Unmissable buffets in Bristol

You don’t have to travel far to get acquainted with global cuisine, all you have to do is visit Za Za Bazaar and set off on a culinary adventure like no other. Inspired by Asian markets where you can find a variety of food, the buffet boasts cuisines from five continents including India, the Far East, the Caribbean, Tex Mex, the Americas and Europe. Standout dishes include sushi, vegetable gyoza, Punjabi samosas, nachos or classics such as good old pizzas. And if this isn’t incentive enough, all the dishes are cooked in front of you so you can make sure they’re fresh. Additionally, the interior does a great job at making you feel like in the middle of a food centre in East Asia – the neon lights definitely add to the atmosphere. The pricing starts at £17.99 per person for dinner during the week and is a great idea for a post-work gathering or pre-night out meal. It’s one of the best offers you’re going to find in Bristol.

It’s easy to see why Cosmo is so popular, it successfully attracts foodies with a promise of providing unlimited dishes from all around the world while making sure quality goes hand in hand with quantity. The venue specialises in teppanyaki, but the menu is also divided into Chinese cuisine, South East Asian dishes, Italian, British, small plates made of the most popular world dishes and mouthwatering desserts. For example, you can have crispy duck rolls as a starter, chilli con carne as a main and then dip marshmallows in a chocolate fountain for a sweet ending. Prices vary depending on the day, but if you head there for dinner during the week, it costs £16.99 per person. The price includes unlimited refills of soft drinks, plus a free glass of Prosecco on arrival if you happen to be celebrating your birthday with your friends.

Is there a better way to spend your Sunday afternoon than venturing into a culinary exploration? On Cathay Rendezvous’ menu, you can find Mandarin, Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine served on small plates that allow you to taste as much variety of dishes as possible. Examples include chicken satay, dim sum, hot and sour soup, prawn toast and a mango cheesecake for dessert – all for less than £20 per person! Cathay Rendezvous is the perfect place for those who don’t enjoy the way a typical buffet works as the food is brought to your table. Additionally, the restaurant is placed in an historic building – a former Georgian library which gives it a homely feel. Perfect if you’re planning a date or simply want to get away from busy streets and enjoy tasty food in peace.

How hungry are you? When you head to Casa Brasil, the answer doesn’t matter because you can eat as much or as little as you want. This all-you-can-eat buffet tempts you with unlimited tapas style dishes and BBQ skewers. For example, you can have beef meatballs in tomato sauce and pasta salad as a starter and choose from 13 different types of BBQ meat for dinner, then finish it off with one of the amazing desserts (think tiramisu that will almost melt in your mouth). Although the restaurant is dedicated mainly to meat lovers, you can also find vegetarian options on the menu: spinach and ricotta tortellini in a pesto and mushroom cream is a particular favourite. And if it’s your birthday, you can expect to eat free of charge! Just like the venue’s motto says, you come hungry and you leave happy. The prices start at £25.95 per person.

Burger Theory has an unmissable offer for £39.50 – the Bottomless Burger Club, which comes with free-flowing sliders and booze for two hours! Plus, that means unlimited sides too. We’re talking halloumi fries and hot wings smothered in blue cheese. We’re not drooling, you are.
