Buffet des Continents operates as a large-scale international dining destination featuring an extensive array of global cuisines displayed across multiple thematic stations. The establishment highlights a vast selection of hot and cold dishes ranging from traditional Canadian comfort foods to diverse Italian pasta preparations and various seafood specialties. Patrons navigate an open floor plan where food is continuously replenished to maintain freshness across the sprawling service counters. Specialized sections often include dedicated areas for carved meats, fresh salads, and a wide variety of prepared desserts designed for high-volume service. The infrastructure supports a casual environment focused on variety, allowing diners to sample multiple culinary traditions within a single visit. This operational model prioritizes accessibility and volume, ensuring that diverse flavors from across the globe remain available throughout the entirety of the service period.
Buffet des Continents is widely recognized for its massive scale and extensive variety of international dishes, making it a popular choice for large families, groups, and celebrations. While many patrons appreciate the abundance of options, from seafood and sushi to grilled meats and desserts, experiences regarding food quality are mixed, with some noting that dishes can occasionally be salty, overcooked, or lacking in freshness. The restaurant is consistently described as a loud, bustling environment, and the popularity of the location often leads to long wait times, especially during weekends and holidays, as reservations are not accepted. Service standards vary significantly; while some guests enjoy friendly and attentive interactions, others report difficulty getting water refills or having plates cleared. Furthermore, concerns have been raised regarding the behavior of unsupervised children at food stations and inconsistent enforcement of policies regarding proof of age for children eating free. Despite these challenges, many diners find that the overall value and diverse selection offer a satisfying experience for those seeking an all-you-can-eat meal.
Very yummy food, always busy. Always long lines, but it's worth it when getting fresh food. Just be prepared to pay first & wash your hands before going in.
Exellente surprise par ce buffet des continents. Nous sommes allez moi & ma copine pour découvrir car nous venons pas du coin & quelle belle surprise! Le personel est chaleureux, souriant & professionnel. Grand buffet avec beaucoup de choix pour tout les gout. La cuisine est très bonne pour un buffet, & pour le prix, il y a moyen d'en avoir pour son argent très largement . La seul affaire que je pourrai dire c'est que sa peut prendre quelque temps avant qu'on vienne nous servir de l'eau. Mais à part de sa, sur la coche . Je recommende grandement pour le prix.
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...

Omg!! We ate there tonight. It was $44.90 each person because it was Friday!! It use to be a great place, its become horrible. The selection was terrible, a chinese food area, salad area, small Italian area that had cheddar cheese on the pizza, which was old & really gross. Too bad..im sure it won't be open for much longer.
L' option de pourboir indique 3%, 6% ou 9% .
Je trouve que c'est très peu. Il devrait y avoir l' option à 15% & +, car Martine notre serveuse nous à offert un excellent service & elle était toujours très souriante & advenante.
L'option de pourboir à 3% & 6% devraient être supprimée considérant que le salaire d'une serveuse est de seulement 12$.
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.
Wow,ja attendu ces moment toute la journée je est pas manger & rien bue jusqu'au moment où je suis arrivée il y a plein de variétés tu peut demander le nombre de viande au boucher que tu veut le prix est résonnable & ces gratuit pour les 12ans & moin
Tout a été excellent, mais malheureusement il y avait un groupe de personnes avec des enfants comme de 110 à 12 ans qui ont joué & crier presque tout le temps qu'ont était là & c'était très dérangeant. C'est pas une place pour jouer, courir & crier comme ça.
