| - I could eat crepes in this little parisian village all day long!
My two favorite things about this buffet: the crepe station and the atmosphere.
I've eaten here twice, but the first time was on the last day of my bachelorette party years ago and I don't remember a whole lot... ;) This last time we went during our Buffet of Buffets experience (which I promise I'll review...soon) and I'd have to say it was my favorite buffet of them all.
We went for breakfast and I'm not a big breakfast person, so they had already started off at a disadvantage through no fault of their own! We stood in line for a good while but once we got close to being seated and I could take in the full effect of the ambiance, my mood transformed! How cute IS this place?! The food is set up at little village "cafes" where you can choose from the selection of food. We were seated in a little "cottage" off to the side...adorable.
The food selection ranged from your basic breakfast buffet foods...eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, various types of potatoes etc. There was an omelette bar, which I did not take advantage of because I was quite happy with my egg, mushroom, tomato scramble. After my first plate of "typical" breakfast choices, I headed straight for the crepe station. The line was substantial (I started to worry our server would clear our table thinking we'd left), but I was entertained by watching the crepes being made (now that's a talent I'd like to master!). There are many choices...to make it easy to order, they organized the menu into savory (hearty meal-like) and sweet (more dessert-like). You can also customize your order if none of the menu items tickle your fancy. I went with the fruity berry one and my husband went with the banana and Nutella one. Both were magnificently delicious! Pretty too! I'll have to search for some pics that I took...
Our service was decent. Honestly, I was up and down so much getting food I didn't really have much need for anything. She kept my juice replenished and I have no complaints.
The real experience was just the summation of it all. It's hard to put my finger on it...but I felt a certain degree of "special" from this place...and that's why it gets the 5 stars from me.
