| - Currently the best buffet in the GTA. It just has to be.
Spoonful is a new buffet located in the northeast corner of Shopper's World in Brampton.
It's owned by the same owners of Imperial Buffet in Mississauga. If there's one thing the owners know how to do, it's attract lots of people, and fast. When Imperial opened in Mississauga, word quickly swept the city and before long, the restaurant was packed daily. The same thing seems to be happening at Spoonful.
I hosted family member's birthday party here this past weekend. We had a reservation at 12pm - basically, at the beginning of the lunch rush. It was not too crowded when we came but the lineups grew fast. By my 2nd plate I was waiting in line for 10 minutes for the hot food table. I can see how this can be an annoyance for some, but personally I looked at it positively in that it gave me a longer break between plates. If this is a problem for you, the I'd suggest coming for lunch a little later or earlier, and avoid 12-1pm altogether.
It's really in terms of food where Spoonful stands out. They have foods that I've never tasted at buffets in the GTA before. Seafood bar, complete with oysters, snails, shrimps, mussels, and clams? Check. Soba noodle bar? Check. Sushi that's actually decent? Check (though lacking in variety on the sashimi front). Freshly grilled meats? Check. Churrasca pineapple (yes, the same kind that you have at Brazilian steakhouses)? Check. Made to order pasta and noodle bar? Check. And that's not even touching dessert.
Their have two huge tables dedicated to dessert. Fresh waffles and crepes, cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, ice cream, fruits, chocolate fountain, candy stations - they have it all. They even have a donut machine, where fresh donuts are made at 1pm for lunchtime every day. Amazing.
It's clear that Spoonful separates itself from the competition by letting you try foods that you wouldn't normally have at buffets. It's unique in that sense. I'd rank the quality of their food highly too, definitely at least as good as Wok of Fame. Their service is excellent - they were very accommodating and friendly. At this point, I see nothing but good things in Spoonful's future. I highly recommend them.
