We love our buffets, don't we? London is probably one city with more massive buffets than anywhere in the world. However, this has led to the creation of buffet restaurants that just churn out food, some with quality so appalling you can read the complaints everywhere.
As a lover of good food and fine dining, i've put together this little site to let you know about my favourite buffet restaurants in London. The criteria is simple. Good, tasty food and plenty of it with decent service. Let the journey begin. |
Kitchin N1,

Kitchin, as it's known to everyone, is probably one of the best buffet restaurants in Central London today. I have seen the menu evolve from a normal buffet to the quality international dining venue it is today. If you are fortunate to actually work in King's Cross, they have an excellent lunch and dinner buffet that costs as much as a-la-carte dining anywhere else. With a large selection of dishes from china, thailand, italy, europe, india and a few pleasant surprises here and there, Kitchin is now the place to dine if you're in King's Cross.

Unlike many of the buffet restaurants today which are trying to pump out more and more food, Kitchin's focus is on quality dining for anyone at an affordable price, hence the fact that most of the items you get in the buffet would easily sell as a la carte items anywhere else.
With the inclusuion of a personal wok station, yes they actually make it for you right there, a personal tandoori chef with an authentic tandoor oven and and euro style barbecue. Kitchin has taken the buffet experience to a whole new level that other establishments cannot match.
To complete the feast there are international salads and desserts, all made in house, like everything else
Kitchin is also very family friendly. It has a chilled out atmosphere which makes it easy for families to dine and at the same time, because of its massive size, couples and people conducting business meetings seated on the other side of the restaurant will not be disturbed.
It is one of the best buffet restaurants today that just seems to get better with time.
