Royal Buffet sur Merignac

A bit pricey on Sundays, but we ate well. A very comprehensive buffet and excellent service. Kudos for the delicious tiramisu.

I really enjoyed this place with my family. (Except for the parking.)

A pleasant experience, good choice, freshness, and equally good in the starters, the main courses...at a reasonable price.

There's something for everyone!*

All-you-can-eat buffets are popping up everywhere in Bordeaux, so yes, this one is probably the biggest buffet I've ever tried. It's a food overload, with a selection of dishes that will make your brain swell up 🤣 The advantage is that everyone will find something they like; it's pretty good, the sushi selection is really good, and the carving of dry-aged meats or leg of lamb is a real plus. (Served neatly on individual plates, too!) Honestly, everything about this buffet is great 👍 The only major downside for me is the deafening noise 😑 I don't know why the noise is so contained in the space, but yes, it gives you a headache...

A very nice buffet restaurant with lots of choice, but the parking lot is really too small, too crowded, and too noisy. A shame.

All-you-can-eat restaurant for over €30 in the evening, so a bit pricey for my taste. However, the setting is superb, the establishment is very spacious, there's a huge selection, and personally, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Personally, I find the place a bit noisy, and with two children aged 8 and 11, ending up with a bill of over 60 euros for a bottle of water and a beer is really too expensive. Perhaps buffets aren't for us... we don't stuff ourselves, and our behavior isn't about always wanting more, unlike some people around us. The food is good and there's plenty of choice. The staff is friendly.

To summarize: 10/10 for the selection. 7/10 for the taste. 8/10 for the atmosphere. Excellent value for money at lunchtime. Hello. We went to the Royal Buffet in Mérignac on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, for lunch. I almost didn't go given some negative reviews, but I must say I don't understand the negative comments. Lunch service, €20.90 per person. We arrived 15 minutes before the doors opened. And until they did, the queue reached 100 people. The doors opened a few minutes before noon. And within 10 minutes we were seated. Once we had ordered our drinks, we were able to go to the buffets. So, right from the start, the selection is comprehensive and enormous. And there, the choice is incredible. More than 30 types of sushi. More classic Asian salads or crudités; hot and cold dishes. Fish stations, meats to cook. Wok dishes to make. Pizza, plenty of side toppings. A buffet with cheese, charcuterie, and raw and cooked seafood. The choice is endless. So, for the selection, 10/10. For the quality, the sushi is a bit large but full of different flavors. The salads are well-seasoned. The pre-cooked meats are melt-in-your-mouth tender: duck breast, beef fillet, shredded beef leg, and even lamb shank (which you have to eat whole, though). There's a bit of a wait for the food to be cooked, but nowhere near the 20 minutes mentioned in some reviews (maybe on weekends). For dessert, there are verrines, cakes, ice cream scoops, a white and dark chocolate fountain, macarons, and pastries. Even waffles and pancakes. The desserts are mass-produced, but they taste good. Plates are cleared as needed. Each time, we're asked if we've finished. Even the toilets are nice. We'll be back. Thank you.

Best restaurants in the world, there's nothing better for a family meal, I love it, there's nothing better in Bordeaux
