    Buffet des Continents - Plates 4-a and 4-b of 4:  Jello, chocolate cake, strawberry/vanilla cake, and pudding Chomeur ... all good.  I don't do this very often!

    Okay, this is the first Buffet des Continents in Quebec at which I've eaten, having eaten here a…read morefew times. I also tried the Brossard location once. My last experience was at this location in St.-Jerome and I'm writing an update for it. Let me say that this is a very nice store. This northern suburb skews newer and this restaurant aligns with that observation. It's also nice that it has a mezzanine and even an outdoor upstairs seating patio. This location has the leaning tower of Pisa in the midst of it while Brossard has the Eiffel Tower, making this chain kitsch in this regard, albeit with "clear" branding. I went with the typical 4 plate system: salads and vegetables, entrees 1, entrees 2, and desserts. I also had coffee. The variety of food is quite vast. Popular foods tend to be North American/Canadian, Italian, Greek, and some Asian and Mexican choices. There is also a rotisserie and carving station. The first plate with the salads and vegetables was uniformly good. For the most part, the second plate, with meat and fish, was also good. I had some issues with the third plate, upon which I had put on some slices of pizza and a small Greek casserole. Some of the items tasted a little flat, with the Greek casserole in a round tin being especially so. Then, the fourth plate was good, and it had different flavors of jello, cake, as well as pudding Chomeur. I laughed at all the jello that was on display, thinking that the residents of a senior housing locale would be very excited by all that jello! As for the pudding Chomeur, it wasn't as moist as what I had at the Brossard location. I want to add that I went into this Buffet des Continents within an hour of closing. I was immediately told that, because it was a week night and the patronage was a little low, it was not likely that additional food would be added. This could account for some of the mains being a little bland after sitting out for a while. The apparent manager was very friendly and helpful. The younger employees servicing the table were nice enough. However, in going up to the buffet area to get the next plate, I found my table cleared off not once, but twice! They rectified it and the manager explained that some staff members were newer. I found these errors both irritating and funny because, with a packed house on a wintry day in Brossard, the serving staff there seemed to have connected with the patrons, as in engaging with them and remembering them, such that my table was never erroneously cleared. For four plates of food, the week night dinner price was definitely fair. I also like that this store/chain has adopted a system whereby you can have an automatic 12% put onto the tab that will act as a tip. I like that they chose a percentage between 10 and 15, which is about where I tip when at an AYCE/buffet sort of set-up. Take note that there has been a name change. Buffet des Continents is now Saveurs des Continents, which means "flavors of the continents" in French. This store could easily get back up to 4 star status. They have a very nice restaurant that is spacious, quirky, and interesting, and the distribution of what they feature has something for almost everyone. They just need to fix a few of the blander items, such as some that I mentioned, and it will be all good ... at least in my book.

Waitress brought water right away and we could go to the buffet. Drinks came immediately . Buffet was lit up with red lights very hard to see the food and the items we not labeled . Not many choices on buffet. Egg rolls , Sweet and sour chicken and chicken wings are good. The won ton soup delicious. The other items fried rice, lo mein, goulash, chow mein, were mediocre at best. For one soda and two adults to eat buffet was $40.60. Then 20% tip, waitress deserved it, she was nice. Not sure why take out menu has more items or they don't offer that same menu for dine in.

    Two things I did not like was the guest relations service and the food presentation. The people at…read morethe counter or receiving area was a little grumpy and all-business like when we came in to inquire about the food and pricing. There was no warmth or cordiality to the interaction. I also do not understand why they had to use red lights at the buffet table. It is hard to make out how the food looked with the red spotlights directed onto it. You will only ever see the food clearly upon bringing it back to the dining table. There were also no labels for the food. It will be nice to have some captioning or description as to what the dish is. (i.e. mixed vegetables, pork spring rolls, general Tao chicken, sweet & sour pork, etc.) I came in with my Muslim friend and he had to inquire which dishes had pork in them. The saving grace of it all was the really good price for the meal. Dinner was just $14.95 ($16.90 with tax) per adult individual. For the amount of food you can consume that is really fantastic value.

    I use to go have breakfast with friends all the time. Last summer they even had an amazing special…read moreon breakfast if you went before 9 or 10am. I told my friend to come have breakfast with me we arrived there. Took 10 minute before we got the menu, we told her we didn't need it that we already knew what we wanted. She just ignored us and went back to talk with a table. Came back 5-6min later to take the order. Went back to talk with the customer, this is important because she punched the breakfast after the 9-10am special not because we were not there on time but I think thats what she wanted. We ended up paying twice as much for the same breakfast. Unfortunately this is not my only bad experience. Again for breakfast, they always have the same server lady. I came and waited 35 minute, I timed it. Did not see anyone got not service at all. There was only two table with customers one next to me that had received there breakfast and one on the other side. The waitress was talking with them almost the full 35 minute. I got up and left that was the last time I went for breakfast. Hope you have a better experience.

Fresh and tasty. Noodles are al dente. Pizza is made from fresh dough (you can actually taste it). Breakfast is also very good and fresh. Service is surprisingly good. One of the best services I've had. Coffee very tasty and fresh. The bad: We were new here and no signs saying if we had to wait or grab our own seat, so we were unsure. One set of bathroom is very oddly located. The place we were sitting made out table tilt to one side more than the other. Owner/manager is not a smiley person and gave out an odd vibe. We will go there again as we loved the food.
