- Finally, more buffets are coming back! ...but with some differences of course. Happy to get to experience a familiar place call the ARC Restaurant, but this time, their buffet is is a little different. During this time, the dishes come to you! Slightly different, but similar great food and always great friendly servers and hosts.
I had the good fortune to dine with good friends Albert and Ash a few years back, and during this second visit, I was excited to see what's changed. Very pleasantly surprised with the great assortment of dishes, from meats and seafood, to vegetarian plates that were second to none. While I'm dining alone this time, I'm very grateful to be able to connect with everyone.
A very big thank you to Kristyna for making this happen. Always appreciative of great suggestions of new places to visit.

Foods just come to you! love that concept! hungry already just by hearing that :) the crab cake and poached egg, delicious! this buffet is fancy, nice presentation too!

@@TimLeeLetsGo Yeah but we just had more new cases again recently, hope you're well there as always and wish you a very happy holiday too!
Happy Hannukah, Tim⚒It was a very interesting assortment of victuals, especially served at the mysterious night time 🌛
Thank you Petr and a happy Hanukkah to you also! It was actually pretty late and dark... It was a nice atmosphere but filming was a little bit tough with the darkness 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo But the results were very good. The light was also perfectly undimmed🐳
Thanks for keeping the content coming. Thanks to you, I have a huge list of places that I want to go when I can go to the lower mainland again.
Thank you so much Laura! hoping you can visit soon. Have a safe and happy holiday 🙂

Great menu. Price is very reasonable for the quality of the dishes. Thanks Tim.❤️
Thank you Tipper! I must say it is quite good value indeed, really enjoyable experience. All the best to you
Tim you are correct about the Vidalia onions are from Georgia. My family did not live that far from the city of Vidalia. My dad would grow them in his garden.
Thanks Susan! I've always heard of Vidalia onions and never had a chance to try it until now... Worth the anticipation 😋. Hope you have a very safe and happy holiday🙂
Oooh that crab cake looks yummy, looked very fancy and a nice dining experience, also great pricing too!
Hey Tim. Good to see you again. Yes loving all the food. Happy Holidays. Looking forward to seeing you in the next year. Cheers

Hi Tim, I love your videos. From Vancouver BC, Canada.😊👍🤗😇
Hello fellow Vancouverite, hope you're keeping well... Hope you get a chance to give it a try if you get the chance, it was a pretty nice experience. Wishing you a very happy holiday 🙂
I adore Tims vlogs, he is always so polite to everyone, the reviews are excellent, the food is superb, I wish he would do more. I send my best wishes for Christmas, look after yourself, and see you next year.
All the best to you too Nigel, looking forward to a much better New year 😃
GREAT VIDEO THANKS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
A very happy holidays to you too Linda 😀
Oh man that duck Emmental mac and cheese could have turned out to be my fave but James's short ribs looked like a close second...Be well Tim and keep up the fine work!
Thanks so much again black sheep 🙂 hope you and yours are staying safe and enjoying the holiday season 🙂
What an absolutely lovely video. Everything looked scrumptious! Definitely needed this video, feeling a bit defeated right now and this was the perfect pick me up. Thank you.
Thanks so much Goodi2shooz🙂. It is certainly a challenging time this year, but we'll all pull through... Yeah, sometimes a meal tends to cheer things up a bit. Wishing you a great holiday to come 🙂
Happy holidays and merry Christmas Tim good to see you great video looks delicious how much I'm ready to go to Arc too keep it up my fellow vancoverite
Hey Ron, do give it a try if you get the chance. It was pretty good. Wishing you a safe and wonderful holiday 🙂
Happy Holidays yo you and your family and friends. This as usual looks fantastic. Will be so glad when things get back to semi-normal because I don’t think things will ever be “normal” again. Stay safe and eat lots of good food.
I'm very happy holidays to you Sally, very sure things will get back to normal in short time 😃
I really enjoy your videos! Hope you have a safe, healthy and joyful Christmas !
Thank you Leanne! Hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday! 🙂
Hi tim calvin here welcome back to a nice buffet!! Is it as nice being served as it is helping yourself to an open buffet? You looked like you really were enjoying the food great material stay safe out there and happy holidays to you and your family
Thank you again Calvin, yeah, very different than the traditional buffet... But certainly lots of food. thank you so much for the warm wishes, wishing you a very safe and happy holidays to you and your family as well 🙂
Glad your doing video's again
Thanks Richard 🙂
This is such a mood lifter Tim! Love it!
A very happy holidays to you Alex!
he houngry
Dessert looked decadent. Delicious video. Happy Holidays!
Hi Dana, wishing you a happy and safe holiday as well! Was certainly glad I got the dessert :-)
Great assortment . I like this Christmas ambience.
Hi Oriane, it was quite festive (which was much needed this year). Hope you're keeping well and wishing you a safe and happy holiday!
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thanks Tim, I wish you also happy holidays and merry Christmas!
The short ribs too, looks super tender and tasty, wanna try them all actually! you got so many food rounds there :)
You are such a nice guy and i enjoy following you even from New Zealand keep up the good work Tim
A very happy holidays to you Martin, and hope things are going well in New Zealand! Wishing you a great holiday and a great summer!
Looks so good as always! Merry Christmas Tim!
A very Merry Christmas to you too 🙂
Drool 🤤...damn i miss all the buffet’s since the pandemic 🤙🏼😹
Yeah, me too... And nice to see some of these opening up again 🙂
This is a great dining concept. An individual buffet tailored to one's personal preferences. Each dish looked perfectly composed and well presented. Very gourmet. Liked the meatless offerings, which were very imaginative, but everything else looked delicious as well. This is a great bargain for just $35.
Yeah, it was definitely a nice experience and I would say that the vegetarian dishes are just as good if not better than the meat ones 😋
Hi Tim,
Another great video, keep them coming!
Thank you so much for you kind comment James! Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!
Your videos always put me in a great mood. Thank you Tim!
Thank you so much for reaching out Keely... Wishing you a great holiday 🙂
The food looks so delicious! I love buffets because of their varieties. They're may not all be to my liking but i love the presentations. And you make it all the more inviting.
Thanks so much Jun 🙂. It was quite nice especially with all the variety. thank you so much again for reaching out!
Great video as always Tim! That’s a great price for all that food! Glad to see things slowly opening
Hey Tim happy holidays the food looks delicious 🤤
Thank you Michelle, wishing you a wonderful and safe holiday season 🙂
🦀 cake with runny egg yolk 😳 that 🧅 pie though 😬 can't believe you went 3 rounds + dessert by yourself 👏 $35 is not bad at all 😀
Thanks so much David, it was quite a nice deal, but I think I did over ordered a bit 😉
I thought you were going to drop this on Sunday but when I clicked on it ..it went to private mode 😆
... Yeah, a bit of problems with the video... Not the best at editing here 🤦🏻♂️😉
👋🏼 Hi Tim 👋🏼 Another mouthwatering video. Everything looked sooo delicious 🤤 This is one video I wish I was there to accompany you. Maybe one of these day. 😉
Thanks Sonja🙂 LOL, could have really used the help. Wishing you a fantastic holiday!
@@TimLeeLetsGo You as well, Thank you. 🙂
Love these buffer videos...keep it up...we need a rank list for ir favorite buffets in Vancouver area 2020
Great idea! Thank you and wish you a safe and happy holiday season 🙂
I am missing dinner, travel and being with family and friends. This looked delicious, except the fried olives. 😆 Sending good vibes your way. Stay healthy.
Hey Gena, yes, I'm certainly missing those things too :-) Thank you so much and wishing you a safe and happy/creative holiday :-)
@TimLee what wines did you pair with your meal? Glad to see you are back making videos. Be Safe!
Hey Doug, thank you so much for reaching out. Pairing... I think I just left that up to James the server and he certainly paired it well. Wishing you a safe and happy holidays 🙂
Hey Tim great video as always! Can’t wait to visit Vancouver again. Can you do a tour of UBC area (where I used to stay) and all the new food options there?
Thanks gballer 🙂. Hope you can visit soon! Yes I know UBC quite well... And got a chance to work in some of the labs over there 🙂
Tim, the tart de tan looked absolutely luscious. Great to have buffets back.
Btw can you send a video Christmas greeting to us over here in singapore? We have a crew of Canadians that love your channel!
@@gballer1 thank you so much...will do!
Do you have an email you can be reached at ? Otherwise you can drop me on at yong.gregory@gmail.com
@@gballer1 sure, my email is timtimtim@gmail.com
It's been almost a year since I last dine in a restaurant here in Toronto 🇨🇦. Sure hope I could celebrate my big birthday in Jan/21 at my favourite restaurant. 🎂
A early happy birthday to you Muffin gal 🙂. I can't believe a year has gone by already! But looks like we'll be able to put this behind us soon... And hopefully before your birthday 🙂. Hoping you have a safe and happy holidays 🙂
Thank you Tim. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2021.🎄❄️☃
Wow! For the price that looked like a very good deal! I would have been on the Short Ribs and Mashed Potatoes like 3 to 4 orders of them!! A really GREAT Review!!!!!!
Thanks so much Layton! I was also quite impressed with the value. Very nice meal but might have over ordered a wee bit. :-)
Thanks for another great video Tim that crab cake looked so good!!!
Thanks so much Herb, ...wishing you a fantastic holiday 🙂
Great video as always thanks.
Thanks so much zzba bazz! Hope you have a great and safe holiday!
@@TimLeeLetsGo Happy Holidays for you and your family!
Okay that was the first time you made me really hungry, great job
Thank you so much Domo Domo 🙂
Hi Tim, thanks for another great video. Unfortunately for us in NYC the Governor shut down dining in. Lucky you!!! 😭
I'm so sad to hear that's happening in New York! Hopefully it'll be short-lived and it looks like we're all so close to putting this behind us 🙂 in any event, wishing you a creative way to celebrate the holidays!
Love your video
buffet king ~wow~
Thanks Jason LOL 🙂
"carrots I generally like in cake form".......haaaaaa, love it.
im glad we can connect too i love yur videos merry christmas happy new year
Merry Christmas Claire 🙂... Wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday!
Tim, have a Merry Christmas
Thank you Richard, a very merry Christmas to you too 😃
the food looks fantastic, it must be a great place to start the evening, it is hard to get used to the limited lifestyle, well I do not complain, I can work and keep the wheels going, but I miss big crowds concerts, and travels, markets events, and just be like normal again :)
Thanks for reaching out gardini... totally agreed! We are quite blessed with work and being able to keep things going...but yeah, some of the luxuries that we take for granted in the past are well missed. Looks like we're all getting through it though. All the best to you!
Wow,.. thisisgood
Thank you again amateur ranconteur🙂
The VIP treatment for Tim! haha nice!
I'm amazed this is back at all! I feel like Seattle is still 2-3 months out from this kind of dining, if not longer. Was the area you were seated in really separated off or how did it work space-wise for your table? (And the food looks awesome!)
Feast buffet in Renton that he reviewed before is open again. I'm honestly to nervous to eat inside yet.
@@ludettep I'm surprised! Yeah, I would be too, it feels a bit early for buffet anything in King County.
Well, my honest opinion is that indoors almost anything is not safe, but downtown Vancouver case numbers are relatively lower than much of BC.
@@loisrp Good to know Lois! Thank you!
@@DessertGeek it does feel a bit early. their reviews said they were practicing safe dinning, but other than having single use serving utensils, i dont know what that means. i tried to eat inside at a resturaunt in August for my birthday and my anxiety couldnt handle it, there were only 2 other coupls inside of a large resruraunt.
2:10 Alcina's infectious laugh was probably wasn't the only thing you remember? AmIRight? lol
just so ya know Vidalia onions are literally from the town Vidalia, Georgia. cant call just any sweet onion variety a Vidalia.
Thanks so much! It is good to know! First time trying them and they certainly did not disappoint 😋
Great!
Thanks slh
What a beautiful restaurant. Everything looked outstanding and wouldn't this venue be perfect for a date night? Was the wine included in the price?
It was a very nice experience!... And would be a perfect date night place...once that's allowed again🙂. Unfortunately, the wine was not included 😔😉
Brother Tim. If you travel to the Southeastern part of the United States please let me know. I can give you some good references. Be safe out there. Peace ✌️
Thank you so much in advance Eric, I might just take you up on that offer. Really appreciated many folks that recommended places to go... Including the place in this video. Hoping you have a wonderful and safe holiday 🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo Sounds good Tim. Keep me posted. I actually used to be stationed at Fort Lewis, WA when I was in the Army so I wasn’t too far from you. Keep up the good work and be safe out there sir.
Beautiful presentation on all those plates! I almost had an opportunity to work there (Grace) but I opted not to. #norrgrets
Grace, that was a sad loss for the Fairmont/Arc.
@@TimLeeLetsGo was it though?? Haha 😂 thanks Tim! Another great review
Hey Tim. Could you email us? twochefsoneknife911@gmail.com
We want to give you some chips
@@TwoChefsAndAKnife just checking this out and looks amazing! I might want to purchase some for some xmas gifts.. (will connect via email)
I too favor carrots in cake form - but those looked yummy!
Thanks Lucy, just being a little bit silly and sometimes I really don't know what I'm saying on those videos 😉
The link in the description is out of date. Its $49 now
Thanks Jimmy! Will sort out the links..they did indicate they would raise the prices during the holidays, just didn't realize it was so quick...
is wine bottomless too 😊
LoL I wish, Cat....I wish😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo keepup the vancouver videos, love them.
That's what we have when Spirit Mountain casino here in Oregon opened up. Food comes to your table with not a lot of items to choose from. But it was fine and now Oregon is into "FREEZE STATUS" ordered by the governor.
Well, better be safe than sorry. Take out or delivered food is the way to go since I'm not a good cook. lol
Oh, that actually sounds pretty good Sandog! Hopefully things will be open up again soon... take out/to go is certainly a great alternative... Wishing you a wonderful and safe holiday 🙂
You love your buffets and wine 😁. This looks better than a typical buffet. This looks pricey. How much of the food do you actually eat?
I was pleasantly surprised at the value of the meal... it was $35 CAD and well worth it. Most of the items were finished but I did have a problem with the pita bread and extra sourdough.. Hope you're getting out or getting take-out to enjoy some meals as well. Wishing you a safe and happy holidays!
“Too many vegetables “ lol ... this restaurant is on our to do list .. hope the price goes back down
LOL Winston, hope you get to give it a try. 🙂
How long did you stay for your entire meal? And was there a time limit for this buffet? Everything looked so delicious and beautiful!!
Thanks blackbell! I suspect I must have overstayed a bit, but they did not specify a time. ...with that dessert, it was probably like 2 hrs!!! Hope you're getting a chance to go out and enjoy some of the places (safely) as well. Wishing you a very happy holiday!
YUMMY!!!
Thank you Ron! Happy holidays to you
Thank YOU Tim!!!All the best to you and your FAMILY!!!
For 35 dollars really really really good
Everything looked incredible; venue, atmosphere and food quality. However, I'd be so embarrassed ordering so much food from a server. Gluttony is best enjoyed alone.
Thanks Tony, and yes agreed about ordering too much... I think the server, James, and I had an understanding that let me will be given the blind eye 😉. Wishing you a wonderful holiday 🙂
I think for the next two years its going to be food comes to you at any kind of buffet. I wonder though if AYCE Korean BBQ will remain the same.
Thanks Ron! Ohh.. I could go for some Korean BBQ :-) Yeah, I think your right with respect to the style and it's kinda nice to see restaurants offering these endless meals now...
👍🙂
😁😁😁
