Buffet des Continents is widely recognized as a popular destination for families and large groups looking for an extensive variety of international cuisine, ranging from sushi and seafood to roasted meats and comfort foods. While many patrons appreciate the vast selection, clean environment, and friendly staff, experiences regarding food quality, noise levels, and wait times can vary significantly. Some diners find the food fresh and delicious, while others report inconsistent seasoning, such as excessive salt, or limited variety in specific sections. The restaurant is known for its busy atmosphere, often resulting in long queues during peak hours, and some visitors have expressed frustration with the mandatory prepayment of gratuities or the lack of responsiveness from service staff. Overall, it is frequently described as a great value for those prioritizing quantity and variety, though expectations should be adjusted to reflect a high-volume buffet setting rather than fine dining.
La nourriture était bonne mais la cuisson pour le poulet pas du tout. Le dessert était miam! Je recommande ce buffet à toute personne qui les buffets à volonté.
Great place. Our first time back since before the 2020 lockdown nightmare. We waited about 15 minutes in line before getting a seat. Everyone has to wash their hands before being seated which was slightly reassuring. The food selection is really varied. There is something for everyone to enjoy. The food all seemed fresh & the bins were never empty for more than a couple minutes. Some of the selections were a bit too salty for my taste, but that isn't a deal breaker. My favorites had to be the Greek style pork fillets, the frog legs, & the cheesy garlic bread. The dessert selection was just as satisfying. Kids 12 & under eat free (1 free kid per adult) but you need to bring your child's Medicare card as proof of age.
We spent about $150 for 2 adults, 1 teen, & 1 kid under 12 for free. We didn't get drinks or coffees. Expect a noisy experience with that many people in one space. Lots of kids screaming, some birthday songs coming from different tables, & the food area was a bit crowded at the more popular selections like the sushi or ice cream bar.
Il y a une grande diversité de plats & de desserts tellement délicieux. C'est génial, surtout si vous avez des enfants. Le service est impeccable aussi, alors n'hésitez pas à venir.

We went inside after standing in line for an hour. Given how crowded it was, I expected high-quality food, but don't count on the quality at all. Most of the dishes lacked flavor. The salad & dessert tasted good, though. In my opinion, this restaurant is suitable for people whose goal is simply to fill their stomach, not to enjoy high-quality food.
Overall, I would give a rating for every category a 3.5. In context,we came for brunch on a sunday & paid right when we came in, which was 137$ for 4ppl including tip which we had the option of 3,5 & 8%. Let's start with the food, the breakfast options were not the freshest including the hasbrown i had & the scrambled eggs my sister had. The crepes (not visible in the picture because it was under the french toast) were actually just pancakes that they poured over a pan of A LOT of butter & brown sugar right in front you (offered with peaches & chocolate syrup). The homemade breakfast potatoes on the hand were were really good, went back for a second serving. The rotisseries the cooks would cut for you, were obviously better quality, i got the smoked meat then i put it in some kind of bread to mimic the sandwich but it was too hard for my liking. Salads were good, fried chicken was soo good & juicy, & quesedilla i liked. The cheeseburger was also bomb. & there was a nachos station. Anyway, in general, lunch menus were more fresh. The pastries on the hand, like the cinnamon bun i had was cold as if it was left out the whole morning, which is to be expected i guess. Lastly, they do add fresh foods when they run out, the ones i saw were the churros & cheese sticks.My favorite dessert was the pudding chômeur. Additionally, my sister paid for a glass of orange juice for 4$ (not included in buffet price), which was offered to her by a waitress taking drink orders (they accept cash). As for the service & atmosphere, which was not inheritently bad since we didnt have much interactions besides straightforward & friendly, the cooks & bus boys looked tired & stressed (which i dont blame & completely understand)-- The place was busy & bustling, honestly, OVERSTIMULATED me a lot.
Only & best buffet in Montreal , large all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant in Brossard, QC, offering a big variety of dishes from different continents - Italian, Greek, Asian, seafood, meats, salads & desserts.
Atmosphere is super cute gives Las Vegas buffet vibes. This place used to be a lot better before Covid & I am sad to see how it's changed.
I think there is a big issue with parents, bringing their kids here & letting them touch everything & causes severe hygiene issues. Guys please control your kids it's embarrassing 😭
The kids behaviour is at the dessert station was very scary & not up to health code whatsoever.
I keep seeing repeated reviews on Google maps of this place giving customers food poisoning amongst a few comments & stories from people I know in person getting sick from this place so I will not be returning. I have not personally gotten sick from this place, but I feel due to the price increase, quality decrease, & behaviour of unruly guests, & children that it is not a safe restaurant to return to if you are prudent about your health.
Also, we brought my cousin there who is obviously a child & they asked us for an ID for her, but she is a child & does not carry around a wallet so we had to pay for her. Really disappointed.
Les enfants ont gâché ma soirée. Je m'explique: tout allait bien jusqu'à ce que j'arrive au dessert. Une enfant devant moi avec sa mère qui était occupée ailleurs qui a littéralement plongé sa main dans le Jello au fraises. Jamais plus...
A lot of variety of meat, seafood, sushi, soup pho noodles, pasta, pizza, dessert, salad, & fried stuff, they have steak, rosbif, smoked meat, chicken, roasted porc, its a lot of meat, if you go on a monday or tuesday, you have less wait than if you go thursday, friday, Saturday. I recommend you try at least once :)
Kids friendly & family friendly. Its more high class than vichy & lastanza. But have as much & even more food than them. I surprisingly find it a nice place to go, & price is affordable. & for a buffet, its much more affordable than jardin de seoul, korean bbq grill, hot pot, sushi bar close by etc.
Buffet Des Continents truly impressed me with the amazing variety of dishes from so many different countries. There are plenty of halal chicken & beef options , which I really appreciated-just make sure you don't accidentally grab the frog legs thinking they're tiny chicken pieces 😄.
The place is budget-friendly, & the staff is very warm & welcoming. I loved the sushi & live steak station where you can have your steak cooked just the way you like it. The desserts & salads were excellent, & the fish dishes were surprisingly good too.
Overall, a great dining experience with something for everyone. Highly recommended!
