Saveurs des Continents - Gatineau

DISGUSTING!!!! It had been over 5 years since I had been there, I told myself that maybe it had changed but not at all, even worse than before!!! I had a stomach ache until the next day…. I do not recommend in any way!!

Sadly, the last time I came here for dinner, I didn't like the buffet. The biggest complaint I have is the price. Close to $40 per person is crazy. In addition to the tip, and the drinks (apart from water) also cost money, and it comes at a ridiculous price. The food is truly (excuse my English) hit or miss. I've had times where the food was really good, and others where I would say it was borderline poison. The ambiance is really another matter. Everything is well placed, and you would think of a much more expensive buffet if you didn't see the food. Its well represents the countries they want to present
I give the buffet a sad 3.7/5

The food was honestly underwhelming especially the fried chicken.

To avoid. The food in the buffet doesn't look fresh, most of the dishes don't look appetizing the way they are presented. Lots of frozen and pre-cooked, several dishes of lower quality. Apart from the clearers who are efficient, the service is practically absent. Noisy atmosphere, the design of the building only makes the sound of unsupervised children running around worse.
For $10 more per adult, we have a much superior experience going to the Mandarin in Ottawa.

When you have children this is the place. Much cheaper! And the children benefit from it.

The food was meh as we had a project party there .however the structure of the building is very strong and secure as it easily held a group of 80 people on the arch steps for a group picture . Overall I recommend for structural integrity of the building .

You pay for your meal before you enter. They add an automatic service fee of 12% to the bill as a tip for the staff. They also prompt you on the payment screen to see if you wish to pay more as a tip.

There were no signs about the cost of the meal or the included fees. I only found out afterward when browsing their website to find out why it was so expensive. The meal for two on Sunday evening was about $100.

Last time I came was pre-pandemic, so it's been a minute, but they have a process now where you pay first. I'm sure there are valid reasons for it, but it's super disorganized. There was a line up all the way to the door, no standing room, and you don't get seated in any type of order. Servers come, tell them what tables are ready for how many and then they ask how many people are in your party and if you fit, you sit. 🤷🏻‍♀️ There was a larger party waiting for an hour to be seated, but meanwhile the upstairs wasn't even open. Also, half the food tasted like fridge or was dry AF. Weird.

The service is off charts, amazing service and the ambiance is amazing too. I really liked the crab salad, amazing and the cheese pizza. However, the other pizzas arent really good, the onion rings are rock hard, the veggie pizza does not get replaced so its always ice cold, the deserts are good but i dont recommend the caramel. The chocolate cake is amazing tho. Overall, the service and ambiance are amazing, but 31,99$ CAD a person for this food isnt worth it. I'd come back tho.

I went earlier in the year and didn't like the food. I returned on Friday October 8, 2024 since my partner wanted to go there for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised. This time I liked the food. I love seafood so there was unlimited crab legs plus mussels and good shrimp. You have to pay in advance, but I think it's because there are too many people that they left without paying. And, what's good, children aged 12 and under, so one child per adult free.

Too expensive for low quality. He
Lack of plenty of choice. I don't go back there unless there is a group event because it's a good space.
