Montereys Brasserie

I went for a Sunday lunch buffet and the price listed was $45. The buffet starts at 12pm and it gradually became crowded by 1pm. The seafood was the main draw for me. The mussels were succulent and fresh, prawns were juicy and sweet and the crabs were tasty and reasonably meaty. As you can see, I went for three rounds of it. There were other offerings too and they were quite nice. The desserts were good too and being a chocoholic, I only went for those and I was satisfied with their selection and quality. It was a good meal.

Seafood here is very fresh and stocked up regularly. The ice cream machine is a favourite with the kids and the tiny cakes and brownies are rich and delicious. There is a good variety of food available although tonight there seems to be a plate and bowl shortage. Some of them were not washed properly. You can help yourself to the coffee and tea as much as you want.

Not the best buffet in Perth, but I did dine with a Groupon. For the price I paid I got what was expected. There was not a huge variety of food, the best bit was the dessert table. They did not serve cheese with crackers, which I found really odd. Service was not very good, I had to go up to the bar to order drinks and ask for water a couple of times.

Surprisingly small selection compared to Crown's Atrium buffet, but what they had on offer for mains was suffice. Seafood on this Thursday afternoon consisted of prawns, crab and mussels. Loved the creative salads and a moorish carrot and ginger soup (Not a fan of ginger or soup but I'd have more of that because it was so good and tasted like pumpkin soup!). Stand out was definitely the desserts on offer. Not the lollies. The minature cakes and ice cream were delicious. It's all about desserts for me and Monterey's Restaurant buffet wins hands down over the Atrium. Good value. Friendly and courteous service.
