Les Grands Buffets
And I'm back again
Reservation wait till for first sitting was 6 months.
Price is €65
There is a big renovation going on which will be completed by 2028
Queueing system the first sittings were lead into a make shift cabin and each room had a queueing line.
Although we arrived second in line, we were the 5th group to be lead in
We entered by what used to be the corridor for the toilets
And was greeted with a
*Welcome back to Les grands buffet*
Food was very very slightly different.
Truffle is in season so they're were a few truffle themed food happening.
Also the section where cooked food is which used to be there section one of each seafood, meat and veg is now just two section with a live egg and truffle station and a soup with puff pastry.
As I have previously been, I advised my friends to head straight for the cooking station. And took advantage.
This time I noticed that the popular stations like lobster and foie gras pate had staff posting and handing food over rather than you getting it yourself.
Was it as good as I remember?
Yes and no. Yes meaning I got to try a lot more food from the cooking station. No, believe it or not the food was only just luke warm.
And once again come 8.30pm and the buffets is absolutely rammed with people
However one plate stood out for me and that was the foie gras platter absolutely loved it especially the creme brulee foie gras pate that I regret not trying last time I was here
Would I go back?
I would, when they finish the renovation which I look forward to
