Don't know where to go for an all-you-can-eat feast? Look no further...
Ahhh the joy of an endless buffet! Plates piled high with all sorts of delights and eyes bigger than your stomach! While Sizzler might be a distant memory for many of us, Sydney is still home to some fabulous buffets (and the quality is a lot better too)! From Brazilian and Korean barbecue to a Japanese Wagyu feast and sensational seafood banquet, this list of the best buffets in and around the city is one to keep in mind next time that all-you-can-eat need hits!
Hands down one of the best buffet options in Sydney, Churrasco is a meat lovers paradise if ever there was one. Featuring slow-cooked barbecued and smoked meats like 12-hour smoked beef brisket, BBQ Brazilian rump cap, and four-hour smoked crackling pork belly, the tantalising meat line-up here is enough to keep you on a protein high for days.
Included in the $65 all-you-can-eat option are salads and antipasto which are also served tableside, so you can pick from BBQ halloumi, creamy baked potatoes, cheese bread and fried banana as well as all the barbecued and smoked meat your heart could possibly desire.
