5. Nordic Lodge - $135 4. Hotel Nikko - $68 or VND 1,650,000 3. Navio at Ritz Carlton - $249 2. Crab 52 Seoul - $200 1. Les Grandes Buffet France - $58 or 53€
@YASTravelsEatsWell Жыл бұрын
Les Grand Buffet at double the price would be a steal. The only issue is with the time limit is you find yourself waiting in numerous lines to order the 'special dishs', freshly prepared. Some dishes take 10-20 minutes to prepare!

I am french and while I am happy that classical french food is still renowned and keeping its own rank, I think I would have chosen Crab 52 instead of "Les grands Buffets". Although the latter is extraordinarily inexpensive for what you get.

I’ve been binge watching Mike san’s vids for years, and this list was pretty much what I expected. A little surprised that none of the Miami buffets did not feature, but I suppose that’s down to cost performance. (Miami places featured caviar if I remember correctly) Having said that, I vaguely remember that Crab 52 in Seoul was on par in terms of cost to Florida buffets. Love from Japan.

I suspect the caviar you get in Miami isn't caviar from Russia (sturgeon), which is the more refined and crazy expensive caviar. Same for Les grands buffets and most if not all all you can eat buffets.
@sonny905411 ай бұрын
@@lolilollolilol7773 That is pretty much correct, and Mike mentioned it in his vids. However there were a few that served sturgeon caviar albeit rare and expensive. My money is on that these were sourced from China since they are now the largest exporter of caviar, surpassing Russia and Iran.
