All you can eat buffets. They can feel more like a challenge than a dining experience. But not only does the mammoth task offer more bang for your buck but also gives you the chance to pretty much try everything on the menu. Many buffets let you travel whole continents in a few plates. Sampling dishes you might never have tried before.
There’s something so simple about the buffet menu that means everyone in your party will leave satisfied. It completely eradicates the stress of trying to appease everyone. While Bristol isn’t exactly chock full of options, but the choices it does have are incredible. That’s why we’ve rounded up just four of the very best all you can eat buffets in Bristol.
1. COSMO
If you can’t afford a plane ticket to take you around the world, a quick trip to COSMO might be your next best option. Sleek and stylish, COSMO is likely a step-up from your usual buffet expectations. Plus, let’s you discover over 150 dishes from around the world on the all you can eat buffets’ menu.
From European specialities like spaghetti meatballs and Neapolitan pizza to comforting classics like Greek moussaka or a British shepherd’s pie. Or how about you travel the vast continent of Asia, with Mongolian stir-fried lamb, Chinese crispy duck rolls and an Indian tikka masala. Plus, the teppanyaki station is a totally unique experience and it is worth the ticket admission alone. The Japanese-style of cooking sees COSMO’s talented chefs rustle up fresh salmon, scallops, steak, and juicy tiger prawns on a hot iron griddle in front of your very eyes.
Other eye-catching offers include the roast dinner carvery (served beyond Sundays, so you can head down all week-long). While you’ll also find cocktails, fresh salads, all your favourite desserts, and so much more!
