A big thank you to @Vessi for sponsoring this video! I am in total disbelief and awe in the best way possible. A trip to Narbonne France to visit a buffet? Is it work the 5 hour journey? It certainly is when it's the World's Best Buffet and it lives up to that title in spades. As nice as the buffets in las Vegas are, and as many try to replicate, but this is the irreproducible original.
This is a true celebration of food, the French culture, and the joy we get from a great meal together...but taken to the next level. @lesgrandsbuffets2437 does not shy away from the grandeur, the splendor, and the impressiveness of the French art of dining; it embraces it! The mind boggling varieties of complex classic dishes, the over-the-top hospitality, and the careful details and attention paid to all things dining, these are some of the things that make this the world's best buffet. The most important aspect that makes this the world's best? .. it's the people! You notice the moment you walk in from the friendly smile, to the pride, passion and care each member takes to provide an amazing experience.
Their iconic Lobster Tower rivals that of the Eiffel Tower ( and I suspect it's more tasty too), the classic dishes made of order with a brigade of chefs from the classic Canard Au Sang to the complex lievre a royale, and the stunning ambiance of the dinner theatre are just some of the reasons this would be worth the 5 hour journey; heck it's worth the travel from any parts of the world just to experience this majestic meal.

Thank you for showing us this classy, and elegant buffet. I must admit, for the price and quality of food and service, it beats any buffet in Vegas Bravo Tim! et Merci!
Vegas sucks. After they started charging for parking and got rid of reasonably priced buffers, vegas is rip off
I got a chance to speak to a few members there , and they mention that many people came here to try to copy the buffet, but so far , none has succeeded. Vegas is very nice, but yeah, it's not the same

Without a doubt, Les Buffets Grands is the world's gold standard for a buffet! It is a multi-faceted dining experience that tantalizes all the senses from all perspectives available. The exquisite architecture, the special touches made for dining customers, and of course the world-class foods that grace your palate. It definitely fits the bill of being the Disney World of dining which requires multiple days of experience to truly appreciate all its wonders. No wonder the term Bon Appetite is most appropriate here! I can appreciate how Tim is blown away by his experience. Hopefully, he has time to do a second experience soon, without filming, to take his time and capture all the wonderment for himself to enjoy.
...The Disney World of dining.. I cannot think of anything more appropriate. Thank you so much!
Is there a gratuity expected in addition to the price?
No. It's France.@@williamcullinan8309
Tim Lee. For this episode, take as long as you need.
The chandeliers and ornate walls were beautiful. The duck on the sword, my word. What a presentation.
The price of the buffet is unbelievable, for so much marvelous food 😋
I laughed so hard at the number 11 cheese and your reaction.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback. Yes, number 11 was a surprise indeed😉
@@TimLeeLetsGoit looked exceptionally stinky and strong!
Tim-I saw Le Grande Buffet featured by another bloggers believe it was Mike Chen(Strictly Dunpling) a few months ago.
However I must say that your coverage was so much more detailed& thorough.that you have compelled me to put it on my bucket list.Love the way you interact with the staff & indeed in all of your videos.
Thanks for sharing
Stay healthy& keep travelling my friend
Omg bucket list for sure!
I agree, I saw Mike's video, he is excellent but Tim's review seems less rushed and honest. One thing that I remember is that the recommendation is to reserve 2 days in a row, if possible, especially if you are coming over the pond.
Yeah, Mike Chen has featured that place and there is no comparison with the way Tim did. No doubt Tim’s video is much better. By the way, I used to follow Strictly Dumpling before but I stopped when I learned and knew about Tim Lee.
This was overwhelming and over the top. One thing that impressed me the most was the team and owner wanted to preserve the grand fine dining experience, and make it accessible to many people by keeping the prices reasonably affordable. My hats off to them!
Me too - my bucket list.
What an amazing spectacular buffet.
Out of the world price for $60!!!
Tim! No need to apologize! This was an amazing experience for you and us. It did not seem long at all. Time flew by. We would love to see you go there again.
Thank you so much.... It was a very nice evening, and I for sure did not mind the length that it went on 😋
Hey Tim, I am French, that mystery fish "Seiche a la Settoise" is squid chunks. Thank you for this great video, I hope you have enjoyed your time in France.
Thank you so much ! It was very tender and i would not imagine that that would be squid . Very tasty
Hey Tim, I can't thank you enough for this video, to me it was not long enough, thank you for celebrating French cuisine and see your appreciation, it is an honour. Love your energy, wish you all the best❤❤
No doubt the most famous buffet in Europe. Just a couple of hours away from Barcelona by a fast train. Always crowded because gets the real classical french point of view about food (more than one hundred cheese flavours).
The cheeses were amazing 😋
I was wondering if I missed the price-$65!! That’s surprisingly reasonable. Thanks, Tim for a wonderful video.
I am impressed with their pricing and i suspect they do this so that it is accessible to many people
Wow, that's all? $65.00 for everything???
I didn't even notice how long the video was until you mentioned it! I was so mesmerized by everything. The scenery, the food was just beautiful! And the cheese! I'm not a drinker, but the cheese and the ham I would destroy! And all the chocolate???😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated and it was quite an incredible evening
I spotted the vid length at the start, and thought maybe it was a completely unedited vid - the vid length is longer than many buffets let you eat for!
Tim…you are living the dream…traveling all over the world to eat luxury food!
Thanks for bringing us with you! What a beautiful place , the food looks great!
Fantastic. I still remember when Mike Chen did a video on this buffet, but I think you outdid him in showing us the full experience.
This French buffet is absolutely stunning to behold! Tim, you are so lucky to have the opportunity to be in France for this memorable occasion. Bon appetit!
Never could i have imagined being able to visit places like this. Really grateful and humbled for this opportunity
Tim, this is totally epic! Amazing, extravagant, over the top. The décor, the service, and especially the food look outstanding! Les Buffets Grands deserve not just a follow up vid but a series!
PS-The Canard au sang is known in English as “pressed duck”😋
It was truly a remarkable experience . Could never have imagined anything like this
Your videos are so wholesome, soothing, and positive. They're like an antidepressant for me haha. There's some great buffets in Thailand (Copper Buffet, Orchid Cafe, Baanmama) and Shanghai (there's some ayce Japanese places with unlimited king crab, uni, foie gras, and chutoro).
Thank you so much for your kind comment. It is such a privilege to get to connect with this community. As nice as the food is, it's really about connecting... Getting people excited to connect and travel 🙂. Thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions, now I am tempted for Thailand 🙂
Oh, for the love of Bourdain ! That may be the most insane presentation I’ve ever seen in my life.
Always a treat when you upload. There's something about your tone, your subtle accent, the slower than usual pace that makes your videos enjoyable.
Thank you so much! I won't say I have a French accent though😉
What elegance. I don't know how anyone can decide what to not eat, given the offerings at that buffet. What a magnificent feast. So cute how the French patrons were self-conscious being filmed. You could see they were very curious. Lovely treat getting a tour of this superb buffet. And only $60.00?
I hope you feel better soon. 💜💜💜@@kapiatgatas
@@jamesdove8021
It’s rude to keep filming, follow local customs which I feel he doesn’t
Lighten up. It's just a buffet. No one appeared offended. They appeared charmed. Not sure how you became the authority on this, anyway. @@krislv9219
how much were the drinks though
Wow! I have never seen anything like this. Thanks Tim for going out of your way to see this wonderful buffet. The flaming duck presentation was incredible!
Thank you so much 🙏. It was quite the experience and I did notice the flaming duck started to splatter a bit😃
Tres bien! Magnificient buffet! Merci, Tim for showing us the lavish culinary displays. You looked like you enjoyed every bite (and sip.) Yum. 😋👍👍 Truly one of the top dining experiences so far. 🤗❤️😘
It was truly impressive... there were several times in during the evening where I was questioning whether this was real 😉
Tim, one of your most epic videos at an unbelievable dining experience. This place is on another level. I was smiling ear to ear and salivating the whole hour.
I could not believe how long the video was. I'm you going in that it would have been long because of the size of the buffet , but editing was another story 😉. It really is a spectacular buffet and you're right , it's dining on another level... And affordable to many people
What an amazing Buffet. I could never imagine such an establishment in France. I was born in Paris France in the 70s and such places didn’t exist back then. French gastronomy is one of the best and most complex in the world. All the dishes at this buffet reflected that. Merçi Beaucoup Tim. Your French was not bad.😊😊PS that plate was not chicken but veal (Veau)
It was very impressive and no where but France could I imagine anyone pulling off the complex french cuisine in the rapid secession of the buffet while keeping the style and elegance
To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🙌 😊❤
That’s very kind and thoughtful of you, there should be more folk in the world like you. ❤
Thanks you too ❤
@@arriesone1 ❤️😊👋👏
Wish you the same, thank you.
@@cryptoconfused3400 😊👋
I do believe that is the best buffet! The dessert section was decadent and the best one yet. Thanks for the visual experience Tim!
It was quite grand , everything from the interior to the food and of course to the desserts 😋
Mon Dieu! Incroyable! This place is absolutely epic. A meal of a lifetime, I'm sure. Thank you Tim for introducing it to us. Hope you've recovered from the decadence! Looking forward to part 2. Merci beaucoup from Toronto. 😃
Greetings from vancouver ! It was quite and extraordinary event for sure
@@TimLeeLetsGo Yes! You looked thoroughly satisfied. And amazing value too. Impressed by that service!
This is what I call the Ultimate buffet!! Tim great job food was beyond on point. Take all the time u need when u find a gem!!! You spend all the time u need to explore this buffet, this is not a buffet u could rush through. I loved every moment, I'm gonna watch again. Thank you!!!!Warmly Cookie 🤗🎃👻
Thank you so much again. This was quite unbelievable...so grand and everyone was so kind. Even at the hour mark, there were so many things I was not able to show...
You come across so sweet, friendly and humble. You deserve these lovely experiences. Stay blessed 😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment, really grateful to get to visit and share these places with this community here🙏😀
Best buffet ever! Just beautiful. Thank you Tim. I hope you enjoyed yourself. I really enjoyed this buffet with you. Your such a gentleman and you have wonderful manners. Be safe and God bless you as well.
Coffee with caviar could have been left out.😮
Omg, this buffet totally deserve its name. It's on my bucket list now. Totally worth traveling to if anywhere in that region.
Although after this epic video. It's going to be really hard to get a seat now.
@Tim Lee: Thank you for making and sharing this video. This restaurant looks beautiful. The food looks delicious!
It was also nice to see the friendly and helpful staff.
If you haven't done so already, please do a Part 2 of this video showing us what you didn't get to the first time you came to the restaurant.
It was an amazing experience and thank you so much! Much appreciated and will get part 2 out😀
Your face at the 11/10 cheese made me literally laugh out loud! Absolutely love your content and your kindness 🥰
Oh , that was very strong and took some getting used to , but it grows on you
@@TimLeeLetsGo like mold?
😂😂
I love that this video was longer, the place looks so worth the visit. I would love a part 2!
Thank you so much for the visit . At the start just looking at the buffet , i knew it was going to be longer but had no idea it was going to be over an hour 😀
This has to be the most exquisite elegant buffet you have ever visited 🤔...all the food looked amazing . glad you enjoyed yourself, safe travels, have a great week and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Thank you Jade. This was definitely a highlight and at some points i cannot believe i was there.
The best of the best!!! Exceptional service and food!!! Its everything I dreamed it would be. Thank you for taking us along on your culinary adventure it was appreciated more than you know.
What a feast! I found myself with my mouth agape at all the delicious French dishes, the huge cheese display, the incredible dessert selection that just kept going and going (cakes! pastries! crepe suzette! ice cream room!).
It was a wonderful spectacle . They really know how to make dining extraordinary
WOW!!! That was incredible! I can't believe The Grand Buffet for only $65. What a deal! You did a fantastic job, I couldn't stop watching! Cheers! I became a new subscriber! 😊 Joe
I was quite surprised at the price as well... They have full respect for making this experience accessible to as many people as possible 🙏
Oh my, you've really outdone yourself this time Tim! The selection looks amazing, and of course, such a magnificent setting to dine in.
I was certainly in awe of everything; the setting, the food, and the people..
What a beautiful dinning experience that showcases the best of French cuisine.
Champagne...caviar...living the high life, Tim...and well earned!
It was quite an impressive offering and astounded at the pricing for this great experience.. thank you so much again and really grateful and humbled to get to visit this place
WOW TIM ,A LOBSTER TOWER ? YES THIS SCREAMS EXQUISITE! 🙂🥰
It was out of this world
Magnifique Buffet. Merci DeNous Emmener avec Toi.
Thank you so much🙏
This is a amazing buffet and the biggest and most elegant one l
have ever seen! The staff and customers are so pleasant. I love the dining room and chandeliers are gorgeous! I have always wanted to visit France especially Paris! Thank you Tim for inviting me on your journey to france.
I hope you do get a chance to visit... I was not able to show all it had to offer even in the 1 hour video 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo oh that's ok! I did see enough.😊
Thank you for the tour, looks amazing! Your insight is so generous and kind. Much more appealing than other videos I've seen on this very restaurant. Much appreciate you. Thanks again.
Thank you so much and it was an absolute dream come true to get to visit this place.
Wow, what a spectacular buffet! Stunning interior and beyond great service!
Lol @ Tim still in Spanish mode saying poquito
I was a bit panicked for words at the time 😀
There’s only one word for this dining experience; magnifique! 🌹
I agree 🙂
I wouldn’t know where to start 😮 that buffet is absolutely amazing 🤩 I can’t believe how beautiful it is and the food looks so delicious. Very overwhelming
It's quite interesting because i didn't know where to start as well . It does merritt another visit to really experience it fully
Thank you for all the detail as the buffet was worthy of it. It seems like the staff noticed your genuine enjoyment and attention as well. Cheers Tim!
I think you hit the nail on the head... it was such a genuine experience which made it so special. Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing. Such a beautiful place and great food.
I’m gonna go to France just for this buffet now.
That is quite the journey, but somehow, I think it may be worth the trek 😋
Grand indeed. C'est incroyable! Merci for not skipping those beautiful desserts.
The classics desserts were amazing 😋
This buffet is probably the best, for its price, and number of choices...amazing!
It was simply unimaginably good
Any buffet with lobster as a starter is my kinda buffet! That building is beautiful. 😊😊
Had to come edit this!
I saw the moment you weren’t sure if you could eat anymore. I thought poor baby! Seriously I would need one day just for the cheese! It all looked really good. Thanks for taking us with you!
Tim! Thanks for the great video! My family and I truly enjoy watching your experiences. You feel like a part of our family at this point haha. Keep up the great work, Tim!
What a lovely video ! Your french is good and you are so polite ! Bonsoir from France !
You're very kind.. but i did notice that everytime i attempted to speak in french , they respond in english 🤔
they noticed you were speaking english and they just wanted to make things easier for you .@@TimLeeLetsGo
That food looks delicious! I didn't mind the extra long video. I enjoyed it. You're such a kind man. Very good mannered. 👍👍
I have been binging on the videos that I have missed the last few weeks!
What a beautiful place! 😍 How kind was the staff there and the cheese guy did you so well!!
I think I would have been in a food coma!
How fortunate that you are blessed to be traveling so much this year!I am definitely living vicariously through these videos!And I am so happy that you're channel has grown so much!!I really do look forward to seeing where you will be going next!!Well done, all the way around!!
Thank you so much... It was quite an experience and David was very kind indeed with the cheese plate;it was a bit of a surprise when I got back. Definitely a bit of traveling this year and I think I might have over did it a bit 😉
Tim, this has to be one of the most amazing buffets you've ever done. I don't know how you were able to walk back to you hotel after that!! I'd have been in a complete food coma 😂. The atmosphere was AMAZING 😍. Thank you so much for sharing your food and travel experiences with us. ❤
The walk back was a bit tough but much needed. I never slept so well before 🙂
I may have missed it, but how long were you actually at the buffet? It seemed fairly relaxed. You did one recently with a 70 minute limit and it was almost painful to watch lol.
Truth be told, I was there for 6 hours!
@@TimLeeLetsGoOMG!!! 🤯 Thank you for all the time and energy you put in to make us jealous and hungry 😂. And thanks for replying ❤
What an amazing place to stay! 😮
Looks like it's definitely worth flying over just to eat there! Wow
It was beautiful
This buffet looks absolutely devine, what a wonderful experience! I’m going to have to put this on my bucket list! Thank you for sharing and I enjoy your videos very much, keep on traveling!
So beautiful, happy that you made the trip ❤...if I ever get to travel ,I would visit Japan, Spain and France ..such marvelous food and scenery ❤
Thank you so much and I hope you get to travel and explore whether far or local
Highly surprised this is only 60 Euros! One dish looks like 30 😂
What an amazing buffet, I was dreaming of what I would get if I could be there I would go for the seafood and cheese for sure but what an awesome experience 😂😂😂.
Excellent choices for sure 😋
Looks like your walk worked up an appetite! What a gorgeous room your table was in!
I absolutely enjoyed watching this video! The buffet was amazing and watching you enjoy the food was heartwarming. Excellent video! Thank you for sharing.
It was quite a spectacular place and well worth the journey. Thank you so much and I know it was a long one 😉🙏
Wait, wait, wait. No way! Half a lobster and you declined the roasted potatoes? Are we in an alternative universe?
Just mixing it up a bit there😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo The buffet was wonderful and the atmosphere was outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful place! You are very fortunate to be there, I would also like to experience this. The food looked top notch and the service impeccable.
I would highly recommend it. If you're ever near the South of France, definitely make the visit there 😋
I honestly think that only in France could a cooked duck make such a Grand entrance 🙂
O my gosh, I would love to go there. Wow! That's a foodie dream. Thank you for showing this exquisite buffet. God bless you!❤😊
Wow, classic French cooking, amazing buffet and a great video. So many items
It was quite an impressive and memorable experience. Really grateful that they offer this grand experience

Warmest greetings to you from the other side of the country... wishing you well from Vancouver Canada
Tim don’t apologize for the length of the video. I’m enjoying every moment. So much different than the Las Vegas buffets.
Thank you so much for the kind comment and greatly appreciate the feedback 😃
Thank you for sharing that was amazing it looked so good
I don’t think I did this place justice, but if you do get a chance, I would highly recommend giving a try if you’re in the area
I love how respectful you are in all your videos. 😊
Really grateful that everyone there were such good sports. Servers post and follow diners were very open 🙂
You are very nice guy the way you present is not boring
What a great treat this was to watch. Hard to top something like this. I have to live vicariously through you for this. Awesome job!
Thank you so much for your kind comment , and i was actually thinking the same thing . . . How can anyone top this experience. 🙂
😊 I enjoyed every moment. Thank you. 😋
What an absolute treat to see this awesome video! ❤ loved it!
It will meet me with satisfaction for a month to try and enjoy these amazing dishes. Thanks for sharing, well done.
There were so many amazing dishes to try, but impossible to try most of them in one to two visits.
Such a beautiful place thanks for taking us along Tim
What an Amazing experience, I love how you went through each station and asked the staff for recommendations n chose the best dish to try for yr fans, absolutely Grande...the choices, the ingredients and varieties shown is just out of the ordinary, a Must try Buffet for sure, I hope to try it someday when I visit France and hopefully the price not skyrocketed high after yr video. Thank you so much Tim for your effort👏🤩💕 super impressive buffet💯👍
I would highly recommend visiting this buffet even if it means significant travel. If i'm not mistaken , i believe one of their goals is to ensure this experience is available to many people by keeping the prices relatively affordable. Total respected them
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thanks Tim for the info👍you're always so genuine💕🤗
What a beautiful place and what great looking food. You are so lucky to be able to experience that.
I could not have fathomed ever being able to visit a place like this. Incredibly grateful and humbled to get to share these experiences.
I love France and French cuisine but I have never been to this buffet. I feel compelled to go now! Truly spectacular!
I have heard about this many years ago , and never would have imagined ever been able to visit . I can resist since i was made to make the journey and it was well worth it . They would have been worth it coming from canada as well
I so want to go to France now to try this very reasonable priced buffet. Thank you.
Exquisite, elegant experience! Thank you for bringing us on your adventures.
Thank you Lynn... I had trouble finding the right adjectives during the video.. Much appreciated!
Love watching you enjoy this amazing food!
The team there really went over the top 😋
We live in Vancouver and have reservations at les grands buffets this coming Friday, can’t wait! Thanks for this great video, it made me hungry!
I loved this episode. It certainly was amazing. Thank Tim for showing us this one which I wished I was there with all those cheeses! Well done ! Love your shows cheers!
Oh, you would love that cheese with the intensity level of 11
Everything is so beautiful and classy. Sure a wonderful variety of foods and I thank you for this episode. My cousin works for a major grocer in the Pacific northwest and has her own cheese section that she is responsible for and right next to her is her friend who is responsible for the wines. She loves introducing people to the varieties of cheeses and got me hooked on cheeses. She would love to have the experience of tasting all those fabulous cheeses there.
This is definitely a place to be for cheese lover's !
I've seen several other videos about Les Grands and they've always blown me away. It's such an amazing place.
I hope you get a chance to visit . Very well worth it 🙂
Omg, the place youre staying at is ANAZING! More travel details with your buffets, please! ❤❤❤
Can't tell you how much I appreciate your posts, Tim. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! It really means a lot 🙂🙏
Excellent job! I totally enjoyed this show.
If you’re in the area, I would highly recommend visiting this buffet.
Definitely well deserved name grand buffet. The opulence and ambience for the mere price of 60 euros. Amazing value, I think this will be on my list of to try establishments. Thanks x
It was quite an unbelievable experience and am completely astounded by the price
Thanks for sharing this beautiful place!! Looked spectacular.
They did such an amazing job there
Great sense of humor. Thanks for the video!
