Pavillon 67, buffet gourmand

For the price I expected a lot more. A couple things that stood out. The calamari was overcooked so much that it was hard as a rock. It's almost like they've never made it before & it was their first time. Fried calamari should have soft batter exterior & when you bite in the calamari shouldn't be stringy.. The batter was rock hard & the calamari inside was unrecognizedible so I can't tell you if it was string or not. It was just a chunk of overcooked meat.

They have these beef dumplings that again the outside was cooked so much they were rock solid. I'm beginning to think they must have had a health scare & now they overcook everything to be safe but it's killing the food

The shrimp would be good if they served whole shrimp. Instead they do a grill version & they put the whole shrimp as part of another dish. The whole shrimp by itself will be fine. You don't need to do anything else with it. Or at least give us the option to have it that way without making it a part of another dish.

Also some of the food was over salted. To the point that it was actually hard to swallow.

This is very bizarre for a restaurant that charges $155 ( after tax) for two people.

It's also ridiculously loud in the restaurant. It seems like people have forgotten their manners. Maybe this is just the way casinos are. I don't know. I'm not an expert. I just know it was uncomfortable.

I could have a better dining experience at a buffet for a lot less than what I paid at this one. We just thought since it was so high priced it would be amazing. It was not even close. It was so far away from amazing that the light from amazing would take 10,000 years to reach us. That's how far away from amazing it was.

The only thing that seem to be done right were the desserts. They do desserts great. I can't say a single thing bad about the desserts. So if you survive the meal I guess you can have a treat after.

For the record it was Saturday night that we went. That's a night they consider a gourmet night. If you've ever been to a Mandarin restaurant in Ontario, you know that the weekends are the best. They serve amazing seafood & they have crab legs. It's incredible. They don't charge even close to what these guys charge. So again when I saw the price & heard it was gourmet I thought we were in for something special but this food was dry, lacked, flavor, over salted, overcooked & simply not good.

This is my first & last time at this restaurant. I won't be coming back.

I can say it's a good experience with great, friendly service & clean, decent quality food. For 55$ per person for dinner, the foodie in me was jumping with joy with the amount of options you get to eat. The place is very well organized & super clean. Must try!

Buffet très goûteux, avec des options pour tous les goûts( poissons, viandes, pâtes, salades, etc ). Belle ambiance & une vue magnifique sur Montréal, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.
Effectivement il n'y a pas un énorme choix, mais tout est vraiment savoureux & bien préparé. Gros coup de coeur pour la salade de papaye & mangue ! ! Mention spéciale aussi pour le saumon sauce miso.
Le prix le jeudi est de 44 $, ce qui reste raisonnable pour la qualité & le cadre.

The place was very nice, the service excellent, but I must admit the food was rather disappointing. The rice was undercooked & crunchy, the salmon was dry & overcooked, & the desserts were very very sweet (big thanks for offering strawberries, as they were the only thing that was not too sweet)

The tuna tataki was delicious, but that would be hard to over or undercook.

For the price, the ingredients seem fine, I just wish the desserts were lighter & the rice/fish better cooked. The buffet options are a bit limited, so I would expect the few options to be prepared perfectly.

Since the beginning, they were very organized with all the bookings. Then after, the buffet was full with many different options, some of them were changed during the service giving the opportunity to try even more food. The service was flawless, the server took so much care of us, he was always aware of everything & the cherry on top, as soon as he knew it was one of the parties' birthday, he came with a little candle & sang for her. Unforgivable!

Disappointed, Saturday night buffet no longer the same. Price increased, no longer includes coffee or tea anymore, which we did not know. Been going for over 10 years, noticed many cutbacks. No more meat carving station, meat is already sliced & dry. Smoked salmon & shrimps changed, less quality & quantity available. Missing mashed potatoes, pilaf rice, pizza, BBQ ribs, etc. Less tasty options available, replaced with cheaper alternatives. New sushi section not good, too much vinegar in rice. Did not like the new Italian station. Too much pastas, cioppino wasn't good (tomato sauce tasted like it was directly from can, disgusting). We liked the new ice cream option (although very water based), but please bring back creme brulee or crepes Suzette. Desserts options are mediocre, quality keeps decreasing with them being just heavily sugar based. In all, bang for the buck is no longer there based on quality & quantity of options. Will not be returning anytime soon during the weekend evening option.

Beautiful interior. Many options but no real standouts. Service was great & the Italian section was very good. Maple gelato was solid.

Great food, nice atmosphere… & then I saw a staff member (apparently in training) grabbing the part of the fork/spoon that goes in your mouth while setting the table. Seriously? Basic hygiene isn't optional, even'in training.' I thought you hired ITHQ graduates.

I have been in many buffets but this one was the smallest & very few food varieties.
I would suggest visite other buffets in Montréal or around. Also the waitress was very surprised when I asked her about their food options, & she added' what do you expect for that amount of money?' 😀
