    We were promptly seated but that was the highlight of the experience. We waited about 15-20 minutes…read moreuntil we flagged down a waiter to take our order. Then our appetizer (oysters) arrived but our wine did not. After we watched the adjoining table who arrived after us received their drinks and entrees (but no silverware), I waved down first a busboy and then the maître d', we finally received our warm Sauvignon Blanc that I can only imagine had been sitting at the bar for quite some time. After we finished our wine and our entrees had still not arrived, we asked for the check explaining that we didn't care to wait any longer but instead, after another wait, they brought us our meal. The food was overcooked and barely warm - likely from the extended time under a headlamp and the salad was okay but nothing you couldn't get anywhere else. Given, Place Jacques-Cartier is a tourist spot but this was some of the worst service I have ever experienced at this price point.

    The patio is a great place for a nice dinner, but that was the highlight. The food looked better…read morethan it was. The steak was slightly over cooked and grisly, but I could have overlooked that if they had any seasoning. My wife asked if that was the way they do it, but any salt and pepper would have moved the dish to 3 or maybe 4 stars. My wife's lobster pasta dish again, looked great, but she took a few bites and pushed it away. Service was fine for a tourist area, but certainly not finer dining.

    Been to this place how many times food was great and alot of it service was goood and ambiance was…read moreok but

    I said I wasn't going to do it on this last visit, but I broke down. I'm talking about going to…read morethe buffet at Saveurs des Continents, the apparent new name for Buffet des Continents. The newer name means "flavors of the continents" when translated into English and that probably has a better ring to it than the previous name. The dishes here go all the way from 2 to 5 stars, so that averages out to 3.5 stars, which isn't so bad considering how much choice they offer. Mostly I take from the Canadian-North American, Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern food. They also have a staffed grill where they can cut you a nice little slab of meat. They have a section with Asian food and I also noticed a sushi area, the latter of which is beyond my line of demarcation. This is why, as I've said on the previous review, you will be breaking bread with people from 5 continents. (Should there be a token Australian in attendance, that would take it up to 6 continents.) The service at Saveurs des Continents is fine. Be sure to engage the server in such a way that they don't forget you and won't clean off your table while you are going up to the buffet line to get another plate of food. (I've had that happen up at St. Jerome once, and the place was far from full.) In this case, the server and I spoke Spanish and he didn't mind at all because, after all, this is Montreal and it subscribes to the concept of a "cultural mosaic." Bring it on. There is also a person who will come around to take a drink order, but I go with the included coffee or tea. With all that said, the pricing scheme is fair. It is slightly different depending on the time of the day and day of the week. The pricing includes a gratuity to the tune of about 12.5%, if I recall correctly, that they distribute to the employees. You are free to give your server a little bit more if you choose to. So, in revisiting Saveurs des Continents, I'm going to go with 4 stars. They offer a lot of food choices across a broad spectrum, fair pricing, decent service, and a unique brand of quirkiness and diversity that you don't easily forget. Also, with REM joining the Metro system and Exo commuter trains, this newer light rail system can take you from the city to the south shore. Your stop will be the Panama station and, from there, there is a pedestrian underpass and path that goes to the shopping center with this buffet. One thing is that it will be easier to get back home with the light rail and not think of having to adjust your tilt steering wheel upward. Finally, if this American manages to come in here once on each visit to Montreal area, then this Saveurs des Continents is more realistically a 4 star sort of place.

    Saveurs Des Continents - This setup, which shows a vast number of serving areas, is fairly kitsch and I'm not even showing you the Eiffel Tower to the left
