| - Drained and hungry after 12 hours of poker, I came up to the 5th floor for this buffet. I saw the 4.5 star rating in a city like Montreal (the French really do know their food) and I knew I was in for a treat.
This buffet is spectacular. The plates are huge, so you don't have to keep going back for more every few minutes. Everything is delicious - I filled up on smoked salmon, osso buco, and pan-fried calf's liver. I try to get maximum value at buffets, but even I couldn't resist their delectable mashed potatoes (a "low value" item). I must have eaten a kilo or two of those potatoes.
Everything else was stellar, as well. The chicken, the mussels, the beef, the shrimp, the desserts - all were at least 4/5 stars.
I would have appreciated a comp after playing all day (apparently, they don't comp for poker), but Pavillon 67's prices are dirt cheap, so whatever. This was a $50-$60 buffet for only $30.
Next time I'm in Montreal I plan to eat at this buffet every day. It's the only buffet I've been to with quality that rivals high-end restaurants.
