Title: Best Buffet on a budget?
Post by: thatgirlkatie on July 10, 2012, 06:30:02 PM
Just wanted peoples advice on which they think the best buffet is. I'd quite like to eat there on the first night we get there, just wondered what people thought :) Bare in mind, we're both poor students so we don't really want to pay over €40 pp :)

Plaza Gardens is my favourite for the buffet and atmosphere, the Agrabah Cafe in Adventeurland, great themeing and popular with people on the forum, also Restaurant of the Stars in the Studios, but some people haven't liked the service. Not sure how much any of this would cost, but I hope it will come in under 40 Euros pp.

The la Grange (Billy Bobs) in the village is not bad.

My favorite is Agrabah Cafe, is one of the best restaurants in the resort and great value. The food is delicious and the theming brilliant. For us no visit to Disneyland is complete without one meal there ;)

I'm curious about buffet restaurants too. What food can i expect at Plaza Gardens and Agrabah Cafe?

It's quite a wide selection of food, hot and cold. Meat, chicken, salads, cheese, cakes, deserts etc. I haven't got an up to date menu, and I can't name you the dishes. The Agrabah cafe is popular with some vegitarians apparently, but they have meat and crepes for desert; I love their mint tea. I like the all you can eat buffets and think that they're good value for money.

I think so, Arabian food fits into the theme of the restaurant. I know they have crepes for desert, are they Arabian?

@ ed-uk: As far as i know crepes are french,aren't they? I'm simply asking, cause we're not into exotic food, therefore probably we'll try Plaza Gardens. Usually we prefer counter restaurants but they might be closed in the evenings as i've read...We'll see. But thanks for your help!

Plaza Gardens would be my first choice, too :thumbs: . Agrabah Cafe is worth a try, the food isn't very hot and spicey. :D

Thank you everyone for your answers :) Will hopefully try Plaza Gardens, it doesn't seem to expensive consider you can get unlimited drinks :)

I should put in a better word for Agrabah Cafe having dined there this week. I think I may have given the impression that the food was Arabian when I should of called it  Mediterranean cuisine, also serving meat balls and pasta, Moussaka and Couscous etc, and not just Arabian food. In fact I enjoyed it a little more than Plaza Gardens this this time around.

Have you thought about one of the buffets from one of the hotels? We have tried the buffet at Cheyenne and found it to be in expensive and offer a wide range of food. Cost approx 26 Euros plus drinks.
