i'm on the train but let's not keep it waiting it's about five o'clock in the morning hitting from paris to a little city called narbonne in the south of france [Music] at the train station heading to norm ah breakfast sandwich i'm going to bed just getting a sandwich from a random sandwich place and a train station here in france it's going to taste amazing tuna sandwich in the morning exactly like i expected i think getting a sandwich in the u.s somewhere random at a train station at six in the morning the bridge is going to be stale the ingredient is going to be leftover here fresh ingredients fresh lettuce this is definitely made today this morning bread is fresh doesn't taste stale i wouldn't say this is a really good sandwich i would say this is a really good 6 a.m train station sandwich i predict the same thing for a croissant pretty good okay so about the strip maybe almost a decade ago i'm not quite sure i'm just googling around for stuff to eat around the world like which is honestly my favorite pastime as you all know i love buffets i grew up in a buffet i grew up living right above a buffet my family ran buffet so i was thinking i love french food what if there's a french buffet so i found one and it turned out to be maybe the most ultimate amazing french buffet in the world maybe the most ultimate amazing buffet in europe i'm not sure there's so many praises for this buffet but it's kind of hard to get to most people i think travel to narbonne which is really on the southern part of france they usually travel from barcelona i think which takes like maybe one or two hours so it's always been a bucket list item for me never been until now i feel like i'm going to disney like honestly like this is this is better than disney i think so it's a four hour train ride from paris gonna hit the buffet today uh spend the night in our ball and come back to paris tomorrow this is gonna be fun [Music] [Music] that's a beautiful little town everything looks so historic and cozy oh this is it about noon um we had to take a really early train here room's not going to be ready for another couple hours so let's go explore the town [Music] [Music] wow this town is beautiful come for the buffet and stay for this stopping for lunch at this little place and got a burger so we got a camel bear burger and also a burrata salad trying to eat a little light you know before the buffet in seven hours served my stomach i feel like a walking zombie right now because we had to get up at 4 30 a.m to get ready for the train didn't sleep on a train because didn't want to miss to stop and end up in spain or something so feel like a zombie there's still a lot of time before this buffet so hopefully this hotel has a gym finally dessert some gelato right in front of this museum in the center of town this is an experience this is it this is a buffet hotel so oh we should be getting a view of the cathedral right there oh that's pretty oh there's a jacuzzi tub what is this shampoo i think [Music] i think it's that structure there not 100 sure but i smell food in that general direction this almost looks like the loop on the outside the grand buffet founded in 1989. are you excited for this yeah are you hungry for this we travel huh we travel a long ways to get here [Music] oh there's a metal detector that's something i've never seen a buffet before wait upon closer inspection that's a little disinfection chamber if you walk through and they spray you well there's a scale you get on i guess you can weigh yourself before and after yeah when i do this oh my lord this is fan stick oh my god look at that area i'm not even there right now that looks like some fancy dessert boutique that's part of the buffet this is also dessert this whole section here is dessert oh i want to know what's in there oh that's ice cream gelato over there oh my god all the size of that chocolate fountain this hat oh crepe and ice cream ice cream that looks so pretty oh look how giant this place is real candle right and this is the table thank you so much oh that's the map for the buffet with the desserts yeah crepe and ice cream and you are here yeah i'm gonna get lost if i don't have this thank you thank you [Music] here we go we're venturing without a map oh my gosh so oysters this is the seafood section this is just intense there's french snail smoked salmon different types with caviar on the middle next one sardines oh my goodness so many different types of sardines and mussels this looks like some kind of smoked fish section oh wow lobster lobster crab look at this oh that's the most beautiful thing i've ever seen this is the most beautiful lobster tower i've ever laid my eyes upon more crab crawfish soups here cold cuts wow okay so that's pig ear some pork jelly this is all pork here sausages pork sausages cold cuts more meats i'm getting lost already in this one little section different types of cheeses caviar oh look how beautiful that is they're chopping the cheeses fresh right in front of your eyes the vegetables and more cheese little appetizers sandwiches so apparently there's over 100 types of cheese in here all right let's let's try to go to another section this is all for gua here different types different flavors there's a creme brulee for gua there's a oh people can eat here carving station where our barrel calling ham or ham is just being sliced right in front of your eyes then the roast meats league of lamb right there i don't know if you guys can see the rotisserie in the back here it is just full of meat and of course the dessert section this is the largest dessert chef section i've ever seen in a buffet and this being in france i'm sure it's gonna be amazing wow i mean again the most ginormous chocolate fountain i've ever seen oh my gosh i can't even tell you what half of these desserts are but they look amazing and besides the chocolate fountain there's also white chocolate dark chocolate crepe station of course this is the ice cream room it just looks like a such a pretty room oh wow some kind of coconut lemon pineapple these are sorbet inside their respective fruits ice cream cakes to say that i am completely overwhelmed is just such an understatement i've been to giant buffets before nothing compared to this this is probably the biggest and maybe the best buffet i've ever been to in my life [Music] [Music] round one a bunch of seafood stuff some ham look at that perfectly cooked steak some lamb i got some soup they bring you over plated bread are you just dipping ham into caviar good move from the first bite that soup is already the best thing ever of course i'm going to try to identify everything as much best as i can but a little out of my depths here with that french cuisine i'm sure i'm not supposed to be eating the soup with this little tiny teaspoon take some of that bread and dunk it in here so good so good we'll get to the steak holy moly this looks amazing each cut perfect [Music] it tastes just as good as it looks the steak is perfect and they have a bunch of different sauces there to try and right next to it is a pork loin i mean just to choose a long probably just spend all your time eating that the caviar is a little briny a little popping not as buttery as the ones i had before i don't know much about caviar i don't eat it a lot texture is really interesting the sardines the little tomatoey one it's a little sweet so flaky i'm a big fan of sardines in anchovies i love that that might be one of the best anchovies i've had anywhere i don't know what this is like a piece of fish i think it's homemade tartar sauce on top but these are the sardines i'm talking about still feeling the burn of these things in my mouth i just got a bunch of random tuna salads and of course the ham i had two slices that came so far each piece you distinctively taste the sweetness of it the piece i had in the beginning was very fatty very buttery with this piece it's got a gentle sweet note in a nutty flavor i can't wait to try the rest of that dipped in this vinaigrette not a single bite i'm loving this round i'm trying to hurry up because i think there's a two-hour limit and i want to try a little bit of everything and that dessert itself this is i don't even know i'm going to get through all that all right i'm going to finish this and then round two [Music] so every time you take a cheese you grab a little tag so you know what cheese you got [Music] a little cheese plate e with my ham [Music] look beautiful oh actually it's glitter yeah which one that was i think it tells you how strong the cheese is too this was a six out of ten this is definitely not for beginners like human gouda oh this is much more my speed that's delicious if you're a cheese lover this is definitely heaven for you i've never seen this many cheese on a buffet and that green basil cheese wow that's leaving my mouth so happy right now i saw there's like a section i didn't even touch it looks like different french dishes in there that's coming up next [Music] when you go to get like a meat dish they plate it for you like a full-on plating so this is duck i want to cry this tastes like something you order from an awesome restaurant wow even the potatoes the duck is so tender and smoky and the sauce is just divine it's like this duck flew up to food heaven covers itself in the sauce and then lin in your mouth my favorite thing so far there's a section in the back and there's dishes you just order it and they prepare for you fresh and i don't even know what those dishes are so i randomly guessed one this is the one that they gave me things are poached eggs sitting on top oh oh yeah good to see you too oh that's pretty it's sitting on top of something i'm not sure i think it's some kind of potato oh it tastes like a multi-layered potato dish underneath a beautifully poached egg it's magnificent even though there's no meat still so good got a giant prawn oh man all the best of it's doing here next dish half a lobster lobster claw is some kind of marinara sauce i think they call this american lobster it tastes like lobster and marinara sauce this is good for dipping bread all right gotta go back and get the rest of those dishes so running into a little problem the place where you place all your orders you gotta speak french we gotta be able to read french i can do neither of that and they're not numbers so it's really hard to figure out how to order this stuff because i want to get all the dishes so so far look at this roasted scallop ha ha [Music] this is freaking amazing cheesy tons of mushrooms creamy sauce and absolutely crunchy and toasted on top truffle in here as well this is some amazing amazing toasted scallop this took a lot of sign language to order second dish this is uh some kind of duck pastry moral mushrooms here's the pastry oh oh my fork went through that like it was nothing [Music] this is the greatest pastry i've ever had it's literally like eating air oh there's prague here as well this is wonderful with duck brush and crispy moral mushroom on top of this amazing sauce gotta get the rest of them okay they have an english translation of the menu so happy ah look at this bone marrow hmm that's just the ultimate butter next up roasted for guav with mushrooms mushrooms a little bitter i'm worried we've been here like probably over an hour i haven't even tried half the stuff on the buffet this needs to be like a week-long affair you can manage it at least come here for two days straight i wish today we could just kind of focus on the cold dishes and then tomorrow tackle the hot free day fair and then the third day just do dessert this is too good and i want to eat everything i'm going to give you guys a list of what they have here because i don't know if i can get through this oh this is freshly made stuff that you can order that's not from one of the buffet trays you can get rabbit american lobster regular lobster beef tornadoes duck breasts big burgundy snail omelette for gua with organic mushrooms veal liver chop steak roasted turbo sebring salmon skate quail stuck with fergus kidney fish dumpling and crayfish crayfish sauce ah so much stuff [Music] do [Music] do savory plates later santa dessert hats it starts hackling the dessert because i think there's a two-hour time limit according to our candles running out of time and there's a lot of desserts to be had like a lot a lot of desserts [Music] promise i don't know what half the stuff is this tastes like yogurt with granola on the bottom this is really pretty i think this is yogurt as well a multi-layered chocolate cake with a mousse on top and a crispy bottom this is divine and this thing it just said royal i don't know what that meant but it looks like dark chocolate and definitely looks like something super rich and decadent oh yeah that's rich that's so smooth too i think it's like a dark chocolate fudge cake it's amazing it's a chocolate pastry with toasted caramel [Music] this one kind of tastes like a black horse cake hmm this is is on a whole different level i mean in this country you expect your dessert section to be delicious and oh my god it's so delicious this chocolate's hard it's touga the chocolate is so incredibly smooth and silky it's almost too silky and just when you're kind of lost in all that delicious silkiness the crunch from the cookie crust wakes you up snaps you back to reality this is just oh how could it be so good all right plate two there's some really interesting ones in here first of all chocolate and clare that's probably the best of one of those i've ever had half of the stuff biting into it it's like air look at this a caramel apple cinnamony it's crunchy don't usually like apples i like that this is their specialty here i think this is caramelized apples and a thin little layer of pastry very cinnamony the whole thing is very light and that is a prevailing theme for a lot of these pastry items they're so light this is one of my favorite things it's a canal very common french pastry very difficult to make this is excellent here really chewy bread pudding i think it's just a dessert section in this place eating it almost gives you an outer body experience i don't even want to talk i just want to sit here while i was taking bites of these desserts they want to talk just want to sit here and just quietly indulged again i wish it was one day we come here and all you do is eat dessert i can't believe i'm trying to fit so much food into these two hours it's impossible you can't do it i'm leaving with so much food regret right now like already i want to come back you want to come back too right like tomorrow i have to say i think this is the best buff i've ever been to my life and this is the ultimate buffet destination like the top of europa fight bucket list needs to be this place let's go into the ice cream room [Music] hey oh that cream is so good this looks like a coconut sorbet served in a coconut shell ah so good creamy coconut ice cream what coconut shavings inside we're gonna finish these before we go back for some more because you only allow one person per time second ice cream little pineapple oh i can't even open it pineapple sorbet this is actually a really good conclusion item so refreshing that kind of wipes all that grease out of your mouth i think this is going to be it for me it's weird i feel kind of hungry again do you feel hungry again it's weird have we been here that long two hours right but this has been such an incredible experience there's no buffet i've ever been to where at the conclusion of my time i probably haven't even tried a good portion of the food items and i know there's so much i'm missing out on right now there's just not enough time and the crazy thing about this buffet all this 42 euros so about 50 us dollars probably not even and that's everything tax service everything 42 euros that's an amazing deal for a lobster buffet i mean not just a lobster buffet but a french culinary experience if you think about how dinner brought phase in las vegas is about 70 i think nowadays before tax and before gratuity makes this even greater value the only problem is like you have to get on a train to get here but trust me it's worth it and again if you can find the openings because this place is always booked like year round if you can find the openings i would suggest just make a ship out of it this town is beautiful just come here for like three days and just eat here every single day and i think only then can you truly capture this culinary experience in full i know there's no list of like the best buffet in the world but i feel like i've been to enough buffets in the world to just say at least for me this is the number one buffet in the world and i really think so if you are ever able to make it here this is a culinary destination that should be at the top of your buffet bucket list and it's always the information for this place listed down below for you guys thank you all so much for watching until we eat again see you later
