    A big thank you to ‪@Vessi‬ for sponsoring this video!
    In this video, I'm taking you to Le Grand Buffet in Narbonne, France, which I believe is the best buffet in the world! For only $60, I enjoyed champagne, caviar, a lobster tower, and many other delicious dishes. I also explored the beautiful city of Narbonne and visited the historical sites. Let me know in the comments below if you've ever been to Le Grand Buffet or if you have any other recommendations for buffets in France!
    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.

    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.

      Seiche is "cuttlefish" (morgate" in Brittany), not squid (calamar); Settoise is actually "Sètoise". why did not you use multiple plates, instead of mixing custard with caviar and "wild rabbit (hare) ?

      They each have their own technique - I think they both do a good job. Mike highlights the meats and Tim does tend to show more of the variety, which is always quite nice. Tim Lee is somewhat more knowledgeable on the many foods. But Mike does show the food really up close so you feel like you're there tasting with him. 🌿

    I was there at this buffet several weeks ago. It's not an exaggeration. It's an unbelievable dining experience, I tried to eat as little as possible leading up to it, and I spend almost four and a half hours trying to eat slowly and in small bits to sample as much as possible. It's unbelievably tasty virtually every dish. I also tried as many or several of those plated dishes that the chefs will prepare for you. I used Google to figure out how to say the names when ordering. They bottled up my wine at the end so I could take it home. So nice. The whole experience is classy and pleasant. All the food is high quality and makes your stomach feel good. I cannot imagine them trying to replicate this buffet here in the states as everyone would abuse it. I hope I can go again.
