Lea GagnonThe 14 best buffet restaurants in Montreal that’ll make you line up twice!
I’ll be honest: I don’t think there’s a better place on earth than a buffet (my parent’s place comes in a close second!). There’s just something about it that brings out the inner child in us – whether it’s the big spread or the fact that nobody is there to judge you for getting seconds!
But get this – not all buffet restaurants are as good as you think. Some of them may have plenty of food but are poor in quality. Others have insane food quality but also come with insane rates.
Worry not, as I’ve provided a healthy variety of options here. Whether you want something more upscale or prepare the typical no-fuss buffet fare, these places will have you lining up many times! Check them out here.
