What guests say about Saveurs des Continents

The buffet offers a lot of variety, with several comments highlighting a good selection, a pleasant atmosphere, and often friendly service. However, many customers find the quality inconsistent, sometimes bland, dry, or repetitive, and some mention issues with freshness and cleanliness. It is also seen as fairly expensive, especially when it is busy or when refills are slow. If you are looking for lots of choices for a group or family meal, it may be worth trying, but expectations for consistency should remain moderate.

I love this place. The food fits the needs of everyone; from vegetarian, to meat eater, to halal option. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny you spends.

We used to love coming here for dinner because there were so many good food choices and quality was amazing. We recently went back for my son’s birthday and the food was not great. The taste and quality had greatly declined and the cost greatly increased. I honestly don’t mind paying for a good meal, but half of the food we tried did not taste great, was over cooked, not a good flavour. Of course everyone has different tastes but this was just not as good as it used to be. It’s sad cause this used to be a very good restaurant we loved to go to, but not anymore, sadly.

Buffet with a wide selection of food from different regions - Mediterranean, Asian, Canadian, etc. With such a wide selection, have to make 4-5 rounds just to sample the food. Hard not to overeat at this place. I didn't order any drinks but they do have an interesting set of cocktails. The servers cleared the table very quickly to make room for your next round. Glad to have tried a buffet restaurant while in Gatineau.

No new food when the dish is done they don’t bring new one (refill) but old food that been out since morning you can tell it been out for a long time. When you ask them they say no more food. This is how they bring it out not even full dish but half was gone from the morning or the other days. The dish the food is hard and doesn’t look like eatable.

I used to bring my family here for years. I decided to bring my mother-in-law and my nanny for Mother’s Day. Immediately when I arrived at the counter, I was greeted with very rude aggressive behaviour regarding my reservation. Also rude behaviour asking how large the party is when they’ve already seated half of our party so I was unaware of the total. It was mandatory that we pay before we were seated. Which also took another 25 minutes regardless of our reservation. 40 minutes into our brunch there was numerous trays that were empty and not refilled of course most of the meats, Four salad trays the bread and the soup that contained nothing but liquid. I did speak to them because we are paying the exact same amount as somebody that arrived earlier this morning I would expect things to be refilled on a routine basis. It’s unfortunate that this last visit solidified I will not return

The food is great for buffet style and the service was fair. It was $46 per person for the weekend buffet which is a bit pricey. Negatives are that you have to pay before you enter and soft drinks aren't included nor unlimited. You have to pay for every single one separately which is annoying.

I recently returned to the buffet for the first time in a couple of years and it was a horrible experience all items I saw in the buffet was full of salt and grease. There used to serve good choices and quality food when I visited the place before covid. I have no plans to go back unless things change drastically not a pleasant experience

If you eat there and never compared to Mandarine in Ottawa, 1/10 compared to Ottawa 10/10 also must pay in advance before you eat. This is a terrible place my girlfriend and I woke up with sore stomach this morning.

It's a buffet...By the time of our reservation, I could not find any fish left, only shrimps, and side options were limited too in our case. But we were there at the busiest time. Still, the experience was as expected, the kids and other guests were satisfied. The service was ok. The lever of noise was very high, this was the part I did not like. I do not remember it being this way in the past. Have people lost all culture?

Large space to accommodate a lot of people... there is a good variety of foods, most good quality, some less favorable but all in all enough to enjoy and be full. Paying for your meal prior to eating and then paying drinks as you go, is a little unorthodox to the norm and a touch annoying, but it is what it is. Overall this is a great experience and a good go to for large groups
