend of mine.
We enjoyed it
Also met another friend of mine with her family. What a surprise it was seeing them.
Return with the said family in Aug.13th for a pre birthday 🎂 celebration .This time it was in the evening. There was a long lineup, but it there's no long wait. It went well.
Tried a different assortment of meals (buffet). All in all ....it was an enjoyable evening & experience & looking forward to agsin coming back for another buffet .😀😀😀❤?❤?❤?👍👍👍👏👏👏👍👍
We waited almost 40 minutes just to get in, & the buffet was absolutely not worth the wait.
The food selection was quite average, & the sushi selection was especially disappointing very limited for a buffet of this size.
The restaurant is extremely crowded, with a huge dining room that feels noisy & chaotic.
The service was poor. I ordered hot tea & was given a cup with a tea bag, but no one ever came back to offer a refill or check on us. My son never even received the drink he ordered.
Overall, this place did not live up to the hype. There are much better buffet restaurants in the area. I would not recommend it.
The food is varied, we have a choice.
The decoration is well
The daiquiri is not good at all.
Crepes, everyone has their preferences.
Washing oneself before eating for hygiene is excellent.
The service is superb.
Overall, really good. The best buffet in the area.
Nous avons vraiment apprécié notre expérience au Buffet des Continents à Brossard ! C'était tout simplement phénoménal. Il y avait tellement de choix que j'ai pu goûter plus de 9 plats différents, & chaque assiette était une belle découverte.
La variété du buffet est impressionnante : on peut passer d'un plat à l'autre, découvrir plusieurs saveurs & se faire plaisir selon ses envies. Les plats étaient bons, bien présentés & généreux. C'est vraiment l'endroit idéal pour ceux qui aiment manger varié & profiter d'un repas copieux.
L'ambiance était agréable, le restaurant est spacieux, & on se sent à l'aise pour partager un bon moment en famille ou entre amis. Le service était aussi appréciable, avec une équipe présente & efficace.
Franchement, nous sommes repartis très satisfaits. Pour une sortie gourmande avec beaucoup de choix, je recommande fortement Buffet des Continents - Brossard. Une très belle expérience que nous referons avec plaisir !
