List of Buffet Restaurants in the Philippines

Filipinos love buffet so it is no longer surprising that we have a lot of All You Can Eat, Eat All You Can, Unlimited or Buffet restaurants in the country. Whether you are a big eater or small eater, I’m pretty sure that you will crave for an all-you-can-eat buffet. We are not big eater and we don’t have big appetite but from time to time we go to buffet restaurants to satisfy our craving, to celebrate special occasion, or to meet friends.

Buffet rates are not cheap especially hotel buffets but there is nothing wrong if sometimes you treat yourself, have a feast or have a food adventure. My personal tip to save money is look for promos or discounts. There are online websites where you can buy buffet vouchers or coupons, some restaurants offer birthday, anniversary or even graduation promo, and some credit card companies offer discount, just use their card to pay for your food bill. If there is no promo, just look for affordable buffet restaurants, use your loyalty card or PWD ID/Senior Citizen ID.

I was already in High School when I first experienced eating in an eat-all-you-can restaurant in Cebu. It was a very long time ago so I can’t remember the name of the restaurant. There are some restaurants that I have tried in the past but for now let me share the buffet restaurants that we have tried and I have blogged about.

There are different types of buffet that you can choose from, it depends on your preference. There are buffets that serve ready cooked meals, buffets that have a chef who will cook the food for you and buffets that allow you to cook your own food.

All You Can Eat 

All You Can Eat restaurants normally serve hot and cold dishes, there are an appetizer, salad, main dish, and dessert.

1Poquito Mas 

This restaurant is located in Paseo De Sta Rosa but I think this no longer exist. Sayang! It is one of the affordable buffets that we have tried. They offer Splatino Buffet ( Spanish, Latino and Filipino foods)

2. Redragon Buffet and Quickmeal

Whenever we go to Pangasinan, we used to pass Retiro Street so we discovered Redragon Buffet & Quickmeal. This is the cheapest buffet that we have tried, though I’m not sure if this restaurant still exists since hindi na kasi kami nadadaan sa Retiro.

3. Dads Saisaki and Kamayan 

Aside from Cabalen, Dads, Saisaki and Kamayan is one of the popular buffet restaurants in the Philippines bago pa nagsulputan ang iba. Rates depend on the buffet that you will choose, most of the time we only choose Kamayan but when my sister-in-law celebrated his 30th birthday, nakapagCrossover kami.

4. La Fiesta; A Taste of Filipino 

This restaurant opened sometime in 2014. If you love Filipino foods or if you have balikbayan or foreigner friends, then visit this restaurant. Aside from food, may cultural shows ka pa na mapapanood.

Grilling 

For a different experience, try buffet restaurants that allow you to grill your own food.

1. Sambokojin 

Sambokojin is the first grilling buffet restaurant that we have tried. As in dumayo pa kami sa EDSA just to try this. It was my husband’s birthday celebration pero that time wala pa birthday promo. This is one of my most visited restaurants, we always take advantage kasi yung birthday promo and graduation promo. And because of that, I even got a free buffet at nakaipon ko ng stamps. (10 + 1 FREE Card)
